Hi guys,
My car smokes a bit when i am on full boost.. This i have been told by many an enthusiast ( following my car ) and by mechanics alike that is is just unburnt fuel as my ECU is a JAM racing one and so it runs rich for safety..
How ever, i was cruising along at idle earlier ( saving fuel to get to the petrol garage lol ) and i noticed some smoke. i then came to a stop.. my idle seemed to drop just north of 600 Rpm... It then started to let a little smoke out, i then blipped the throttle and it seemed quite a bit of greyish smoke that came out.. it didn't smell to good either..
What could this be ? i ahve never owned a car that smoked a idle..
Could this be turbo oil seals at a guess ??
any help would be much appreciated, i am thinking of selling the car soon and want it sorted when i sell it so i am happy the new owner has a Very decent car..
please help me lads i know there are loads of smoke questions but i have never read any with smoke at idle..
car is an EP91.. full exhaust from turbo back, stainless mani on turbo.. Tmic. dump valve . Hks actuator . JAM RACING Ecu its running 1.0 bar.. made 171 Hp at 0.8 bar this was with a restrictive HKS superdragger on it,, it now has a japspeed system... clive atthowe ( http://enginetuning.net/ ) is where i had it dynoed and he said it was one of the helathlyest glanza's he had seen. had sparks, leads, oil filter and oil changed when it was there. this was under 2 months ago..
Thanks,
Topher
