So.. going back to around 1-2 months ago... from this thread : https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=416834
Now winter is almost over, I finally saw some REAL white smoke....

I don't feel my turbo kicking in, I heard that huge strange sound... it's killing me..
then white smoke comes, i am dead...
There is not ALOT of white smoke, but still have enough to kill me hehe..
the smell of oil burning is not a good smell to know...

I am thinking's my piston rings.. anybody want to tell me what's broken??


I am not going to keep this car for long, BUT I need to fix it and sell the car..
anybody know a CHEAP way of fixing this?? and let me feel the boost again in this summer before i sell my car??

I was thinking of selling the turbo kit and stuff to do a swap.. but i really LOVE boost.....
can i just change the pistons and rings>??? I need help badly !!

I am financially broke !! and this is my daily school car... damn.. help please....

i realy want to cry when i saw those white smokes.... i wish somebody on honda-tech lives nearby me and help me out on doing engine stuff....

help please...

 

u sure its just not ur head gasket blown or turbo oil seal gone? Is it smoking out of the breather or oil dipstick?

 

i only see smoke from the exhaust...


i will probably need to take out the head to see what the **** is going on, eh??

thanks

 

Is it completely white or does it have a hint of blue when it smokes? Check your breather, when your rings or ringlands crack you get blowby and it usually smokes out the breather hole.

 

it's all white.... no blue color...

i will check the breather later tonight


thanks guys

 

I have a cracked ring, it smokes a little at idle I can notice it coming from the breather for the sump, not really from the valve cover... I also have oil shooting out the side of my turbo only a small amount but none the less, its there. Haven't noticed the actual oil level reducing yet so it must be a crack in the rings I guess....


Your problem Sounds like a head gasket to me, check your water levels to see if your losing water.. Check if there is air getting into your cooling system,check the radiator you can see it bubbling up at idle, also look for water floating on top of your oil check valve cover.... If you have any of those its your head gasket Goodluck

 

yea.. i am busy as **** from the projects and exams these few weeks.. i won't be look atit until the mid of april....

hopefully it's just the HG...

i really have no time to check what's going on under the hood... man.. i am fucked up !

thanks for all the help, i will post once i have tie to check what the hell it's going on under the hood !

Edit.. by the way, there is a vacuum leak somewhere, I have checke all my hoses and stuff, it's all good.. can it be due to the stuff in side the engine?? thanks
