turbo integra died on me today
I was sitting at a light on my lunch break when all of a sudden car starting running like ****. It droped to damn near stalling idles and as soon as i hit the gas it stalled out and white smoke started coming from my hood for a few secs. I pushed it out of traffic and called a tow truck in fear that it jumped timing or even worse. Poped the hood and the smoke was gone and couldn't smell anything. I looked there were no fluids leaking, it had oil, wasn't over heated (oil pressure/oil,water temp). Once i got it to the shop we checked for the obvious it had fuel pressure, it was sparking.
Now im stuck back at work and praying its nothin major. Though I fear the worst.

were you flooring on the gas before the light?
sounds like a piston fried...
Do a comp. test and leak down test you might have a bad piston. Pull head off

I don't have an answer for you, but just wanted to suggest posting this in the FI forum. You would probably get more suggestions there.

Re: turbo integra died on me today
My tuner/mechanic just called telling me he has it running. Ignitor in the Distributor went out. I guess that would explain the white smoke once i poped the hood. Sux i didn't get a good smell of the smoke or surley i would have known it was electrical ive smelled plenty of amps go up in smoke. WOOOHOO and i thought i was gonna have to spend 3G's on a fully built/sleeved block looks like i got a little bit longer. FYI ignitors are $175 for a genuine honda ouch but lot better then $495 for a whole new distributor. Ive got one on order from acuraparts247.com he's gonna let me borrow one out of a used dist until mine gets here.
