My friends GSR is pushing out white smoke from the exhaust when revving 6-8000Rpm...what could be the cause???

Mods: intank, header, cat back exhaust..
the dealership is giving him the run around saying these mods are the cause but i don't see how at all.

 

White smoke = burning coolant

Check gaskets. Check plugs to see if there is any discoloration and that might narrow it down for you. Intake manifold gasket could be leaking and is easy to check.

 

whie smoke usually means you are running too lean also...

i thought this might be oil consumption problem..but i thought also about the head gasket..the heads have never been touched.

 

oil consumption would be blue.

most likely is the head gasket.

heads, plural, more than one? what kind of GS-R is that!?

 

sorry head..i thought it it also might be the head gasket..but will that cause an over consumption of oil?....maybe an internal problem? crack ring lands?

 

^^^^^^^

 

you dont have to make up stories about your "friend's gsr," we all know it's your car that's blowing smoke

don't turbo hondas! haha

 

Alex's lame attempt at trying to help

 

So true....

 

i'm just showing the man the correct way to make a honda fast. haha

still jealous of the R with the shinny radiator..

 

Probably a weeping head gasket if it continues to give white smoke after fully warmed up.

Was it ever overheated (bad thermostat, etc)?

the car has never been overheated..and always warmed up properly..it only smokes around 6000-8000 Rpm..and suggestions about the cause?

 

make up stories?!?! who asked u to post on my thread!! u non tech bastard!
