finally boosted but.......
hi today i finally finished my B16A turbo today, and i gotta say it is fast as ----!
Had it for approx 25 mins driving time before the disastor happened, a massive cloud of WHITE smoke!
I turned the engine off and rolled home! luckily it was near my house!
My setup is:
450cc blue tops
Apexi VAFC
volvo T3 turbo
inline resistors
3an oil lines
Running 8psi
What the hell happended? im thinking head gasket
also there is oil in the exhaust!
Any help appreciated
Thanks Matt B

Doubt you blew a headgasket that fast?? is the car still smoking right now? greyish smoke can also be oil as well. pop of the downpipe and inspect the exhaust housing before you do anything drastic like take a head off

Re:finally boosted but.......
the car is a 1992 reg and has done 121,000 miles and has never had a head gasket so i am hoping that it is the gasket rather than the sleeves,
im only running a 10 inch downpipe and oil is in it i can see it in the end and it wet to touch!
what could this be to put oil into the downpipe?
Also i did not have the o2 sensor connected up! could this of also contributed?
Also the car is still smoking, but it is white rather than grey.

What does the white smoke smell like? if its doing it at idle I'm sure its blown, is the car "missing" at all?
I was just hoping the exhaust seal on the turbo was leaking, by pulling off the DP you can look at the exhaust wheel and see if its wet.
Sounds like your kinda hosed either way
