Hi ppl

just recently i have noticed that if im in 2nd gear and i flat foot it, around 4-5k the car starts to backfire heaps..and also if im going like 100km and on 4th if i allow the car keep boosting, and change to 5th...generally i see flames out of the exhaust and soon after white smoke. I thought it might be the turbo thats blown and hence the white smoke, but ive tested the turbo and turbo seems to working fine.

as for mods, sitting on 9-10 psi using 32 actuator, fmic, zorst, no bov, everything is else standard.

i understand that the flame is due to fuel and white smoke - water..

but any clue as to why it would do this?

also i have just bought an ecu, so after a good tune i suppose this should go away?

cheers.

i still have the standard ecu at the moment. i hav bought a wolf 3d..havnt installed it yet, but will be in the coming weeks.

also i dont have a cat..straight 3" exhaust system, jus find it less restrictive than a hi flow system.

another mate did say it could be due to timing. and no i havnt checked base timing.

ok so the flames are due to not having the cat, but why the white smoke soon after? once it was pouring out..i had to wait a min and turn of the car, so it would stop. after i started the car it was gone.

the next day i checked all fluid levels. all was normal. so what could that have been?

cheers thanks for the past replies..really helpful :thumbsup:

Could be a spark related problem if its actually misfiring.

Good threads on that.

cheers thanks for that..

after reading the threads above..it sort of looks like i have a fair few cracks in the coil packs. I will suss that out tomorrow and tape it as some of the guys have done in the past as a temporary solution.

will keep posted.

just finished taping up the coils, running the standard 10psi without any misfiring.

since i couldnt locate any of these so called 'hair line' cracks..i decided to tape up all 6 and yes has worked wonders..red line on 1st - 2nd - 3rd..no misfiring at all, now im happy as larry.. lol

thanks to everyone that has helped me along with this problem and to everyone on the couple of threads linked above.

cheers :)

still anyone know why white smoke comes out immediately after a huge back fire?

is this just water? or something else?

since misfire problem has been solved, i have gone for a few hard runs and havnt heard backfire, flames or white smoke for that matter..just puff of black smoke durin the 1st run.

but would still like to know what the white smoke is? anyone..

cheers

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
