Sup guys, Most of you know my setup, but recently after this autocross event, I've been blowing some white smoke, after I'd do some hard shifts into second.. All the way up to 9400k, Now at auto cross we did not bounce the rev limiter, once, i swear to god cause i dont do that crap, i can drive.. But i'm wondering why this is, i just finish my new exhust / headers and this is when it started happening, is it possible that the tune I have on the car now, is more opened up with these headers/exhust and i need to be retuned, it doesn't do it in 3rd, just 1st and 2nd when i get on it and go all the way to 9400k and shift, the car has been reving this high for 4 months now, no oil burning problems or anything, i'm fine on oil as it is.. and i dont think anything is wrong, block is almost new.


Also, i'm running a12.9 AFR consisted until i changed my exhust and exhust, on i'm running F'n rich.. and i feel as if i lost alot of power.. should i be worried or just retune and i'll be fine.. i haven't gotten time to retune my baby, but i am tuning it webnesday.

 

do a cr test

 

dont you think i would have done that already, CR is fine across the board..

Why throw attitude when someone is trying to help you? If you already did some diagnostics, you should mention it.

white smoke = coolant
blue smoke = oil
black smoke = rich (fuel)

You might have lifted the head a bit. Do a coolant contamination test (with the blue dye) and it will tell you if you are getting coolant into your combustion chambers - unless you already did that too....

 

can u tell me more aboutt his coolant test, id like to do that, i noticed a little bit of white smoke from my car too, thanks buddie

 

The kit is available from most tool suppliers (like Snap-On); there are lots of versions. You use a blue dye (actually a reagent) to see if there is carbon monoxide in the coolant. Any cross contamination from combustion to coolant will show up. It is a good way to tell if your head gasket is starting to go or is already leaking.
