ok so i was driving my d15b7 t-3 turbocharged car last night when it began smoking like crazy from the exhaust. the car still runs really smooth and the turbo is still working fine too

i dont know if the seals on the turbo could be making it smoke that bad or not

what could be causing this
when i burnt rings in my other d15b a long time ago it wasent turbo or anything but it smoked and ran horrible

please give me some suggestions

White smoke=head gasket, Blue Smoke = Burned Rings or Pistons

Need more info. Compression test?

Oh yeah I sell JDM engines too

?????

ok i know its not the engine now because i took off the turbo and there was no more smoke.

the inside of the exhaust housing on the turbo was full of oil what could have caused this to happen and can i get a rebuild kit or do something to fix this.

Is the turbo's bearings sloppy? Two things can happen if your oil drain carbons up it can back up oil into the turbo and make it smoke. Or the line can clog to the point that the bearings don't get enough oil and they are damaged, and then oil spills thru them and the seals into the exhaust. My car used to smoke when cold because the oil was thicker and would back into the turbo, but I changed to 0W-40 Mobile 1 Synth and haven't had any throubles. If your turbo has slop side to side, say more than .005", I'd order up a rebuild.

slammedcivy what is the size of your oil return line from the turbo to the oilpan? This line needs to be much larger then the oil line supplying the turbo (1/2 inch i.d. whenever possible) and should exit from the very bottom of the turbo and go striaght down into the pan with the least amount of bends as possible. If the oil finds it difficult to return to the pan it will be forced out thru the seals in your turbo......

i have 1/2 inch line with like a 90degree bend at the end where it goes into the pan but at the oil outlet on the turbo i put on a brass nipple that only has like a 3/16in hole in it so could that be the problem with the flow??
