Ok well I got the last few things on.. checked my fluids etc and of course nothing can go off perfectly..

We pulled the fuel pump fuse cranked the engine to build oil pressure and 3 seconds into it the upper fuel rail sprung a leak... found out the banjo bolt was loose..

so we realised there was a leak and that we had the wrong fuse pulled... so we cleaned the engine off with water and tried again this time on purpose with the pump on to see if any other leaks happen

What do u know crank a few seconds and bam the lower rail leaks..

I tighten that bolt and pull both the fuses and crank till oil pressure comes up.. once that works we put the fuses in and crank 2 it took like 2 seconds and the car started and ran just fine...

we had it die because the throttle adjustment was not set right...

we turn the adjuster screw in so it will idle on its own and it fires right back up...

I let it run for about 45 minutes or so and it just smoked and smoked and smoked...

it still smokes if I start it.. Not sure how long it will smoke for but I know with the crisco, gear lube and engine oil used during the engine build process I figured it would smoke for a while..

after a while I turned the ca and found the low oil level light was on.. so I check the oil and it is fine... a little later it hit me.. I may have grabbed the n/a dipstick instead of the turbo dipstick... sure did so after adding another 2 liters it is just under full

The next thing I noticed was I had lots of bubbling in the cooling system so after that cooled down I pulled the bleed valve on the side of the radiator neck (again) and refilled the cooling system.. this time I am confident that it could be all done up..

now the biggest problem.. the batter wont hold a charge and it really is to big now with the ic pipes run ..

tomorrow I will get another battery, get it started back up and let it run for a while longer..

hopefully the smoke will go away...

Anyways I got 2 short videos.. NO SOUND SORRY.. but u can see the horrific amount of smoke...

as for the smoke shooting from the turbo in the engine bay well the downpipe was only held on by one nut, and I did not have a gasket on it because i only had one nut holding it on.. so one that is all tightned down I should be all set there..

all that smoke reminds me of the time i did the water treatment for carbon. it wil;l prolly smoke for quite awhile atleast acouple hours

SpooledupRacing

ok so that much smoke is normal for a while.. I had the car running for atleast 45 minutes and it was still smoking

Normal rebuild smoke stops after about 10mins.

Dave,
If you lost two liters of oil out of the pan then we have a problem.

SpooledupRacing

no I did not loose 2 liters of oil.. I under filled it by 2 liters of oil....

I had lost NO oil.. because the oil was in the same spot it was from before to after filling it..

nice man congrats! im happy u got it started and running. great feeling huh?

SpooledupRacing

yes sir it sure it.. now if I could only get to the root of the smoking and try and figure out why it is still smoking after 45 minutes...

How much did you end up putting in?

SpooledupRacing

it will end up with 6.5 liters...

gotta remember (which I forgot) I got oil into turbo and oil into the lines and the cooler ran dry or close to it I bet from being disconnected

Stanello

iTrader: (1)

That's a lot of oil...

SpooledupRacing

thes cars normally take I think 5.5-6qts when u do an oil change...

not to mention that I had to fill the turbo, the lines, the oil cooler etc...

SpooledupRacing

A link in the FAQ states 6.2 qts for fillup...

so the fact that I will have 6.5 litres in the car is not bad since I had to fill the cooler and the lines and turbo

"6) Be prepared for smoke…there is assembly lube in the engine, which will be burned out in the form of smoke. Expect this to get into your exhaust and smoke can remain for up to 8 hours afterwards until it is all burned out slowly."

SpooledupRacing

thank you sir... thats good to know.. I only had it running for about 45 minutes.. this makes me feel alot better..

I will be going for a drive later

vids of the drive....

SpooledupRacing

I will get vids of it.. hopefully I can get somone who has a sound camera to come with...

I will see what I can muster up

SpooledupRacing

Well I have an external oil leak at the turbo, and it is still smoking now onto hour 3 of the break in.. blue smoke and lots of it...

The intercooler piping is dry, but I have oil just dripping out of the bottom of the turbo somewhere.. I cant figure out where...

all the lines are tight... I just don't know..

I think tomorrow I will pull the turbo off and recheck the mating surfaces of the turbo.. tighten it back down, check all of the oil drain bolts and make sure they are tight... make sure the oil drain tube is god and tight.. and go form there...

THIS SUX...

I have about 20 miles on the motor it runs very well, pulls very good, but cant be driven yet, not with the smoke and the leaking oil...

hows the pedal feel with the clutch? hows it rev with the flywheel?

SpooledupRacing

The clutch is SUPER easy to drive.. the flywheel does not hinder decel or momentum.. I love the feel and the engine builds rpms very quick..

dont feel bad i cant even get my swap to start
