Hellstrom Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hi! i been searching but i want a few just to take a "look" into my specifik probmlem (sorry for starting yet another thread about this matter) My car is fresh rebuild,Engine changed bearings/rings/fastners/honed etc. Cylinder head has been rebuilt aswell same valves/guides but messured and ok accordinly to TSRM. symptoms. Cold engine startup big puff of blue smoke thins out after about 20-40sec Blue smoke on deacceleration (no blue smoke acceleration on boost) Intercooler pipes checked for oil but no more then a thin layer. iam not saying what iam thinking myself just want your opinions on this.

Gaz6002 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Turbo seals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellstrom Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 If turbo seals would it not leak more when the oil is warmed up (thinner) then cold and thick? And not be depending on accelerating or deaccelerating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Mine chucked out clouds of smoke when I let off and at idle when the turbo seals went, but you're right. The oil should be thin (warm). Sounds like a VSS issue to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellstrom Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) Well thats what i thought. Ill see what Chris Wilson says he was the one supplying the "OEM" seals a picture on the seal i got from CW. so could i get some reasoneble advice on how to go forward this? ill talk to whiffin to see if he is able to supply me with oem vss and ill see if i get them before the weekend and hopefully change them. then i will know for sure. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?265583-Engine-seals-CHEAP-CHEAP-When-they-re-gone-they-re-gone!! this is the original thread from where i bought the seals.

Iky Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Is it just the colour difference or is that a different size? Are they not different for exhaust and intake side? I highly doubt Chris W. would sell you a non genuine seal as a genuine one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I think standard vs seals are differant colours for the inlet and exhaust but not differant sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
