When I let the car decellerate without brakes and If I start to re-accellerate it will blow a cloud of white smoke untill its back to normal cruising speeds. This happends at any speeds above 40mph. Once the smoke clears I can accelerate as hard as I want and theres no smoke. Theres also no smoke while accellerating only when I re-acclerate after letting it decellerate..Motor only smokes in high rpms when you give it a little gas after letting it decellerate.. Motor has roughly 1k as of today..


Another question is problems with skunk2 stage2's.. Motor drives strong untill vtec. once I bring it into vtec I can feel a bog or it hesitates. 1st and 2nd gear is not to bad but you can really tell in 3rd threw 5th. Its like i'm forcing it to accellerate without vtec... Any help is appreciated.. thanks in advance

 

Anyone??

 

When you engine brake (decelerate without braking) your engine is pulling alot of vaccum. White smoke, if it is indeed white, is indicative of coolant. Your probably have a tiny leak, and when you decelerate, your pulling a bit into the cylinders.

 

When I decellerate it doesnt smoke, it only smokes on re-accellerationg during the engine braking... If its coolant, do you think it would be the head gasket??

 

I understand that it doesnt smoke during decel, im saying thats when vacuum is highest, and your pulling in coolant. It COULD be the headgasket. Do you have access to a leakdown tester ?

 

I'll get a leak down this week.. I'll keep you all updated.. thanks

 

Heres an Update..

I took the car to the place that built my motor.. The guy did a leak down test and he said theres not leaks from the motor. He said that the cause could be the rings. I used Hasting Crome rings which he said where a bitch to break in and Seal. What do you all think?

Again, its a white blueish smoke and once It smokes I can smell burning oil afterwards.

 

how many miles is on the motor?

Its not "again" because you stated it was only white the first time and you never mentioned the burning oil smell. Your mechanic should have given you leak % number's as well as been able to determine exactly where the leakage was coming from, i mean, that is the whole point of a leakdown test.

It sounds like you are going to have a tough time with your engine builder's warranty.

 

I'm gonna get another leak down test..

 

hope not from the same "engine builder"

 

hey did you ever figure out why it smoke like that? i have the same problem

 

could be the pcv valve...if its stuck open or non existant you'll get some serious blow by

 

valve stem seals?

 

Like CC stated, your engine builder should have been able give you an idea of where your problem is from the leakdown test. If not, you might need to take it somewhere else and test it again. If you are getting a bog of hesitation when vtec engages, you might need to start with a proper engagement point and tune.
