just wondering, my car is blowing too much white smoke just like the smoke when u turn your car on on a cold early morning...everytime i accelerate even a bit it blows a fair bit of white smoke. does that mean im burning oil or fuel? i got my car dyno tested and it is running too lean...

or more like ringlands. If its running lean!

What to do:

1) smoke smell like oil - and if its gets worse and worse, Piston number 6 is dead

2) Look down at the exhaust manifold too see if theirs any oil leaking out were the manifold joins onto the head.

3) leak down compression test

yeah it has a smell like oil and yeah my oil is burning pretty quick lately...i haventdriven the car much, its only my weekend car... but yeah ill check it out tomorrow.

so white smoke is pretty then aint it.i hope its nothing serious becasue my mechanic has been so busy and can only see him on the 25th...maybe i should take it to someone else asap before anything else goes wrong...maybe also the cause why my car is so laggy at the start and only picks up once it hits 4000rpm...

so even if the oil seals are stuffed on the turbo, the turbo can still work properly? coz mine still works as normal. but yeah my oil drains out really quick. spoke to my mechanic on the phone and reckons its more probably a blown oil seal on the turbo.

If I don't give the car a few mins to warm up as it hits boost it will blow puffs of what looks like white smoke.

Driving behind the car it looks more like fuel (grey smoke) than oil.

Mine has done it for around 2.5years and ~100,000km's.

    • You need the kit turbo taipan has shown you because that manifold ia designed have side feed injectors 
    • @johnnysr22 did you end up installing the little screen thingy and did it work ?>   
    • There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done. 
    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.
