Sr20det Question

[youngbrazee1]

So I finally got my car to run after 3 months and my questions is does the exhaust manifold/turbo supposed to smell a certain way when running? My car was smoking(under the turbo) and overheating a bit, but then i put coolant/water in the radiator(fixed it). But yeah it has a sizzling sound also.

did it smell like burning coolant? Sr20 turbos are cooled both with oil and coolant. if there is a leak out or a coolant hose it will smoke and smell funny. or if you've replaced gaskets, it could be burning gaskets. which will go away.
