Hey guys just a quick question,

First of all i drive a 94 eg coupe swapped with gsr motor, ls tranny, intake, race header, and greddy sp2 exhaust, my friends say when i get on the throttle that im shootin out white or black smoke, i really cant tell because im not back there to see..now i need an oil change and such but im not exactly sure that its anywheres near the problem? can anyone let me know there input?

Thanks alot.

 

Your friends cant tell the difference between white and black smoke?

White smoke = Burnt coolant, which could mean a blown/worn headgasket or maybe a cracked sleave.

Black smoke = Running rich, check your o2 sensor, anything fuel/igniton related be sure to check too.

Blue smoke = Burning oil, which could be a number of things icluding rings, seals, leaks, etc.

Chances are it was black smoke (unless you tend to use alot of oil) and its just running a little rich.

 

he said it was white and that it smelled a little funny

 

if it has a sweet smell to it then...that means your burning coolant

 

thats fun, how much it cost depending on what the problem is ...to fix it?

 

headgaskets are not cheap. Ever notice the temp guage higher than normal?

 

nope temp gauge is normal, never to high, no smoke from under hood either ever. its only when i get on the throttle pretty good.

Nahh he probably meant getting it done isnt cheap. The part itself is not that bad, but the labour it involves is a whole other story.
