friend of mine just bought a white s14 and realised now that its after getting really smokey, i asked him what colour and he said whiteish, so i was tinkn coolant.but las night i was behind him and i couldnt make out the colour but it defintley was the smell of burning oil so i was tinkn would he be better off replacing the engine rather than doing the head work, what would work out cheaper?
it wasnt bought in kildare was it? just that i know of a dodgy 1 that was sold up round here
could be the seals gone in the turbo i'd say
no he got it in galway ,sorta out in sticks up there,he has it a while bou 2months or more jus problem has gotten worse,hes not very mechanicaly minded so needs to be fixed now before it becomes a big issue
does it get worse when it's on boost
im not too fimaliar with these yokes was more into the hondas, but do u reckon that might be the culprit,wat are them engines like for rings etc
he said if hes driving along its grand then he comes to a roundabout and slowing down and goes again then a big loada smoke if that makes sense
turbo fucked i had the same problem it wont last to long if it's doing that mine lasted about 3/4 weeks
would it be using oil if the turbo was gone,is it an expensive fix, u a 100% sure just dont no much about these if some 1 says burning oil id automatically tink valve seal or rings
it sound more like a turbo to me anyway and not to expencive to fix and the sr's are a good engine when it comes to valve seals and ring they are not like honda's witch are a cunt of a yoke for seals and rings i know i had enough of them over the years
It would lad the seal in the turbo would be leaven the oil into the exhuast hence the blue smoke!! Leave it tick over for 20min and see does it start throwin out blue smoke on tick over!Quote:

depend on what turbo he goes for again if he went for a s15 t28r bb it could cost between 350 and 500 for one
ya excatly! and if he drives it on for a lil while the smoke shouldnt be there as much! on tick over its slowly leakin into the exhaust throught the turbo seal! s15 turbos are make 200,300 euro!
They all say they have a s15bb turbo its the in thing these days :mad:Quote:

Tell your mate if the turbo goes to stop the car there and then otherwise all your engine oil will disappear and turbo will be the least of his worries
and fitting them is that a big job or isit expensive im from clonmel lik if u wanted ta see it i could bring it out , i jus wana give yhe lad a ball park figure of a turbo and fittin it if that is the problem,maybe another turbo if any off ye know what might be a better option
cheers stevo;) yeah lad, there is tiny plate on it if its a 15 turbo it should have the code 11411-91f00 or 11411-60f00 any other code its not s15 turbo manQuote:

Lads yous are jumping the gun here a little saying the turbos fucked....! White smoke could be a lot of things...! Yes it could be the tubby but it could also be t6he head gasket or even rings....! It could even be something as simple as the oil return feed being blocked...!
Ya can only tell by looking at these things so really none of us are any use...! Best bet is to get someone to look at it...!
i pm'd u back with my number ring me
Sounds more like headgasket to me if it's just white smoke, get it compression tested
is it a burgandy one by any chance 97s14????
sounds like head trouble more then turbo to me,do a compression test dude.
I'd say the laughin shaft in the turbo has come loose.........
