I've noticed that when i'm boosting above around 4000rpm, there's crap flying out of my exhaust. It kinda looks like a cloud of dust or something and it doesn't happen everytime i'm boosting.

My car doesn't have smoke on startup, or spit that crap out under about 4000rpm.

Can anyone enlighten me on what it could be and how i might be able to fix it?

Yeah you might want to look at a new engine, new turbo or the fuel your using...

Could also be need for a service, you havnt serviced it enough or just new oil.. could also be a seal but i doubt it as you would see smoke on start up ..

so you got abit to look at but hopefully its just oil hey

i know i'm running waaaay too rich, so hopefully that's just the problem. it seems like it only does it once or twice after starting up before clearing up.

i'm in need of getting it serviced - so that could also contribute to it.

I was installing the numberplate on the rear of my car and looked in the exhaust and could see the insides of my canon were coming apart. I used a pair of pliers and pulled all this perforated metal out that was blocking the outlet. Then started the engine and gave it a few revs and all this fine dust came out in a big cloud. The canon is obviously rooted but its not noisy so meh

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
