Iam purschasing a 92 hatch with a b16 on boost, but the problem is the the car smokes! it smokes all the time a white/black smoke. He said that is the turbo burning oil its some shitty ebay turbo! the car has alot of power and is semi built. The car was running for about 20min at idle and didnt even come close to overheating!
I will be purchasing this car tommorow what should i check for b4 doing this?
Iam planning to change the turbo anyways


Thanks for the help guys!!

hey also check to make sure he doesnt have a coolent leek or maybe a bad piston ring that happen to one of my friends they had a pritty bad seal leak and he was burning and loosing oil and his pistons got fried.

skUnK2jdm

how should i check this??

bluedragon

well you can take a comprssion tester with you and check the compression in all 4cylinders if there all of that means you have a leek or somthing is off now checking for coolant thats a little differnt I would say if the oil smells like coolant or looks like a heavy or dark green color that means he has coolant leeking into the engine

I wouldn't buy a project car that doesn't work right. If he bought a cheap-*** ebay turbo, who knows what else he skimped on the car.

ok what should comp. be at? b16a with 9:7 cp pistons

turbodano

it sounds like it the turbo take the intercooler pipe off and see if there is oil in it. 300 repair and you are back on the road.

bluedragon

well that is a tuff question but I will just say this if all 4 are about the same there good inf one or more has different numbers there somthing bad in that cylinder

save yourself some time check the turbo in and out play and for oil in the pipes first. It is the quickest thing to do. It is also the most likley problem you have.

skUnK2jdm

ok so if theres oil in the ic pipes then thats the problem? that means thats its burning the oil!!

It means the turbo is failing and oil from inside the turbo is buring in the exhaust. It is a common problem when turbos are on the way out.
