my new r smoking after i put my foot down, the more boost the more smoke i get! the dumpvalve is pointed straight at the air filter so could this be anything to do with it as the filter does look quite oily. The engine has been fully rebuilt with forge internals about 2 years ago by ND . Other possibility is turbo? Any opinions?
smoke after boosting?

What colour is the smoke? Could possible be the turbo, or the valve stem oil seals.

He didn't say whether he gets any smoke on start up or not or the colour of it.Sam_M said:

does it smoke only after boosting?

do you have any oil leaking from your dump valve? take off the inlet pipe and feel the turbo shaft for lots of play..

its turbo or pistons, disconnect the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler, then rev the engine to high rpm, to see if there is oil being blown through (there would also be lots of oil in the pipe work and intercooler!) if there is oil in the pipes then your lucky and its just a turbo, if there isnt then you have one or two cracked piston lands and its engine rebuild time, i had exactly the same problem as you and it was the pistons.
hope this helps

i have just had clutch on car done. when i got car back really chucked out smoke thought it was new moogoose exhaust then stopped but now started to do same thing as yours.only seems to be on down changes thou ill take off turbo pipe and have a look. also like you said mine is also back firing think it could be over fueling
only been told it was overfueling? not convinced myself! but when i test drove it it didnt smoke? but they did change the water pipe at the back between test drivin and picking up. got told alot of bits had to come of the engine so also could be something to do with that. gonna get it rolling roaded at norris designs (cause they did the engine rebuild) to be set up to eliminate fueling and hopefully they will shed some light on it;-)

what area are you in? it might (will) be cheaper to get another member to look at it;-)white 'R' said:
i live in herefordshire (west midlands) would be good if possible but i think i still need to get it set up on rolling road. i dont how much u can set ignition and fueling on fc commander? there is oil in intercooler pipes so looking more and more like turbo! but better being that than engine i suppose!

I had a look at the R a week before you bought it. The airfilter was soked in oil plus oil was drippin out of the DV and splated over the under side of the bonnet, I did say to the guy that seems alot of oil, I think he said that he was goin to fit a catch can. I cant remember seein it blowin smoke out or burnin oil, I did go back for a second veiwin, But you had bought it so i didnt bother lookin. I hope it works out for you bud.
As im here, What should a R tickover at?
