Smoking On Warm Start Up?

I only smoke when my car is cold.

But, if you have some smoke, how long has it been happening? If you have worked on it recently, it'd be grease or oil burning off as it gets hot. Even a dirty hand on a dump pipe can make a noticeable amount of smoke when the engine is hot.

Is the image supposed to be related in any way?

hi there the image is just of my mate sticking his head in the way as i was fitting my FMIC ,as far as i know its only started to happen about 6 weeks ago ,it doesnt blow any smoke at all and runs good on start up when cold but after running for a while and i stop then hop back into car and start it up it doesnt want to start straight away when it does a puff of smoke comes out of the exhaust and thats it ,you can rev it up and get none ,it idles good and has full boost ,only owned the car for about 5 months if that really happy as its my first r32 but its only an auto but breaks traction in first three gears which i thought was bloody good so im bit concerned about this i dont drive it very hard at all as it has new tyres etc

Ah! Different story! I thought you had smoke in the engine bay or something... so that pic is completely unrelated in every way to the question. =-p

Ditto to Green s13... I wouldn't worry about that. You'd get plenty of that if you back off at high revs. Exhaust soot, basically.

what colour is the smoke, you say it doesn't start straight away if the smoke is black then it is just unburnt fuel from trying to kick over

smoke colour is bluey white only comes out ater its been run then turned off for a while then started then puff out it comes thats why i thought it mite be valve seals like oil getting into engine when warm then it gets burnt when started also in the last week or two ive notice black bits like soot on my back bar after given it a gut full on the way home from work

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
