I justed boosted my B16A2 all stock engine at 8psi drive it for a couple of days then white smoke started coming out of the breather of the valve cover just wanted to know if anyone know about that if its normal or is my engine going to take a ****

 

white smoke is coolant evaporating... im not very knowledgeable on boost i run NA but i doubt thats a good thing. coolant should never be in your head.

 

you probably have a blwon head gasket

 

someone told me its the rings going ?

If its the rings then you are going to burn oil and oil usually produces black smoke.

Check your oil and see if its milky in color.

could be, but you have to be buring lots of oil to have white smoke. Check your oil level, if it is low or if the oil is turning milky in color then you definately have problems. If the oil is milky then you have a leaky head gasket which is very possible when you slap a turbo on a stock engine. If the oil level is just low and black in color, then your rings are probably bad.

Now, if the oil looks alright and isn't low, then you need to check your coolant level, and if it is low then that also means that you have a leaky headgasket.

"coolant should never leak out of the passages in your head."

 

thanks guys for the answer

 

yeah most def first thing i would do is stop driving the car. obviosly.. then call the shop that tuned it and c what they say BUT if it was my car id do a comp test to c if the rings are bad etc. that will aslo tell u if u are loosing compression through and thing. but id also do the head gasket asap..
