evo 4 engine sounds lumpy and smoking blue

hi guys i have recently bought an evo 4,and engine has started to sound lumpy,can any 1 point me in rite direction to what it could be,os it turbo or the engine?any help would be apreciated thanks

blue smoke = burning oil mate, need to be a little bit more descriptive about the prob, has it just started? is it boosting?

how dense is the blue smoke?
are you loosing/burning engine oil?
it could be excessive fuel aswell.
unlikely the turbo.

Hi Peter,
this is your second IV right????

Your not having good luck are you buddy

Is it smoking on hi boost???
Have you taken out the plugs and had a look at them???

Get back to us right here.

hi mate no having bad look with them at the moment,i am not sure if it is boosting or not as i m scared i will do more damage on boost,it has no knocks or bangs n starts at flick of the key,it smokes slightly on idle and as i leave it running for a few mins it gets bad,that bad that you can barely c anythng behind the car.

now that sounds bad .
you need to check if it boosts'
are you loosing much engine oil & you have to check the spark plugs mate.
by doing all this it should give you an answer to your problem.
good luck .

Run a compression test buddy.
This is one of 2 faults.
You have a piston ring or more that have cracked or your turbo has done one.

Not cheap either way.

Keep us posted.

check your inlet manifold for a splattering of oil

hi mate what am i lookin for on the spark plugs?i havent got a clue about cars,just know bits and bats,what is the kwikest and easiest way to find owt the problem without taking the engine to bits,apprecite all the help guys,thanks

Did you have the plugs out for an inspection Peter???

Peter, I am sure that RallySlag will give you some pointers in a moment. Sorry buddy but something has come up. If you have had no replies then I will get back to you in a couple of hours for sure.

no mate, i have been at work,i am going to have a look at them on saturday once i know what i am looking for on the plugs

best bet is tell us what you see on the plugs, even better take pictures

im just thinking of easy ways for you to do checks as im assuming your toolbox is limited and lacking such items as comp testers,


if you can remove the inlet pipe (the bit from the turbo to the inlet manifold) you dont have to take it off completly, just look and feel inside and see if there are any pools of oil as this will indicate blown turbo,
