help white smoke
 

So, here's the deal. Not my car, it's a boyz car, but I can't figure out what the hell is wrong.

He's got a 90 acura integra with a b16a motor and we put the t3/t4 turbo kit on running 8psi with a fmu right after the first start up and drove,boosting it a few times and all of a suddent it started to blowing white smoke

I know oil is usually blue smoke, so what the hell could have happened? Something relating to the engine? Any thoughts would be great.

Re:help white smoke
 

does it have a weird smell to it like waffles? thats usually antifreeze or water i would check it

Re:help white smoke
 

White smoke = coolant = head gasket. Do a compression check.

Re:help white smoke
 

yup it does have a funny weird smell to it so that means the head gasket is no good

Re:help white smoke
 

it might be the the turbo, my turbo got messed up and it poured a bunch of white smoke out, but yeah i agree do a comression check

Re:help white smoke
 

Check your oil return and make sure it's pointed down otherwise the oil will back up in the turbo and spit it out the exhaust in the turbo. Therefore causing white smoke but not from coolant.

Hehe, ever change a H.G? Now you'll get to. How many miles were on this engine when you boosted it? Definately check out the oil return line like NYC88ZC said, I had that happen as well, but it was more of a bluish color. I'll bet the headgasket blew though.

My money is on the head gasket.

Re: help white smoke
 

so setup is allmost dialed in.
Came here via the search function.
Did you figure out what it was.

I went thru all the regular stuff.
1. Coolant was clean no oil.
2. Did a compresion check all cylinders fine.
3. Checked oil return line and oil restrictor in.

Questions.
1. Is it possible for the head gasket to leak and still have clean clear coolant.
2. It smells like burnt oil more than burnt coolant. The problem was much worse before I put the oil restrictor in.
3. My mates turbo smokes but once its warmed up it runs fine. Mine wont smoke till the car has been riden really hard for some time.
