engine smoke-turbo i think

[s12-newbie]

it dont smoke when i lift of the throttle you can gun the car up or down the gears with no smoke!

it smokes just on tickover or on starup when its been run, my MOT man ha let me go on it for 2 years on the smoke test
my emisions are fine though! lol

i presume cause it only smokes on tickover or startup when the car is warm its just oil from the turbo getting burnt in the exhaust

lewt me know ya thoughts

The t25 and the t28 aren't direct fit,you will need to modify your intercooler pipes and the t28 needs an adapter for the air inlet on the compressor side.
They all have slightly different exhaust housings as well.
The t25 would be the easiest fitting turbo and definitely is better than the original t2.

can i put my t2 cast exhaust elbow on a t25?

i'm after the closest thing to a bolt on swap out! my s12 is my daily so 'll need to have it fitted & working within a weekend

modding my intercooler pipes is no probs just the turbo is the worrying part!

i have a t25 off a rover it boosts & does'nt smoke for defo but it does have shaft play so i doubt how long it would last once fitted if its a more or less direct ish fit?

what about a t25 off a ca18DET?

let me "the clueless" know! :OP

That sounds just like mine was, new set of valve stem seals, all sorted.

when the thurbo goes, normally you get smoke on overun, when you lift off the throttle.

You can fit it without using all of the elbow bolts,as the t20 has 4 bolts and the t25 has 5 it will work ok though provided you have an original nissan gasket.
I cant talk about the rover 1 as they are all extinct so I never see them any more,but the det 1 will work fine.
