no it would still be black

 

SO....I am confused. I went to a shop and they did a combustion Gas leak test....a test to see if the head gasket or head is blown/bad, they say everything is good, and that they could not get the car to blow smoke. I drove home and I put load on it and poof white smoke....what could this be? I really need some help here guys...

Thanks

I would have to agree that its most likely a coolant leak. Fuel doesn't look white that I've ever seen, and oil is always blue. And it would make sense since its under hard acceleration which would indicate high boost levels. Gotta love turbo cars!

 

I agree but I had a test done that specifically looked for coolant issues...I am so confused...

 

might be the turbo. clouds of white stinky smoke? not at idle but put your foot in it and you are in the clouds.


but you have no trouble with boost?

 

why not take it to the dealer, return your visible parts back to stock. You tried putting your stock fuel pump back in?? I dont know why you replaced your fuel pump anyways and are not tuned for it, pumps on the 9's are better than the 8's.

 

you dont have to get tuned for a new fuel pump i dont think.

either way it could be the seals on your turbo, which would put huge amounts of bluish smoke out, or as i said a pinhole leak in your headgasket.

A pinhole leak can pass the tests for a coolant leak, but once you get into boost it will force coolant through the hole and into the combustion chamber which ='s white smoke.

edit: nvm saw first post for mods.

 

Thanks guys, Limp i think that is what I am probably going to do me and some buddies are gonna put it back to stock and take it in. If you guys care I will keep you updated.

Also no issues with boost or overheating. But idle has been a lil weird lately, but its getting cold here.

 

why did you add a fuel pump on a IX? its not needed for what mods you have, especially only a 255lph

 

thats really weird about your idle. If it idles low when cold then thats bad. It should idle high when its cold to get the engine up to operating temps. Like everyone said return your car to stock and take it to a dealership.
