Hey guys,

I have a eg civic with a b18c1 motor, cp pistons, eagle rods, skunk 2 tuner cams, I believe upgraded springs and valves, and compression 9:1, it has a Garrett gt3076r with a peakboost ram manifold, 44m tail wastegate, tail bov, omni power map sensor, catch can, tuned on hondata s300 and recently the car started throwing white smoke not a lot but still noticeable, because it doesn't run right, I also noticed that my radiator has oil mixed with the coolant, so I flushed and add new coolant and it mixed again, my oil level goes down.

I used to have my turbo and wastegate water cooled, and I thought they were causing the problem so I bypassed them, and the car is still acting the same, I did a block test and the chemical liquid stayed blue, what should I do? I will be doing a compression test soon.

I read that it could be a cracked head, cracked block or headgasket?

You basically answered your own question. Compression and leakdown test, pull the head and take a look. Don't risk your engine, especially since pulling the head isn't really that complicated.

Okay I will see what numbers I get from the compression test, I will update ASAP, thanks

Put those water lines back on that turbo, or even after you do the head, you'll have a paperweight on your hands as well.

I'm planning on putting them back on, but not until it runs correctly, also what do you mean by paperweight on my hands? Sorry for newbiesh question

Because water lines are not optional for GT-R turbos. You've ruled out that turbo is not the culprit so put the water lines back on now.
