Hello all. I'm getting a bit of blue smoke after the car has been ticking over for a short time. But I only get it wen I just tap the loud peddle don't get nothing wen the car is revving hard? Thanks nath
 
im with chris on that one, how many miles has it done?? if its done shed loads 150k + and only does it when cold you may be looking at valve stem seals or piston rings but from what you said above turbo.
 
If it's only when it's cold I would not worry all that much can just be left over crap in exhuast condensation combo you would know if it was turbo or oil seals I have a nice clip of blown turbo oil seals :)

Thats what I thought well it's only done 82k. But it only does is wen it's up to temp. Is it a big job to do the seals ?
 
What is the different between a ko3s setup and a hybrid setup ?what will I have to Chang to go hybrid. ( what power do you get from a hybrid )

hybrid is changing the internals as far as i know
well cr turbos said the won i got is good for 280 bhp but amd reckon they are good for a bit more mine proves that as it was dynoed at 286 bhp lol 1.5 bar boost. if i was you i would get a hybrid and it means that you have the capiblity to have more power if you want it
 
more power ;) you will also need 225 injectors and 3" maf. custom remap, uprated clutch.
then things like fmic, turbo back exhaust and downpipe you should have already or be planning to get. should see around 260-270 bhp :D

My car has got a vr6 clutch with a g60 fw, got a forge fmic, got a blue flame turbo back. What is a downpipe? Is it the pipe going to the inlet from the intercooler (is the engine and gearbox safe at that power and torque) mine is at 291bl feet as it is how much moor am I looking at with a hybrid setup ?
 
is it even your turbo im thinking you might be getting ahead of yourself here as for cr turbos being the best! hummm they make mistakes like anyone else.
how much play is in your turbo unit is it flopping about all over the place?
would hate to see you go hybrid and find out you bottom ends gone.
only saying this becuase i have been thier little blue smoke and it was a big problem. read my readers ride...

Mmmm I'm not liking the sound of that lol haw was getting the smoke? Cold hot all the time ?
 
If I remember right it was only when warmed up not on boost but on down shift.
All I'm saying is get ur turbo checked by some who knows how much play they should have.
If it is your turbo then yer look at hybrids and all that. but it could be a different underlieing problem.
Like me got a new turbo made no different so engine was out.

So did you get it wen you were driving then ?
 
Yes but when it smokes means nothings really does it. could be turbo, stem seals, warn piston rings, headgasket.
Check turbo do a compression test and come back :)
