    Default smoke

    i have a 90 240 sr20det. the motor has 36000 . under load, when the turbo spools good it smokes bad.deep black smoke. but since the motor has such lil miles it would of have been fucked every day for the valve stem seals or piston rings to be bad right? im hoping it is the turbo crapping out. i have a t28 ball bearing, not the t25 on the stock sr.

    ??????????????????????

    black smoke=fuel. could be tons of different issues ranging from a boost leak to a bad ECU.

    can you drive the car all the way through the revs as long as you don't go into boost? does it sputter/cough when the car goes into boost? are there certain times it does it over others like does it start to get crappy at a certain level of boost or rev's? any aftermarket tuning electronics on the car?

    doesnt boost strongly. no electronics cept fo turbo timer. dark smoke. i thought dark smoke was oil, not fuel.? when i am at low rpms it drives fine. it doesnt drive bad when boosting, just alot of smoke.

    well, if it was spittin out oil or smoke that was oil, then you would have a blown head gasket....more then likely you just need it tuned good.

    um, dont quote me on this but i think either Batlground or mainstream do great tuning for like 60 bucks-100 bucks an hour, well worth it tho, just send a message to vteckidd or tracy, they'll hook you up.

    well honestly, it shouldn't...its all depending on how many dyno pulls you do too, i believe they dyno then tune then dyno again....you can tell them you want 1 hour of tunning and dyno'n and they will keep it at that.

    more than likely its ur turbo dooe. They crap out all the time. If u want to u can take off ur inlet pipe to ur turbo and look for oil. Its smoking out the exhaust but u can ususally see oil in the compressor housing if the seal are leaking.

    i hope its the turbo, it wont be too expensive, ill have to get a shop or eebay to hook me up with a gt28rs or somethin.its too hard to tell the underside of the motor is in oil due to a recent valve cover gasket problem.

    So you are running stock sr ecu?

    Stock 370s?

    a t28?

    Your motor is probably popped. You should get an rb20.

    Get an AFC and get a tune.

    It'd be doing yourself a huge favor...

    There is nothing wrong with running rich. I do it. But only because I have way to big of injectors. However the tune I got at BATLGROUND was one of the best tunes on an SR ever.

    So get an AFC go to Batlground have Dan tune your sr car.
