started it up and there was shit loads of smoke!
anyone got any tips for making my engine less smokey? It is a 1.6 CRX with turbo conversion, on idle it is poring out white, greyish smoke. Fuel PSI is at about 45PSI and 390cc injectors are in being controlled by SAFC set to about -30% its smells to rich thou and cuts out on idle if i set the SAFC any lower. Any of you guys got smokey engines when you started up your turboed car? It only seems to have happened since i put the injectors in also
thanks |

Well white smoke means your burning coolant or water. But if it's black, thats your engine running rich.

did it smoke before the turbo?
if it didnt then either your oil pressure is too high or your turbo oil seals are blown. oil smoke is bluish white, white smoke is coolant burning, usually from a blown headgasket. |

i ran into the same problem with a intake manifold gasket that was leaking. If it didnt smoke before than there is no reason that it should be a problem with the motor. is the turbo water cooled?

It could be a clogged or kinked oil drain, that made mine smoke like hell

i will tighten up the inlet manifold tonight i have a strange feeling that could be it you know. Do turbos smoke when u first install them anyway? The smoke wasnt as bad the other day. but still have oil in my actuator pipe!>!?!?! Mmmm
