ZXR_KiD Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 recently accuired a '79 280ZX with an 82 turbo motor in it... this is the first turbo vehicle I've had any expirience with... after some tweeking I got the car to start and run great when it gets to the point where the turbo would spool it would make a very loud low pitch squeal for a couple seconds then stoped untill I shut it down and re-started it, after awile the sound stoped completely, then I did an oil change and used Halvoline 10w-40 wich is what I've used in my other 2 '79s for yrs. now when the turbo starts to spool it smokes BADLY and u can smell the oil, when the turbo isn't spooling it doesn't smoke... Do I need to use a different oil or have I had a seal go bad coincidential to my oil change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 280ZForce Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 im guessing u could have bad piston rings or bad seals on the turbo...but i could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
