Smoking Problem!!

NicodermCQ or Smoke-Away? Seriously, I put Arias 9.5:1 pistons in my B18A a few months ago and everythings fine but when it's warming up from dead cold it smokes a good deal. But after you drive it for a while it stops smoking completely. I gapped my rings loose like we do all our turbo cars. At .018. The car is also turbocharged. Any ideas on what could be making my baby smoke? Besides those thugs down the street. hehe

Re:Smoking Problem!!

apparently a freshly rebuilt turbos will smoke some when breaking in. Maybe you just have a samll oil leak.

Re:Smoking Problem!!

Well, the turbo's got some miles on it. It was used when I got it. I'm thinking maybe just my loose ring gap.
