My mate Ben needs advice ,his GTR is in near original condition 52,000kms

It blows heaps of smoke on boost for the first two times after warm up then completely stops smoking , it blows smoke again after cruising around slowly for a while.

i was thinking it may be unburnt fuel built up in the exhaust ? He has had new turbos installed , HKS exhaust and recent tune to get rid of the ceramics , any ideas why the smokey shit .

Black smoke is fuel and to be runing a bit rich is a good safety factor to have.

Like you have suggested after idling or crusing there can be a build up in the exhaust that is then cleared when it comes on boost.

It should be consistent, ie always black when you're on boost at normal temperature, or never. Is the power always the same? If its intermittent there may be a intermittently faulty sensor - might be worth plugging consult in for diagnostic check. Do you know what AFR the tuner targeted? Got a dyno graph with AFR?

My mate reckons its always had the same power since he got the new turbs 6 months ago ,

i agree with him on this , but we think the smoke issue is getting worse ,

i have been with Ben when he has boosted after cruising, at night you cant see shit in the rear vision mirror afterwards . We may need a new diagnostic check , sounds like a good idea :blink:

o2 sensors faulty? fuel build up during warm up or cruise

but of WOT warms everything up and it burns off cleaner

that or the coolant temp sensor

or o2 feedback disabled if its running a power fc

black smoke = blown oil seals in the turbo's

What? Wouldn't a blown seal cause oil to seep into the intake causing blue burning smoke?

Every single car I have ever seen or been in blows smoke when boost comes on and the car is booted. What, does everyone have a faulty turbo? My mate has a evo9, it does it. My mate has a wrx, it does it. Ive seen a fair few R33's do it and moreso on R34's.

What happens when you come on boost? YOU BURN PETROL. What happens when you burn petrol, you get black smoke.

Check the tune. Put it on rollers and check the AFR when boost comes. Does he have excess smoke residue on the rear bumper?

Yeah actually there is a fair bit of residue around the rear bumper , we definately know its not the turbo seals = new turbs !

black smoke = blown oil seals in the turbo's

Blown turbo seals, = White Smoke, or bluey/grey smoke.

If its puffing a Black Mist of smoke as it rolls onto boost, its just fuel mate, dont even worrie about it. If its any colour than black than start looking for probs

Yeh mine does that as i come off a gear in boost {{{Puffff}}},, they say its the nature of the beast!!... BUT i think mines running alittle too rich 330km a tank doesnt seem rightt, thats around 4 launches and around 7 boots as in 7 times i have pput the foot down but for like 10-15 secs at a time!! i used to do around 400-430km full tank. but thats only giving it a couple times maybe a couple boots. But 100km just for a few extra foot downs???? is that right? Evry time i take it to this tuner and he plays around or adjust soemthing and something elsee annoys me like now on warm crank theres not enough fuel as sometimes when i start it hesitates for 5 secs to get to a stable 1000rpm idle

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
