Been there done that...turbo seals.
But tell us a bit more about the white smoke.
Does it appear about 20sec after idling?
When you drive? In boost? In lag?
Does it smell like burning oil?
:?: :?: :?:
I can confirm the smoking during idling. Don't notice during boost or lag, but would this problem create (more) lag?
Great that means your turbo seals are cooked.
Look at a nice expensive recon or just go get yourself a nice t28.
I don't think it will have more lag...(as far as I can remember on my car...Ask VC or Gary's opinion on that) But driving with a smoke machine is not fun!

ReeceZ, I sugest taking your sx to gary's place. He will tell you exactly what is wrong. pm me if you want his number.

take it to gary!
swak dont say that murphy is always with us
murphy can kiss my lillywhite ass!!!! that muthabiatch!
i say the same
Bwahahahaha
Thankfully, I don't get smoked out all the time, so I'm thinking that whatever's is wrong, is on its way out. Speed Shop is selling the T3/T28 (Mr Turbo turbo) for R3800, but I don't like the idea of all those spacers to bolt it on onto the standard manifold. any ideas on the price to recon the turbo if it is the seals?
Dude....Hope your smoking problem isn't serious...
Considering it started recently, I'm sure it shouldn't be too difficult to quit 😂
On a serious note tho, don't cut corners....Recon the turbo with sum1 reputable or else, you'll revisit the turbo seals in a few months again. 😉
I gotta say.. it.... My Sx is probaly the most reliable on the forum....
how do you guys blow turbos and shit???? 😮 ......
Sorry reeze 😢 .....i know it sucks , but sometimes after just a few problems you have months of pleasure
My Sx is probaly the most reliable on the forum....
Not considering selling? 🙄
Sorry bud sold to a mate of garys.... But you can by my M3 if you like...
Id rather keep my Sx... its fast and reliable... CA18 rules
LOL...
no thanks dude.
I'm over M3's....now i want TURBO 😉
I gotta say.. it.... My Sx is probaly the most reliable on the forum....
Sorry come again...
Yeah, I'm going to recon it, think the name of the place is Turbo Exchange. Control arm is getting fitted today, yay. I think I know how i almost killed my turbo... My turbo-charged right foot 😈
Nah that doesn't kill turbo's, its age, and wrong setups!
I really wanted to do an engine swap at the end of the year, but it looks like I'm goin to have give the CA some attention first.
Looking at the following.
Mr Turbo turbo (T28/T3) + new manifold + new exhaust gasket. Waiting on 200SXSilviaSavage to tell me how it runs.
Walbro fuel pump
DE cam (please sell me one... somebody... anybody 😂 )
Dicktator
New IC piping
ACT 4 puk clutch
Anything missing 😕
Yes a RB26DETT
dont spend cash on the cam if you going to do an engine swap in 3 months
I second that.
Rather save and drive a crappy motor now for a few months and have awesome reliable parts in you next motor!
CA is not crappy
YOU TAKE THAT BACK
