Hey all,

I have been noticing that under acceleration, I have dark exhuast smoke.The smoke looks like it is progresivly getting darker but I am not sure. Oil changes have been showing dark oil after 3-4k oil changes. Current set up is FP red turbo, AMS as follows: fuel rail,inline fuel pump,widemouth down pipe, test pipe, single exhaust, cold air intake, intercooler, upper and lower intercooler piping. 800cc DW injectors, Halmen MBC.

If there is something wrong, what might it be? Oil leak? Rich fuel tune? a turbo issue? Some sort of engine issue dealing with seals of some sort ie: pistons rings, heads?

Any ideas or feedback would be great. I currently have the car at Forged Performance in Marietta GA to get some Kelford 214B, upgraded springs, and ARP head studs installed. I am also going to have them looking over the lowers to see if there are any issues. Again any feedback would be great.

 

Maybe your running too rich.

You are running to rich

Oil smoke is usually white/whiteish blue .

 

Makes sense, none of the smoke coming out of the exhaust is white. The new tune at Forged Performance should fix that issue.

 

dont waste fuel LOL too rich

 

EVO X's smoke, period. It's fuel. No worries. I have an FP Red EVO X as well and under WOT I lay down a decent smoke screen as well. I'm thinking it has to do with angles within either the ports or the combustion chambers that is not fully burning all of the fuel off.
