Hi all, having a few problems with my new 300zx twin turbo (auto) there is loads of White smoke coming out of passenger side exhaust I have taken turbo pipes off and there is no water in the pipes. It is not loosing much water or oil but turbo doesn't seem to spool up. Does this sound like a goosed turbo? Or could it still be head gasket. It ticks over fine just when you rev engine it pushes out White smoke.

 

Plus can anyone give me the co an co2 levels / percentages at different rpm levels?

 

Thanks for reading this any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards Dave

sounds like the symptoms I had - one of my turbos had seized. If one fails then no boost will be created by the other one (well not enough to register). Someone more technically minded will be along very soon but if it is the passenger side turbo then thats the 'easy' one to do - can be replaced with engine in-situ.

Cheers. Will take it off tomorrow and get turbo force to check it

If you do a search on the forum there is the 'rubber glove trick' which involves putting rubber gloves over some pipes, if its seized then that side glove wont blow up (or will - I cant remember lol) :oops:
