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 djr81 · Posted

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
