Ok the engine is amazing and full of power but just after one day it started puffing white moisty whispy smoke. Im really hoping it's not the turbos and hopefully an u2 sensor or something cheapy like that. Have you guys had this problem before? Please help me out!!!! ( :
1jz from a jza70 puffing white smoke after day 1 ):

U2? you mean o2? ANd no those dont puff white smoke.
oil lose? How much boost? Does it smoke all the time or only in boost or only letting off?

Lol Yeah 02 sensor. Well it just does is randomly. Like when ill drive and stop and let it idle for about a few minutes it sometimes throw a puff of smoke and it'll be really moist and smell some what like normal exhaust fumes. But it'll run real fine. Could it be a sensor? Oh and my boost gauge wasn't connected right so I have to get that fixed so I won't know if I'm boosting right or not. Oh and I don't have my canister filter connected to the throttle body, I have it capped.
The canister filter on the mk3, I think it's for the fuel fumes??? Idk lol. But yeah it might be, but sometimes I won't have any and sometimes I just get random puffs. Could it be because of my hollow catalytic converter!?? Lol. Whoops!
No not normal and not from any of that. Its either oil or coolant burning. So are you losing either of that?
I'll check tomorrow, I think it's water since it's real moist. Someone told me to change the pcv valve. When we checked the oils there was barely any oil on them. Also when im on high rpm I get a howling sound which I think is coming from my turbos. Is there anyway to replace the seals like on the ct 26 or will I need some new turbos?? ):
Howling is turbo death whine possibly. Once the 1j turbos go thats it. That also could be the source of the smoke.
Take the pcv valve out and shake it. IF you hear something shaking around its fine. IF you hear nothing replace it with a 2jz one.

Well for some weird reason I can't hear the blow off valve go off, maybe some kind of vacuum? Is there a way I can check the turbos for any possible leak?
Stock bov? You prolly wont hear it.
Ya pull the intake pipes off and check for play and see if there is oil coming out and same for the exhaust. Kinda should have checked the condition of them before the engine goes in as there a pain to do when the engine is in the car.

I did, there was no play at all. I did see some oil but not Enough to be worried about. Oh ok, I thought it was like the 7ms. So is there anyway to fix this? Without getting a new set?
The only way is to buy another set of twins. In that time, you could save up and get a single kit.
Cant say. Depends how much you boost them and at how much psi and how bad they are. That is if they really are bad.

I believe you need a vented gas cap to vent pressure in the tank if you cap that off . I don't know if thats causing your problems but thought i'd throw it out there.
Oh well then I'll stay on stock and not floor it. Maybe it's cuz of my 3in y pipe and DP??hvyman;1719160 said:

Me try and get some vacuum hose today and connect it and see of that'll help. Maybe excessive vacuum causes it to spool sooner and faster?
Blown turbo seals wont blow white smoke. It will be dark blue almost black. When mine blew it was also smoked constantly. Pull off your intercooler piping and look for oil. Keep an eye on your fluid levels and see if your losing any.
when the turbo seal on my 200sx went, i left a blue smoke screnn that would make James bond proud. once its gone you are now "oil injected" at boost,
Yeah guys I ended fixing an exhaust leak that I had right on the y pipe and magically all the smoke went away, go figure. Oh and I never had no oil leaks or nothing, was wondering if it was the amsoil that I was using. Thanks a lot though!
