Hi guys, the other night i was driving my r32 gts and it randomly started blowing heaps of white smoke, smelling like burning coolant or brake fluid, it did this for about 5 mins after i had been boosting my car a bit, but then stopped, and it hasnt done it since, i have checked all fluid levels, and they are all staying constant, there is also no sign of water or coolant in the oil, or any oil or "milky" look to the coolant...

I was wondering if anyone has had something similar happen to their car, as it has totally stumped me

cheers guys

Hmm, correct me if i am wrong but heaps of white smoke usually means turbo. especially if you were boosting it..

I am guessing it is on its way out..

Not sure why it would have just stopped, but i am guessing a bit of oil managed to sneak past a seal.

Like i said, correct me if i am wrong

dude if your water level is stil the same, oil hasnt mixed with the water etc, AND ur car is not over heating than i very much doubt it would be ur head gasket. u can always get a test to make sure. but ide bet my money on turbo seals.

Head gasket would show signs like, over heating or heating up fast, milky oil, or milky residue under the oil cap, oily water in the radiator and so forth.

Check that and the turbo to make sure it hasn't blown an oil seal like people have suggested.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
