Dump Valve spewing out oil

[chowla]

lads my buddies S15 is spewing out oil from the dump valve, and is producing a whitish smoke from the exhaust, any ideas what it could be??
was thinkin it mite be a seal in the turbo leaking it, or could it be the thrust bearing????

anyone wit any ideas they would be well appreciated

my guess would be turbo seals too.

Mate of mine had the same problem on his skyline.

Blown turbo oil seals, good excuse to upgrade the turbo

 

[Dazz0i]

yes, yes indeed!!!!


whilst the turbo is off... manifold too...


whislt the manifold is off, do the headgasket to take the extra umph the turbo will be pushing....

lol


it all starts getting expensive then though!!!

remember all the little bits that add up, like braided turbo hoses, bolts/nuts and gasket kits.

I've currently got half of the parts needed, turbo and headgasket needed to complete my "stock pile"!!!

Very subtle Craig, why are you selling it

 

[craig8585]

didnt want to sell it, but i'm going on a trip around europe at the end of the month in the S15, so this will help fund the trip etc

dont know if this helps but after fitting my dump valve i found there was an oily substance coming out of the ports, nothing like engine oil and no white smoke or performance issues. when i contacted apex they told me that it is the grease thats applied to the piston, inside the valve, thats all
