So I went to move my car about 4 hours ago. It was all well during startup, At least to my knowledge. It was when I went to drive I noticed all the smoke coming from my exhaust and from under the hood. I guess I didn’t tighten on of the down pipe bolts all the way . But I’ve been have a smoking problem for a while when I’m out just cruising around. But its only been a little bit of smoke. Today it was rushing everywhere. I don’t think the fact that I have 98000 mile on the stock motor helps . I knew this would happen but didn’t think it would happen so soon. Well I’m saving up for a rebuild kit right and the other parts right now. But that’s the least of my problems. I don’t have anywhere to work on the car. And I can’t afford to pay some1 7 grand to fix it for me. I figure ill just turn it into a learning experience. I was wondering if there was any1 or if any of you knew some one who has room in a garage/shop to let me rebuild the motor. I could pay a fee but not sure how much yet. Depends on the cost of parts. Well thanks every1 for your time.

 

might be the turbos..is it stock? that or it might be the oil control rings in your motor..its hard to tell....if theres a oil like substance in your intake tubing the turbos might be spitting oil..by the way im guessing its an fd? cause the pic..

:AA:

 

That kind of mileage on the stock FD engine is getting to the rebuild point...

 

yeah.. i thionk i have a idea of what it is.. cause after like getting over the shock.. lol.. i remember the smoke was white and it had that sweet smell to it.. like coolant.. and since it was gushing out of the exhaust i figure it is my coolant seals maybe.. i wont know till i take it apart.. rotorsportsracing sells a rebuild kit for 12 and some change.. other than the rebuilt kit what else do i need to get??? im sure the turbos work fine though.. and how much would i be looking at for the rebuild all together...

that depends on what condition your rotor housings are in, if there useable then good but if not, then get new ones OR buy some that are in good useable condition..id get all new apex seals and springs those little black plugs and new corner springs, side seal springs and last new oil rings inner and outer..it also depends on your budget..and what your willing to spend..cause you can cut corners but only so much and on the small stuff..do some homework before you drive yourself crazy along the way..
