just a quick one really been trying to work it out and trying diffent things but no luck yet. ill give you the basic story, my old engine let go at about 90,000 so saved up and done the engine swap with some turbos from a friend that had no play in the spindles at all, one was a little tighter then the other tho(near side). finaly got it running at the start of the week on the ramp all run up fine no smoke no rattles, changed the oil and filter after i ran it up just to be sure. then iv taken it to get moted all was fine till i got there about 8miles away and it started to smoke quite alot on idle (white smoke),after it was left to go cold it was moted and was fine no smoke but now as soon as it gets to running temp it starts to smoke from the near side, iv checked the pcv valves and there was alittle oil on them but i cleaned them out and replaced one pipe that had cracked still smoking on idle and under boost aswell but not as much, it still boost fine and drives fine and its not used any oil, could this be turbo oil seals i really dont want it to be but i guess its all that could be left really, sorry for the long one guys im just a bit stuck thanks

White smoke is normally caused by moisture in the system, I'm not sure but it sounds like a head gasket problem. PCV and turbos smoke is blue and smells of oil.

its white with a hint of blue it dose smell of burning oil. theres no loss in oil pressure and im using an after market oil pressure gauge, and its still boosting fine, were abouts in cambridgshire are you steams?

pcv valves take 500 miles to clear the smoke and i belive you can get condestion smoke if its been parked up for a while also how did the other engine blow? would it of chucked a load of oil iton the exhaust?

not too sure what happend with the old engine there was too much damage to tell piston rod block heads and both turbos were all damaged so i binned the lot. theres also no h bar in my exhaust system. it seems more then just oil in the back box tbh.

Not sure then mate. I'm in Huntingdon.

nor am i really, i think its going to be turbo seals but i really dont want it to be. i dont really know what turbos to replace it with, mabye a job for zedworld but how much is it going to cost for new turbos

I bet it's oil in the exhaust,will take a while to burn off, will only smoke when hot so sounds like your prob.Hope so for your sake!

A tea spoon of oil in the tubs can ploom out white-ish blue smoke at full chat.

 

It's a combination of the oil and moisture in the zorst burning off.

how long would it take to burn off? its just that as soon as you slow down or have to come to a stop when your driving it just starts smoking heavly again and i dont really wonna do any damage if it is the turbos

shameless self bump, and dose anyone know how much jeff/zedworld charge to change turbos and whats include or what else is needed?

It's on their website. £1500 plus VAT for new turbos and £1110 plus VAT for reconditioned turbos.
