Black_Supra Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Hey guys, i got this problem since a longer time and i think i know what it is but i want to ask you guys. After idling for a while i get puff puff blue smoke out of the exhaust ... a cloud that smells like burned oil ... my oil consumption is to high, >1 Litre for 1000 Kilometers. The first turbo spools louder then the year before, i think its done right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 If youre getting smoke at idle after a while when its hot then thats classic turbo oil seal, the noisy bearings are another sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you would do? Replace the turbos or live with it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodilx6 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 If its smoking while idleing its turbo seal. If you see the blue puff when dapping the accelerator its Valve Stem Seals. Turbo seals = Turbo rebuild, VSV = time consuming engine work. Lots of info on both here on forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Turbo oil seals. You could live with it but it wont get any better... Only option is rebuild or replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Supra Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 i read a little bit and talked with some people and its definately the Valve Stem Seals! ... I think i have to switch them in the following Winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodilx6 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Does it smoke when you start it up? Blue smoke at startup defo VSS. If it is only when dapping it could be turbo seals as Swampy says, but then it should also smoke on boost while driving, but that can be hard to see. Get someone to drive behind you and check for blue smoke (not black, thats just fueling) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black_Supra Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 Now i think its my turbo, ive seen a "how to replace turbos" thread but i cant find, does anyone know where i can find it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Sounds like turbo to me. Toyota have put the price up to well over £1200 each plus VAT, and they are now EXCHANGE! Fit rebuilt ones at your peril, I won't touch them nowadays, had some real hassle. Plus finding uncracked exchange cores is a nightmare.

Black_Supra Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 1200 + VAT * 2 .... wow, wtf, i can go for single these winter or find a pair of "good used" twins ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I'd get them rebuilt or turned into Hybrids. Best way to confirm is get someone behind you with decent headlights & then hit boost. Blue trailing smoke is turbo seals I am afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
