true true
Now that you described it. It sounds like it's the turbo.
But a compression test can't hurt.

Re:finally boosted but.......
 

BOOYAH, I'm not even boosted... just remove your turbo and start up the car, if oil pour out of your turbo and there is no smoke coming from the exhaust then you've got the answer.

Re:finally boosted but.......
 

sounds like the turbo seals are going out. all that oil from the turbo must be a bad exhaust seal or something...

Re:finally boosted but.......
 

what would be good compression test numbers? its a B16A2

i'm now hoping that it is the turbo, but how come it wasnt smoking for the first 25 mins? can it go all of a sudden like that?

thanks guys you really do help lots.

Re:finally boosted but.......
 

A healthy B16 should be putting out around (220psi) or (15.5 bar) across all four cylinders.

Maximum difference between any 2 cylinders is around 30psi or (2.0 bar) but this sort of a difference would be a worry on a boosted B16.

let us know the results when you get them in :).

Re:finally boosted but.......
 

Are you sure you're not smelling antifreeze?

Also, what's your oil/feed setup look like, im hoping that the feed is at the top and the return is on the bottom.

How'd the car run/idle when you saw the puff of smoke?

Re:finally boosted but.......
 

After you put the turbo on, did you make sure to charge it with oil? This might be the culprit, or could be a bad rebuild. :-\

Re:finally boosted but.......
 

i have a b16a2 and it smokes all the time, but my smoke is blue, i took apart my turbo and the seals are almost gone, i dont feel like rebuilding it so now a cloud of smoke comes out after every shift...good stuff. ;)

Re:finally boosted but.......
 

bad seals in turbo-same ---- happened to me from same turbo from junk

Re:finally boosted but.......
 

the oil feed is at the top, the return is at the bottom.

the car ran and idoled perfectly for 25 minutes, even though there is lots of white smoke still coming out of the car, it still idols and revs perfect.

i changed the oil and filter before being boosted.
