ok i have a smoking problem i have a boosted b16 stock have turbonetics t3/t4 3inch piping 550 rc injectors and p28 chillped uberdata anyways when i start the car in the morning i let it get warm and it starts smoking pretty good so then i drive the car like if im on the highway and then i get off and come to a light it starts smoking alot i wanna know what kinda symptoms can i check oh i also did a leakdown test and mechanic told me it wasnt bad so what can it be oh and the smoke 2 me looks whitish but some people think it looks blue so what could it be fellas

 

The same thing happend with me. It smoked at idle but not while driving or in boost and my compression was good. I had a bad valve seal on the exhaust side.

 

THANKS REALLY HOW ABOUT WHEN U CAME 2 A DEAD STOP AFTER DRIVING DID IT START SMOKING ALOT

 

bumpppppppppppppppppppppp help me lol

 

where is the smoke coming from?

 

Is it burning oil? If so it's most likely the piston rings. Does it make smoke when you get into boost? That's another symptom of bad rings. Do a compression test.

 

I had the have exact same problem, with almost the same set up. I have a turbonetics t3/t4. It could be your piston rings, or your valve seals, but the problem you describe sounds exatly like mine and I just replaced the motor, and it's still doing it. When I'm driving no smoke, but when I take an exit ramp and stop at a light at the end, I get a puff of smoke. I think it may be the turbo leaking a little bit of oil, which can happen with Ball bearing turbos from what I hear. I think that this may be due in part to my shitty oil return line. There is a slight bend upwards in it so oil may be pooling up and backing it up into the turbo, but under driving conditions where your oil is under more pressure, it may not be bad enough to back up the oil in the line. I don't know, this is just my guess. What kind of oil return line are you using? As I said, I don't think it's the valve seals, or bad pistons because I've had the same problem through two motors now.

 

Thanks for ur replies guys as a matter of fact my oil return like does have a slight kink I'm using just regular hose I wanna get steel braided line but its real wierd when I get on it it throws a lot of smoke but that could be that I'm running very rich but when I get off the highway lets say I see a lot of smoke behind me but like when I'm drivin not much at all its wierd

 

same **** happened to me recently with my motor... Built the motor, had valve seals and guides checked and everything was in spec. Pulled the head the other weak and took it to another machine shop to have the head inspected and they claim everything is good...Nothing sucks more than putting a new sleeved motor together and having it smoke.

 

Yea I bet it does suck buddy car is a pain in the *** u know but it could be so many things its crazy

 

From what I've seen on my car and a few others bad valve seals don't really smoke in boost only when it's pulling a lot of vacuum like on decel and at idle at stop signs and ****. If it's smoking while getting on it, it's either the turbo or rings. From my experience at least.

 

It smokes when I get on it but its runnin super rich also my problem is when I come 2 a dead stop or on deceleration or when I 1st start the car in the morning is when it smokes alot
