oki now the car was smoking on the right side badly and the car was running with out missing a beat beautifull and ive checked compression it was good both side reading the same cant remember it few days back now today i got the turbo out the exhaust manifold also has oil in it :S right hand side...

turbo oil seal gone , time for a rebuild or new

oki i got another turbo but im curiouse about why is there oil in the manifold aswell when the turbo runs after the manifold :S ??

btw doing the turbo on this zx aint as big job as people say :S ... if you have the special tools to do it

Was there a question there somewhere lol

 

Thought this was the idea, you knew this turbo was knackered like your last one and you were changing it yourself for the new one that came with the car?

lol smithy that was on my old zx i didnt mention i bought another one that was smokey and i bought that car beeing told that it has recon turbos both side

take out your spark plugs they will be oily too

Geez you really need to start these cars up and drive them before buying fella so you know if they smoke or not. Have fun anyways

the plugs are dry no oil what so ever if the plugs was oily the car would be running lumpy but this is running sweet just the smoke on the right which i assume its the turbo but if its the turbo i wouldnt of expected there to be oil in the manifold or am i wrong :S ???

 

@smith yeah thats the one
