So it was just the remaining oil in the piping since the new turbo was swapped in ?

 

If I can interject---Nothing is "For Sure " yet, a couple weeks of clear weather and driving, boost and non boost will tell more.

 

yeah, what he said ^^^^ Mr. Mechanic(the guy that works on cars) . Im just the driver

 

Congrats. Looks like you got it fixed.

 

As the one that is doing the work on this car, I repeat, nothing is for sure yet. It will take a couple of weeks of driving before we know for a fact the the problem has been solved or not. If it appears it has, then additional CC evacuation proceedures will be done. Also, Compression and Leakdown tests have yet to be done.

 

Glad to see it looking good so far. Sorry I didn't get a chance to reach you this weekend. Things have been hectic around here getting the truck I was working on ready for some upcoming events. So I take it a catch can has been helping with the issue? Just curious of the PCV has been changed out yet. I seem to always forget that newer cars still need this and actually just had to swap the one out in my Titan as it was about toast.

 

No worrys on this weekend, figured you were tied up. I will touch base this week, we are not counting our chickens till they're hatched. Had a couple ideas on evacuation Mods I wanted to discuss mainly, above and beyond the norm. Things are really just roughed in right now. No sense in dumping money in dead ends, but all is funtional and if works, can be improved upon on the final clean up.

Its not over til the fat lady sings

 

Pictures of meh Turbo oil leaking out the back side bra. Focus aint the greatest I can try better pic's if needed.

 

Looks familiar

 

Any updates??

 

Ask eazzzzzzy. He has my car held hostage

The only current news I have is that the spark plugs were pulled and look great and he did a leakdown and compression check. Here is what he posted https://my350z.com/forum/forced-induction/273182-leak-down-test-question.html

 

Actually, not doing LD till wed. But the hostage is in good hands ---wont be neccessary to send a cut off rear view mirror in the mail

 

 

Add another one to the list

i had the same white smoke. I fixed mine by replacing my oil drain line from the turbo with a Stainless one and using a 90 in the middle of it to prevent kinking, and lead the line to the block.

 

On Solidsnakes, I installed a 45 comeing out of the block (dump line) and used Aeroquip Blue 5/8 in place of the supplied line---Very smooth transition

There were several mods done after reinstall that are 100% functional yet not dialed in. Main concern was to see the outcome of the overall before spending $$$$ on the final cosmetic details.

 

Nice! Any new updates?

 

Not yet. Still taking it one step at a time.

 

well im a bit late but how much oil are you catching in teh catch can? you might be dumping too much oil in the turbo how is the turbo spool? and how did you get the oil in the intercooler and pipes? you might want ot check your exhaust for oil as well.

 

To tell you my small story, I have the same problem.

Since Oct 06, the car is smoking at every shift under boost.. it never smoke at idle or just crusing.

Now the oil is spilling from the BOV, it is also full of oil in the pipe and at the bottom in the intercooler..

I am using the best best TOP #1 mecanics in eastern Canada, he knows VQ35 like his pocket.. I trust him when he say something.

Right now we purchased 7k of parts to rebuilt the engine, rings were deads and we wanted to forged internals with parts from Sharif ( big thanks to Forged Performance by the way ). First we tought that only the ring were making that oil burning .. see the pic



But we did out brake in for the new forged engine saturday, and at the first press of boost, the white smoke came back.. Now we realized it the turbo.. It look the back pressure that goes on the flap on the turbo when the pressure is rising in the downpipe is making the oil to comes out.. Cant understand the internal problems but I know it's because of the turbo.

We dont use any pan spacer, the return oil line is perfect and no kink. We have a real greddy catch can.. there is oil leaking inside the pipe, in the BOV, everywhere... There is no other thing that could make smokes like that..

I will make a video tomorow and show people on the street what it look likes, maybe with that, TN will give the approval for a mass return under warranty or not. Its not a warranty issue but a defective product and this can be claimed at any time under US and Canadian Laws as soon as they admit the problems. Im not bashing TN, they had given support when needed, shipping a AC hoses in 1 day express, Thank you Reggie.

But right now we have forged internals ( arias, eagle rods, etc ), we got 650cc, a CJ return fuel system, we have ordered the GTK-550 and I seriously hope that thoses turbo wont have that problem, otherwize I will personally take the plane for canada and put the turbo on the boss's desk with a liter of oil inside and make a mess in the office.

But right now im calm, I simply boost and lift the pedal smoothly and this way smokes doenst comes.. its VERY annoying and no way to have fun at all without appearing to be a stupid guy that runs a ruined cars and polute the air.

I will post the video tomorow night, in the meantime, I will go to the army supply shop and buy a gaz mask.
