I just picked up a 91 se-r with a gti-r swap in it and am trying to figure out why it is smoking like crazy. the guy i got it from said he blew the stock turbo up and got a new one and rebuilt it, he said he cleaned out the intake and intercooler. I had it running and it smokes with the intercooler on it and with it off so I know its not residual in the i/c. I wouldnt think that there could be that much residual oil in the intake.? Does anyone know how I can isolate weather it is the turbo or something in the engine?? I checked for shaft play in the turbo and it doesnt seem to have any. I know it has 5/30 oil in it and it will burn a little with that light weight of an oil but not this bad. I am going to do a comp. check on it tomorrow and see where that leads me but if that turns out ok I am at a dead end.
Any help or thoughts would be great. Thanks

check you fluid levels.

Well I pulled the engine apart and found my problem here it is....

When I do the rebuild I will be posting pics along the way

Ouch that sucks man...hows the block..

the block is scored up a little it will be going to the machine shop soon to see exactly what I will have to do hopefully I can get away with just honing it not boring it. Anyone got a piston?
