smokey s14

[haydn itr]

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?

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
