Hey guys,

Currently im having white smoke coming out of my exhaust when its idling. It happens quite rarely. Usually it happens when i boost it for like 5 seconds.. then when i stop at the lights idling, theres just white smoke coming out of the exhaust. Doesn't happen all the time tho.. what do you guys reckon? Some people i know were saying its the turbo seals. If its the turbo seals, is there anything that can be done besides changing a new turbo?

Cheers

Bernard

Thats not good man. Black smoke = ok... white smoke = bad :D

Good excuse to upgrade to a bigger turbo me thinks :D

yeh tell me about it.. sigh.. guess its a good reason to get a new turbo.. but im not financially ready yet.. any1 know where i can get a china turbo with a t3 flange with internal wastegate? :( i just want to get a new turbo and tune it so i can safely boost it around 1-1.1bar on cruises.. and i'll get a garrett when its like end of da year :D

Cheers

hey mate, u should get a second hand standard turbo for the time being, prob pick one up for 500 buks or sumfin, then u can use the money u saved on the turbo u really want??? just my 2 cents mate

are gt4's using t3 as standard turbos.. yeh i'll go check at toyota wreckers.. hopefully they got some gt4's lying around

didn't u buy the celica with the GT30 from CK? lol or did u skimp out bernard !!!! shoulda bought the GT30 man !

haha nah man din buy it.. wouldnt have made a big difference.. the amount of money to spend on making a new custom manifold and stuffs is wayyyy too much for just an extra 10-15hp

hmm.. that might help a bit.. i DO notice a bit of water coming out of exhaust sometimes.. whats it mean?

Usually just condensation buildup in the exhaust

Does it only come out at startup until warmed up? If so that's normal.

Water= steam usually and unless there is a heap of water you won't see it

I have no idea if its watercooled or not.. but there doesnt seem to be a water line going there..

i was driving in front of my gf, when i floor it, black smoke(its ok i hope, just running too rich i hope) when im cruising, its white smoke.. bollocks this its bollocksing scary..

i just dont want to have to spend like few grand.. i was ready to fix it up when i bought the car but not a FEW grand :D *RAGEEEEEEEEEEE*

It wont be a head gasket because the engine has only just been re built. The turbo was so on its way out as you were most prob aware which is why you are experiencing the smoke.

Either fix or change turbo and you will find its all good.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
