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

[200sx-slider]

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

[haydn itr]

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

[200sx-slider]

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
