Ok so now that i changed my oil and reconditioned my fuel injectors. I have pure fuel coming from the compressor side of the turbo to the down pipe out the exhaust. WTF. Besides that it idles well. but i have tons of smoke because of it. I also removed my sparkplugs and found no fuel on top of the cylinders and the spark plugs are dry.

Any suggestions.. Personally i'm thinking of removing my turbo to see wtf is going on. I have no other idea why fuel would be coming out of the turbo.

Turbo might be full of fuel still....

the oil pump probably picked fuel up instead of oil & pumped that through into the turbo...its VERY possible the fuel ate the seals.

It was my fuel injector o-rings again. #3 and #6 on the rail are seriously leaking and when the piston compressed it shot through the block to the exhaust manifol and through the turbo to the exhaust pipe. JON POWELL where can i get rb25det fuel injector o-rings. I have taken them to a fuel injection specialist and they put on a suitable substitute and as you can tell 2 of them didn't work. Are the 300zx tt or na a direct fit? I really need help with this on jon.

SR20 uses the same injectors so go get some from a Sentra SE-R or Infiniti G20. Should do you right.

So with all this fuel going places into the motor where it shouldnt.... is it going to cause a seal nightmare?

I'm getting really worried now, because I have been experiencing the same exact problems.

Ok on the rail if any of the lower o-rings are slightly damaged it will cause the rail not to seal. So i had 2 extra o-rings and replaced them on my #3 and #6 injector. This we found out because i pulled the rail, took off the ecu injector connectors and left on the feed and return lines. We then applied power to the vehicle and watched and heard the pump send fuel to the rail and #3 injecotr pissed all over the place soo there was the 1st one and #6 had a constant drip. Obviously i had fuel pressure at 38psi untill the pump stops after initial power up. The rail loses pressure and fuel will not go to the other injectors. well at least mine didn't so my engine was runnin on 3 cylinder this last time. Anyhow, the whole contaminated oil fuel issue is done because i changed fluids already and the latent fuel in the exhaust system has evaporated. So, accelljunky pull your rail (ONLY 4 BOLTS) dissconnect the clips and apply pressure and see which ones are screwing you.

Also, when reinstalling injectors with new o-rings please do not make the same mistakes the fuel injection specialist did. They used a spray lubricant instead of a heavy solid lube (grease). You can tell the difference when your putting on the caps to seat the injectors. The grease allowed it to slide easily into place but when i did it with just the spray lube they didn't seat well and there was a big difference.

So tomorrow i'm off to reinstall and see how it goes. Should be easy tomorrow. and i think that is it.
