Hi there guys,

I bought my Z few months ago used with a Tnetics kit.
freaked out cuz the price was so cheep and shamefully done that deal.

now I having issues with that turbo kit. I have replaced the exhaust with agency power exhaust few weeks ago.
now the car smokes really bad when the turbo engages. I tried to look for any leeks.
haven't seen one yet since I just installed my stillen oil pan.
could any one help me with that ???

 

dude you dum?? you totally changed up the tune for what ever exhaust you had on that Z. It is way easier to change exhaust on a na z than it is on a turbo Z. Ugh, nubs with turbos already on the car!

 

so it's nothing like a cracked piston or cosmic this like an oil feed line or something like that ???

 

lol

 

Yeah u have the right to "lol" . I would rather sell this piece of crap and buy a useful car like sion tc or cheep crapy car like that.
Anyway if the problem was with the turbo seals or feed/return line I might through this turbo kit from the 14 floor where my friend lives.
I might get a custom turbo kit and a good engine build. Trying to bush the max daily driven limits.

 

You really sound more like a Scoin type of dude, or better yet a Acura RSX. Those cars are way faster then 350z's anyway.

 

are you in the Fayetteville, NC area? I saw a white roadster yesterday on yadkin rd, smokin everytime they let off.

 

 

^^

And what do leeks have to do with your Z?

 

+100 and fixed

OP, we speak english in this part of the forum... and we use spell check as well.

Do you have any idea where your A/F ratios are under boost? Any signs of oil under the car or smeared along the downpipe to the exhaust? It seems possible (likely) that the person selling the kit knew it had a bad seal and sold it cheap as a result.

You should stay out of boost until you determine if this is a turbo issue or an engine issue as you may be causing more damage if you continue boosting.

 

im gonna say its the dreaded t-netics turbo gone bad once again..time for a rebuild on the turbo or a new one..

 

I think u should check out ur downpipe clamp cuz I had the same problem with the same turbo kit!!! if the clamp is good then its time to change ur turbo

 

Needs new muffler bearings, that's all.

 

I have seen enough of engine damage yet I payed more then what I can afford. That's why I say. **** like that.

I will get it chicked tomorrow hopefully it's not the turbo. As if it is I might not c the z till next summer. New turbo ems and engine build.
Let's just see.

No offense but from e46 to 350z is ok. But from 350z to scion or Acura is a down grade since those cars are cheep ****.
350z was my dream since It was in dealerships few years ago. I wouldn't sell it even if it caused me an arm or a leg.

That's the hard part about modding a car. They break once u r out of green bills.

 

Seems like turbo seals to me.

OP, where are you located, I know there was a Black Z with Turbonetics kit on it for sale local to me a few months ago, just wondering if it's the same car.

 

Let's hope it's the seal or down pipe clamp issue.
I'm located in northern va, fairfax. I have an orange z
C/f hatch, c/f doors, and c/f hood. Fairly know lol cops knows me very will.

 

Yea, cops usually keep their eyes on lil ricer kids

 

lol no wonder I got 4 tickets in a single stop and one just after the court.
I just check the z there is an oil leak in the turbo it self so hopefully I don't have to change the turbo cuz I'm not planning to invest any more money on this kit.
I might go with something BIGGER based on the POWERLAB platform.

anyone of u guysknow the cost of the labor/part. even an estimate will help.
