car smokes when i come on to her.
 

hey guys my car has been smoking a little when i come on to it. but when i'm driving normal its fine unless i downshift to the lower gears like 3rd to 2nd and then 2nd to 1st. more so after beating the shit out of 5.0's in town.
i'm not sure if its a seal in my turbo or if its something else.
so please guys can you help me out,anyone have any idea what it could be.
the supra is working great. has no problems kicking 5.0's and anything esle that dares to pull up beside me. so not sure if its serious or not.

Actually, I'm having a very simmilar problem with my 89 turbo. I can bring it up to 3k or 4k rpms without it smoking if I rev it real slow, but when I rev it moderate to hard, it'll start spewing blue smoke, even if it's as low as 2k rpms..

Some say the engine needs a rebuild, but a mechanic friend of mine says it's probably as simple as a turbo seal. Anybody have any suggestions?

general rules to smoke

white smoke on startup/cold mornings = normal
white smoke constantly = bhg :(
blue smoke constant under acceleration = piston rings worn
blue smoke on startup = valve seals generally
blue smoke at idle but not under acceleration is generally turbo seals
blue smoke on deceleration = turbo seals
grey smoke on acceleration = tune your car
grey smoke at idle while idle rpms are all over the place = fix your boost leak

(testing the turbo) make sure your car is warm.... rev it slowly and hold it at about 2000rpm

then drop the throttle back to idle... does it then piss out with smoke? if so then more than likely your turbo seals are dead

that help?

Pull your accordian hose and look and see if there is a ton of oil in the hose and the turbo, pretty easy to do and wouldn't hurt to clean it out. You can also check the freeplay and condition of the turbo. Turbo seals are cheap, broken blade on the turbo aren't (gotta get a new turbo, grrrrrr)
