smoke?

[NoWheels]

what does white smoke from the exhaust mean?

[Weston]

It means that you're burning oil.

[NoWheels]

shit how can that be fixed?

[David]

It means that you're burning oil.
no it doesn't, white smoke is coolant.

When are you seeing the smoke?

[Weston]

That depends on where it's coming from... could be bad piston rings, bad valve seals, blown turbo seals, oil going into the intake manifold from through the PCV, or just oil that gets by seals too easily (Mobil 1 has been known for this). You can run a compression check and leakdown test to get an idea what's going on inside the engine. Pull the PCV hose off of the intake manifold and see if it has oil in it... it usually does have a little, but sometimes the stock oil separator really sucks (it's what is before the PCV valve). Also, change oil to Valvolene MaxLife and see if the problem goes away.

[NoWheels]

well when i get on it is when the smoke comes.... and i dont know how to do a compression check..

[Weston]

no it doesn't, white smoke is coolant.

When are you seeing the smoke?

Everyone always says that white smoke is coolant and blue is oil, but every single time that I've seen a car burning oil (and we knew for sure that it was oil), it was pretty damn white.

[nicklk]

White smoke=coolant
Bluish white smoke=oil

[doctorstupid]

Weston's right.

White or grey smoke is very often oil. Depending on when this smoke shows up, it can be very easy to pin point what is burning, and where it's getting in.

People who say blue = oil and white = coolant without looking any further into it than the color of the smoke are noobs. Noobs with a mighty internet education and mittens safety pinned to their coats all year.

Yep, I am a noob.....never've built a motor or anything in my life! Its called a rule of thumb, not the thumb stuck up your ass. Its a good way of trouble shooting and further finding your problem..

What shop did you have build your car?

[doctorstupid]

What shop did you have build your car?
The one I own.

Why?

You missed the point....nevermind

Oh I got it, it was just an asinine and wholey irrelevant point that didn't deserve any effort in a retort.

[Nightfall]

Was he trying to insinuate that you don't know shit about cars doctorstupid?

That made me roffel

[nicklk]

I didnt try to insult, but I did get insulted.....

Just funniest thing is, I have built more cars, faster then the majority of the people on this site....including both of you..

hmmm, something makes me doubt that.

Then the motor I built and tuned of my buddies, GE 84mm sleeved GSR w/sc61, all custom fab done by me......no pics or vids of runs but dynoed 325 on pump gas at 14psi....didnt have a chance to do more tuning with it thou

Less to say, I havent had a car thats ran slower then a 12.5.....(the black JDM integra wasnt able to run with setup, but ran that with a greddy kit)

I'm just used to bigger, faster cars then here.....here there are a half dozen nice fast cars, in the NW, there are a half dozen ricers, and the rest are actual FAST cars...rb25dett swapped 240's, TT C5's, S/C 5.0's, everyone has built motors......thats what I am used to working on and racing...

I drive a 18 second CRX... end of discussion.

Please don't cry, emo kid. I didn't mean to insult your mittens :D

Its all good, seems like the majority of CO people run off assumptions anyways....

[Weston]

Well, that's the thing... you don't know him, know what he does for a living, what he's built, his 1/4 miles, etc. We've had other people make similar claims before, and they've all turned out to be pretty fucking retarded, no matter what their 1/4 mile times were.

He doesnt fuckin know me either, so to make assumptions because some fuck heads have come on this ol' holy site and have made asses out of themself doesnt mean I am the same. I have yet to meet someone here that doesnt run off of assumptions....

No reason to get all butt-hurt though.



Oh, and for the record, 325hp is about the lowest horsepower car I've put on the road in recent memory ;)

Interesting.. the video you posted says otherwise.

That is just one run though. I'm sure he's done faster than 12.5 in the same car.

[doctorstupid]

Point is it ran slower than 12.5, as a result I am forced to conclude he's full of shit.

[nicklk]

And seeings how everyone else likes to have things on record, the night before I ran the 12.7, my car hadnt even been started.....the morning before the run I tossed a generic tune on Uberdata and ran through some top end timing, but didnt mess with the a/f...I was running a 10:1 accross the board on that run. Next weekend is when I hit the 12.2, after working out the a/f and timing

Not a sequel, it's a Trilogy. Fuck Star Wars, Rambo, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, 3F3F is where it's at.

If you niggaz ain't outta control, you niggas ain't in control.

B is a lot more fun.

Got you on that one... 330 on pump gas at 9psi, So I guess I am not part of the majority..

[Weston-work]

You're just bitter because you can't compete in the Understeer Challenge!

Well, you could, but understeering a RWD car is like oversteering a FWD car... the idiots have declared it to be impossible, so you'll be burned at the stake for witchcraft if you do it.


Got you on that one... 330 on pump gas at 9psi, So I guess I am not part of the majority..







:)

Yeah, a built GSR running 14 psi, and bored out to 84mm, should be a lot higher than 325 whp. People can turbo a stock GSR @ 7 psi and get high 200's easy, with under 200 torque, simply because they rev to 8000+ RPM.

(kidding, let's not start crying again :p )

:rofl: These sound like sea-level times anyway. Let's see him run at Bandimere... :D

[nicklk]

Well if I still had my car I would bring it......plus my times were only at 8psi of boost and 22" slicks....1.9 60's......LSD and traction bars, kind of gives you representation on how much wheel spin I had....

My plans were to have been running 12 pounds and 24.5" slicks, it would have brought me into the mid 11's....but thats all hear say cus the car was stolen...so ya
