i and a friend did our first turbo set up last summer. the turbo kit was new it took us a week but we got it done. the turbo was letting out some black smoke. we went to a tunner shop to get the computer tunned. and the guy ends up telling us that the turbo is burnt beacuse it smoking.BUt i also have a friend that works there and he has an eg gsr turbo and his was smoking hella bad. so ??????wtf????? the owner is kinda in the 5 finger side . and guess what he told us!! that you just can throw away a turbo just like that, that to give it to him and he can throw it away for us lololol o man this guy.... the turbo has less then 30 miles we took it off and got a new. and its still smoking, and its pushing 14psi.
we still got the other turbo an i was wounder how to tell if it bad??

 

it took you a year to get it tuned and now youre wandering why its smoking??? What color smoke? what kind of turbo?

 

dude did you even read what i wrote!!!! what color, black man!!!!! did you even pay attention.... where did i ever say that it took me a year to tune the computer ??? i got a GARRETT turbo right now, and the one that i want to know about is a gt35r turbo. they were telling me that it didnt get enough oil that the oil pressure was to low... but would that make the turbo burn out???? aaaawwwww man read it right next time!!!!!!

 

I think that the reason you're not getting appropriate responses is because it is very difficult to read that first post. I'm sorry, but its even taken me 3-4 times to try and understand what you're really trying to ask. Most people at this point will move on and not respond. Getting this uptight, will get you nothing.

(What I'm really trying to say is, if you have a shorter version of what happened, have a list of the parts used for the setup, and state a more direct question, you might get better responses)

Try again, and good luck.

 

my eyes are burning.

 

Don't write the same way you talk.

 

In short there was black smoke coming out of his turbo and a local tuner told him his turbo is bad and he wants to know how to tell if the turbo is actually bad.


If you put a new turbo on and its still smoking theres probably a leak in your Manifold somewhere.

 

"Black smoke".

TONS of questions come up here, which is why he needs to be clear as to how it came to start to "smoke" in the first place.

-Rich condition?
-Oil in the smoke?
-What components used?
-Was the turbo new or used?
-Were there any restrictors used? What was the oil pressure?

too many variables involved to listen to just one testimony from a mechanic.
The person doesn't seem to be interested in a response anyway, so let's just let him be.

Good luck to him and what he does to solve his issue.

someone correct me if Im wrong, but wasn't last summer about a year ago?

for someone that took a week to install a turbo kit and doesnt know **** ,including the english language, you sure are cocky. Good luck getting any help with an attitude like that.

 

Make sure ur oil return line isnt cramp. sometimes when there is a cramp in the return line the oil cant return to the oil pan fast enough an it will began to fill up in the turbo thus blower oil out in the exhaust making (black smoke). This isnt a good thing, u can kill the seals in the turbo.. try to keep ur return line straight as possible without any bends..

 

black smoke doesnt necassary mean the turbo is bad

 

Has anyone ever correlated the amount of illiterate posts on this site with honda ownership?

example: look guys this car be smokin black the tuner said it wuz oil pressure but now i dont no because if i cant even type a sentence how shuld i no how to turbo

 

i was 16 when i did my first turbo.. ok how old were you?? but that dont matter? ill tell you my set up.
head b16=
blox cams
blox Valvespring Kit
blox Titanium Retainer
skunk2 cam gears
skunk2 I.M.

block gsr=
JE Pistons
Eagle Rods
block guard

aem fuel rail
750 rc injectors
255 walbro

its not the best but thats what i got
how much hp you guys thing im pulling??
i was going for 350hp

 

Doesn't sound like you know really what you're talking about. You can make well over 350hp with a rod and piston setup. What are you tuned on? Is it or has it been dyno'd? So you bought the motor with JE pistons, rods, blockguard, and some goodies in the head?

 

wit turbo kits, sometimes the return line comes flipped upside down whi9ch causes oil to back up and make the turbo smoke

 

Last chance. Instead of worrying about your "pride" and "honor" by returning insults, you may want to address what we stated first. This is supposed to be a tech forum, not a pissing contest. If you want help, slow down, be mature, and check out your issues.. Otherwise, this goes nowhere, and someone will have it locked. k?

 

I don't get it... Now your asking how much HP your setup will make? Stick with your first question.

Blowing smoke can me lot's of things. If your friends is also blowing smoke, that doesn't rule out that it's normal. He is also having issues aswell then.

With only 30 miles on it, start with the basics. How much oil pressure at the oil feed? Restricted or no? Too much pressure or no? Correct drain setup and angle? Inspect turbo oil seals? Too much blow-by? Are you running any kind of a proper breather setup?

These are just basic things to check and answer. Go check it out and report back.

 

na man it didnt have anything. i bought just the shell and did the motor swap myself with an older brother. but thats s different story...... i did everthinn my self did my home work, google alot and had two jobs man. so ill check the oil lines. make sure there ok.

so the old turbo "gt35r" i still have it so maybe it still good if it was just that

 

send your turbo out to ATP turbo. they did a complete breakdown on my turbo and a full inspection for only $50. I was very happy with their work. u should give that a try bro.

 

ill just send it to ATP and see what they say its better then just having it laying around.
