Burning oil like mad. Pls Help
Hey guys, big problems today. Before I start i'll rattle off my mod list.
I run about 13psi on 94 octane
pettit ecu upgrade
large m2 i/c
electric i/c fan
crane ignition with new wires
street port
3mm apex seals
60,000 km on car
R34 skyline fuel pump
tial blow offs
twin k&n filters
hks sequential boost controller
blitz turbo timer
greddy down pipe and full exhaust (no cat)
lightweight battery
lightweight pulley kit
stainless ic piping, greddy elbow to throttle body
silicon vacuum hose upgrade
kaaz 4.33 lsd
b&m shift kit
eibach springs
nitto 555R 255's in the rear
Anyway here it goes, went out for a spin, it was about 9am, super cold here in Alberta, almost winter. Probably 5 degress Celsius outside. I was hitting high 13 psi for boost. Car was getting big power, breaking loose more than usual, combo of hp and cool roads I guess. Drove around for around an hour, hot the highway for a bit on the way home. About 5 min from home i notice huge gobs of smoke, i can smell it its oil. I stopped at a light, the smoke was retarded, I got out to look to make sure their was no flames, it was cool so i waited for a green, drove a fews blocks and pulled over. The car idled fine, still had good throttle response didnt see anything leaking, temps were good, a/f mixtures were good. I drove home cause it was close and kept it in the forst turbo, maybe took it up to 4000 rpm at one point, engine sounded fine. More smoke seemed to pour out right after I let off the throttle, like at the light. Parked the car at home, popped the hood, put my fan on the engine, turned the car off. I started it about an hour later, it seemed to run fine, but still alot of smoke. I figure its a turbo seal letting oil into the exhaust, I don't know. I figured it wasnt the motor, i run 94 octane fuel it was freezing outside and i run fairly moderate boost, usually 12.5 psi. Pls help.

I had the same problem on the way home from SSX yesturday. Engine runs amazing. But crazy amounts of smoke. Its not so bad when driving but when let off the gas then press it again crazy smoke. And when I am at a stop mass amounts too. I know its oil because its blue and smells like oil. There was so much my exhaust tip was wet. Im thinking turbos or pressurized oil. But it seems like too much oil from turbos and it doesnt smoke so much with a bit of boost and I run a oil catch tank. Im at a loss.

The car has an original 60,000 km, same with the turbos, they are stock. I figured maybe a seal on the exhaust side of one of the turbos spilling into the exhaust itself, i havent checked the plugs yet, I just hop it isnt the motor, is their anyway for me to difinitively tell if it is the turbos or the motor.
