white smoke ..?

[FaberNZ.blaaack-S15]

Ok I have heaps of white smoke pouring out my exhaust after long like 2hr ish drives boosting alot. It never happens normally only when i'm driving for a long time. It happens when i stop and its idling but fine when i start driving now i don't think and would be really surprised if its the head gasket because that got replace not long ago. Or dealt its the turbo because its only 10,000kms old brand new. my thoughts was it was just getting really hot but doesn't really seem to right. What could it be? ps. its a +t cracked piston or something? i duno its got no lack in performance though.

Well your definitely loosing water if it’s white smoke!

Have you checked the levels in the reservoir? Don’t want it going down to low...

Im gonna go with HG

Is it thick white smoke or misty white smoke? Turbo seals cause a dense whiteish smoke cloud and occur more when on idle. But also Check you water level aswell! Either way it's not good!

 

[FaberNZ.blaaack-S15]

hard to say misty white i think. but it never happens normally only after real long drives. water is fine

you will be cooking your turbo oil seals, whats the turbo a good quality one like a garrett?? if its something like a DSR or some other cheap chinese knock off dont be surprised as they only seam to last about 6months to a year.
Remember you are running a +t so some extreme heat will be coming out your exhaust ports. Also have you in anyway blocked off your engines breathers?? like blowby breathers in your rocker cover, and have you overfilled your engine oil, which would cause excessive oil pressure, forcing it out through your turbo seals like after a long hard run?

 

[FaberNZ.blaaack-S15]

yea i just put a breather on the rocker cover, i don't think the turbo is a garret can't really see what it is. engine oil is exactly high. Another thing that might there has been a burning oil smell all the time.

I'd say its your rear turbo seal leaking oil. It will only get worse.

 

[spoonman]

breathers are all good, just dont block them off, and if you can smell oil burning all the time then year, turbo oil seal, new turbo time............

 

[Auss15]

I know the smell, I saw the smoke, I got a new turbo.........then I had to upgrade the gearbox, injectors and retune. Oh well, it's only money

 

[FaberNZ.blaaack-S15]

far out! does not sound good! so much money im mad. im so poor atm. so what do you reckon i do wait till the turbo completely goes or do it asap. i might as well get a det with all the money im going to spend. -.- so mad

 

[Auss15]

Have a look around for a good secondhand turbo, it's your best option if money is tight.

 

[S15_SAM]

So it's a boost DE? Would defo go DET with stock t28 then you won't have as many probs aslong as its tuned well!

 

[FaberNZ.blaaack-S15]

yea really want to just get a det but money is hard. then a re tune cost so much. so should i defiantly get a garret not some **** one

 

[Auss15]

For reliabilty and cost, yes a Garret is your best option
