So tonight i was braking boosting at 40mph to race a madza speed3 big turbo. And i had a major loss of power and was smoking real bad. turned off car coasted to a stop. There is no knocking no clicking the motor is running ruff. i pulled off the top charge pipe to take a quick look in there is oil on the edges of the inside and where the bpv is. Check engine light is on. just posting some info i will post more tomorrow once i dig into it alot more didnt have any other tools on me to go further into it.

 

thats the picture of the turbo with the oil i have seen in it tonight. like i said im going to dig into it more tomorrow. if you have any suggestions or ideas please share.

 

Check code and report back, could be a bad turbo...could be fried piston rings or anything in between.

 

Yea that's what happened to me too. Fried piston rings

 

Bet it's cyl #4. It's always ******* Cyl #4.

 

oil in the charge pipe is normal. I sure I have a pool in their myself. Probably piston ring or turbo.

 

https://www.facebook.com/david.r.burks/videos/10209058575595434/Thats a video of the smoking. I ran the codes today too. i have Code P0304, p2096, p2195.
im about to check the turbo for wheel movement and run a compression test.

 

Yep cyl #4, ALRIGHT GIMME YA'LL BETS.

 

Its cylinder 4 i believe. Its the far driver side cylinder has no compression! and the spark plug it destroyed! pictures coming soon!

 

yep. RIP cylinder 4

 

spark plug from cylinder 4. more photos will be coming once i pull the motor. most likely doing an ldk 71 full e build. wanting around 450whp. depending on some stuff might build the block too but not sure yet.

 

that sucks dude. I've been there

 

Sorry about the time it took for me to get more info up but I just moved and been really busy. But I got the motor out and but to tear it apart soon.

 

Ldk in the house! Black Friday deals!

 

So was looking up but couldn't find a 100% answer. But since I bought an ldk If I want to run e85 all I need is the injectors right? I won't need the fuel lube.

 

You will have to tune the ramp for it. I'm thinking that in the lower rpms with high fuel demand while spooling the turbo, it will have to come on gradually for the fuel demand. Higher rpms should be fine since the pump is driven off the cam, it's the lower rpms under wot that it struggles.

 

But I'm not a tuner, just what I've gathered.

 

She is on the stand. I know I'm super slow at getting this all going. But I'm currently looking for a zfr 71 now to go with the ldk.
