Boosted Performance single turbo build

Cell · 07-30-2014, 03:46 PM

So, I had a defective braided oil line. It literally blew in the middle of one of the lines and was leaking oil. I could not figure out what could of caused this as this is not normal. Car is sitting at Project X Customs right now getting fixed.

I will try to get pictures up later.

Has anyone had an issue with burning oil? Mine has been letting out a puff of smoke after you let off the gas from heavy boosting. It has been doing that from the very beginning. Im sure I did something wrong lol, but I was just wondering if anyone else has the issue. It doesn't smoke at all under normal driving. I haven't kept a close eye on my oil level, but every time I do check it its fine.

Are you sure it's oil? A lot of times it's un burnt fuel if the tune is on the richer side.

Well.... im pretty sure its oil. Its white smoke. Ill have to get a friend to follow me so he can smell it lol.

Chuck33079 · 09-21-2014, 12:58 PM

I always thought it was fuel=black, oil=blue and white =coolant. Have someone behind you check it. Are you on the base tune?

zguynate · 09-21-2014, 01:01 PM

Yeah Ill probably get a friend to follow me with the intent of smelling my exhaust lol. No, I have a tune from Z1. Under WOT my AFR is about 11.2-11.5ish.

zguynate · 09-21-2014, 01:03 PM

Im not really worried about anything, its just annoying because I can see the smoke in my mirror after I let off. It makes my car look like a smoking turd.

with this! I had worries back in my Z32 days after a bunch of mods. I was getting black smoke too. But it all went away once I had it tuned

Mine blows a little smoke after letting the throttle off after WOT.

this single turbo kits seems perrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect for my needs. I'm worried about blowing my engine up with twin turbo and too much boost on a stock block. Single should suit my needs.

so many pages to go through but what is the final price? if someone could be nice enough to tell me

$7,150 for the turn key according to his signature.

Not including the highly recommended supporting mods. I can roughly guess about $10,000, on the low end, not including install cost.

Single, twin, tri-turbo, supercharger doesnt make a difference when it comes to blowing up your engine. get a good tuner and tune it on the safe side and your chances of blowing your engine is a lot lower. Guys on here have blown their engines with superchargers too.

If you install your own clutch, gauges, boost controller and do your own custom mounts, I would expect around 11-12k. I was a bit over 12k doing my own install and having someone else install the clutch/flywheel and making a custom gauge mount.
