Gas and oil out the back of large single turbo.
Good morning all,
I currently have a fd rx7 running a borgewarner sxe turbo. However The issue that I’m having is that the car is literally pushing oil and fuel out the hot side of the turbo and sounds as if it is running on only one Rotor and has heavy white smoke.
I have done some investigation but with no luck. I pulled the spark plugs to see if they where fouled and they where not. While I had the plugs out I compression tested with decent number. I have order new spark wire to see if maybe it’s a sparking issue.
I have also also drained all the coolant to insure that the white smoke was not caused by coolant burning. The car has not been running for more then 30 seconds at a time do to this.

I would not drive the car if it’s losing fluids of any kind out the hot side of the turbos.
What are “decent” compression numbers? Were readings taken on ALL faces of BOTH rotors?
If the plugs weren’t fouled it’s not likely to have a “sparking” issue.
Changing coolant will do nothing to eliminate the possibility that a coolant seal has failed.

Anyideas on on where to start on finding the issue?

The car is currently running a brand new adapteonics ecu but just has a base map you can pull from the site.
also the white smoke in new.

"White smoke" usually isn't smoke at all...it's steam. It really sounds like you need another turbo and, probably, a rebuild for a failed coolant seal. Exhaust energy, especially on a rotary, can get hot enough to ignite coolant, let alone gasoline. So I wouldn't consider this a "running project" any longer.
