Hi people I need help with my Subaru my95 wrx turbo.
It has a rebuilt sti8 bottom end which has done around 7k
Updated head gaskets and rebuilt heads.with a gt35 turbo.
I took it to the garage yesterday for fuel and all was fine parked it up and went to use it again today and started but sounded very odd like a missfire and smelt really bad of fuel so left it running for a min and then when I touched the throttle it smoked lots seems to be white smoke.so took it for a drive up the road and the hotter the car got the worse the smoke got and also struggling to get boost it smells like burning oil now but any advice before I start ripping it apart I checked the plugs and coils and all was fine ..???

 

checked your manifold is on right?

 

The inlet manifold? It has been on since it was built sound 7k miles ago or do you mean it might of come lose

 

has your turbo changed noise?

 

No the turbo has not changed noise and it was recently rebuilt around 100miles ago by Owen developments

 

Sh1te fuel??

 

up, you did put in unleaded,just a question,not saying you would do it on purpose.

 

if there's still lots of smoke when the car is warm it sounds like headgasket, get one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNIVERSAL-...-/151046876264

or a blown turbo.

 

I did put v power in the car same as always but car was running absolutely
Fine parked it up went out next morning and it sounds like it's missing the noise
From the exhaust is completely different from
Normal and it's smoking lots I also noticed that looks like oil around the uppipe from the turbo

 

fingers crossed its your turbo and not your engine

 

But I just had the whole turbo rebuilt how would I test the turbo ??

 

Take it back to the guy who built it! Who fitted the turbo once it was repaired?

 

Im not an expert somebody more knowledgable on here will correct me, but I would take the hose off and prod the wheel, see if it moves.

 

But if it was the turbo then surely it wouldn't make the car run lumpy ??

 

if its lumpy on idle i would get a compression test done, I had this on a classic, on mine you could feel it in the drivers seat.

Low compression on two cylinders, one was really bad.

 

update...
I started the car today and noticed that it smelt like fresh fuel coming straight out of the exhaust,so I looked under the bonnet and noticed that there is fuel leaking from around or in the turbo and is quite bad I put my hand there and it was pretty wet from the spray of fuel any idea what can cause this,and I take it the smoke coming out when warm is unburnt fuel coming straight out of the exhaust as I say it is not a little bit of fuel any help would be appriciated

 

The fuel seems to be coming from we're the turbo joins the uppipe
It's not mixed but it's just fresh fuel and quite a lot of it aswell

 

Stuck injector? I would probably take the plugs out and look for a cylinder full of fuel.

 

Cheers for the advice people but turned out to be a stuck injector ��
