[RUNNIN-LOW]

alright my car is smoking like crazy.....its the white turbo smoke..what do you guys think is the problem....im so stressed out about my babe!!!!well let me know if anybody has a clue.. thanks

White = Water. Check compression for a bad head gasket.

-Doc

[Hanyo]

where is the white smoke coming from? exhaust or engine bay?

[presure2]

if your SURE its white, its coolant from somewhere.

[RUNNIN-LOW]

well its coming form the engine, right underneath the turbo..and alot of it goes out the exhaust..its seems like the turbo leaking oil too..man im going crazy...

[rjbibeau]

ya it kinda sounds like a head gasket to me. take off your radiator cap and see if it bubbles with the engine on.

ya i think i'm still selling it i just have to gather all of my stuff together. it's a shame that i have to let it go. i shoulda just dropped in a 3sgte. but eghh too late.

Could be a leaky connection under the turbo for the coolant and it's evaporating off the hot exhaust. Get in there and check it out.

[presure2]

run, what ru running for a turbo?
if its a ct-26, the coolant lines should be right there on the top side of the turbo.
what size are your oil feed and return lines?

[RUNNIN-LOW]

well i running the stock mr2 oil lines...i think its a 5 an for the return and a 3 an for the feed..i dont think i blew a seal..but that could be a good idea just to check it out. ill do that today at work and see the problem is

[presure2]

what exactly do you mean by "stock mr2 lines"? do you have a -3an line attached to the feed side, and using the stock return?(the stock return line is like 10an)

[RUNNIN-LOW]

yeah thats what i mean pressure..10an return and 3 an line inlet..well heres my finds about the white smoke..my heads not leaking. i just found out that my head gasket was metal and that nothing coming out of the head. i guess they change it..so now im thinking i busted a turbo seal..man that totally suck even more.....
thanks pressure ill try to figure out more about what the problem is till then thanks for helping me out bro...

no, he has a turbocharged 5sfe, which is a 5sfte....check out his profile

this problem could be alot more simple than you guys are making it out to be. Just out of curiousity how are you running your pcv, RUNNIN-LOW? are you venting it to atmosphere or are you recirculating it? Do you have anything else recircing to the intake?

[/QUOTE]

yeah doge im recicing the air back i to the bov. is that what your talking about. i found out the problem already. its like what pressure was telling me too much oil going into the turbo. bought the fittings and bam!! stop smoking..checkd out the head change that in to the trd head gasket. check the turbo in leaks.. figure it was a oil probem so i limited the oil to the turbo and yeah there you go. it stop smoking white stuff.....

[StreetRacing10PS...]

iam having the same problem, white smoke coming out of my exhaust on my 7afte. its not the turbo seals because i just got my turbo rebuilt less then a month ago
