So I was driving in front of my brother yesterday and he said that when ever i gunned it he would see WHITE SMOKE come out of either my right tailpipe or both(he couldn't really tell). WHat dose this mean? How bad?
--By the way the car is N/A with CAI, 75mm TB, Accufab PLenum, O/R Prochamber, and Magnaflow catback.
Im in the workings of doin some kind of forced induction, probably turbo, so i need to make sure the engine is A OK.
Thanks for the help guys,
-Jason

 

Take it to the dyno and get the A/F checked out. Hard to diagnois what someone else sees....

 

White "smoke" would be steam, black smoke is fuel and bluish smoke is oil burning. Sounds like you may have a head gasket problem and are sucking in a little bit of coolant.

 

+1 for steam/coolant in the exhaust... good info Doc.

 

The DR has spoken the truth. Problems await.

 

While I would also say that white smoke generally signifies steam from coolant, I have to agree with the OldMan. Go Get an A/F done before you go ripping the heads and intake off for no reason.

 

or you can go to napa and get a "block test kit". The kit is easy to use, and will tell you if there is exhaust gases present in your coolant system. Which will signify bad headgasket, cracked head, or block.... i think it is about 40$... the choice is yours. What mods do you have on the car? has it ever ran hot in the past?

 

check for bubbles in the radiator and also try a compression test. aslo try checking for lost coolant without reason.

 

Pull the radiator cap with a full radiator. When you start the car, if the fluid splurts up and whatnot then you have a compresson leak, I.E. something sealing up a water jacket in your heads/block is cracked. Could be as simple as a head gasket or as bad as a cracked head.

H2O pwnz you.
