Okay I finally got my swap in, picked it up from a pretty legit guy, motor had been sitting for around ~6months, perfect running motor before it was pulled (supposedly)
Ive searched and read quite a bit and still havent found anyone who posted this question and got a direct answer or got it resolved.
A minute or two after a cold startup my car smokes white/blue horribly, its open dp at the minute so its pretty bad with the car sitting still. Has a hint of oil smell to it. While normal driving, the car doesnt smoke at ALL, until it goes back to idle. I have not boosted it more than 2-3lbs because of this issue, didnt want to make things worse so i took it for one quick drive and was very easy on it.
A few things to note:
1. The pcv hose that is normally routed into the intake tube isnt connected, at the time it was just hanging out because I dont have a stock intake tube with the fitting for it. Possible cause?
2. Car has aftermarket S/S braided oil and coolant lines, they looked new so im thinking they werent installed when the motor last ran, so possibly missing the restrictor pill/not small enough?
3. Turbo is an RB25DET NEO T28
4. Absolutely no oil on the intake side of the turbo, or in the i/c piping.
I assume its the turbo, but im waiting to hear back from the prev owner about the oil lines to see if it had a restrictor or not
Any other Comments/suggestions/questions? Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
