White Smoke.....

[scheris]

Anyone know what white smoke coming out of the exhaust could mean? problem wise?

The car is bone stock cept for an exhaust tip and pod filter. On load and high revs, it generates white smoke. The doode claims that it's just condensation in the exhaust.

White smoke usually means oil is being burnt somewhere.

ay places in particular noticeable to the naked eye? else ima jus stay away from it

As a Mechanic... white smoke is almost ALWAYS steam... I am guessing head gasket..

Have you lost any power? are you running hot?check the rad... you might have blown the head gasket!

From the feed back I got I suspect mine is plugs or coil packs

big burts of power at hte top end of the rev range, think its leaning out @ top, which case, pinging is strong posiblity, i havent bought THAT car, just antoher posiblity as im looking

ive got some stuff in mind but as im on allot of importers / dealers lists to buy at the moment if they get something in that somewhat fits what i want hte give me a call.. told him i wasnt interest straight up as he wants to much $$$ just hadnt seen pure white smoke before, it happens under load all the time, it is runninbg complete stock bar the intake pod and the exhuast tip, so yea, staying away

and from first link

brownish/black smoke = running rich

white or blue smoke = burning oil

Sounds like you have a bit of blow-by, symptoms of a leaking seal in the turbo or a tired engine. Running 14psi+ on a std turbo, i would suggest you start saving for a replacement

IMO opinion it could be blow-by as its only doing it under load and high revs. does you car have an oil catch can?

myth: i can search

busted: i cant search for shit,

i musted typed in like 3 or 4 searches and i did get hits but nothing useful, i got 2 of those threads, maybe i didnt read em well enough cuase from what i could tell they werent EXACTLY the same,

though the first thread sort of gets the same response with a shitty question

under high load leaning out up top it blows white smoke for like 5-6 seconds, stock bar a pod and tip, basically nothing cept intake growl and it went harder than most on cat back exhuast with pod and boost controller uping to 12ish psi, it wasx ecu controlled with literally no mods, suspect now head gasket is f**ked and think its well worth leaving alone

nah, oils usually blue. water is white

True.... white turbo or seal... Losing power?
