white smoke is usually something dodgy with the engine but i would have thought it would be more so under load it would blow white smoke not just when its cold are you are its not like vapour ??? also black smoke is generally when its running rich

White is oil

Black is fuel

Blue is a combo of both....

Once i had to start this little datto 120Y that had not started in 2 years... I blew rusty brown smoke for about 5 minutes... LOL

Id say ifs its only blowing when cold. Could be a turbo seal givin out or a piston oil ring a bit worn... If youwant do a comp test when the engine is cold. Take this reading, then pump a touch of oil into each piston threw the spark plug hole, then do the comp test again. This will prove if its the piston rings and if yes then which piston is doing most of the mischafe... If the results are within 10% of the original test with out oil. Id blame a sel in the turbo....

Cheers Col

Blue is old-old-old oil dude... (thanks why 80's flacons blow blue, cause they were'nt serveced this centry... LOL)

New clean oil is white....

water will be condinsation, we just confirmed its smoke not condensation....

blue smoke is really a combo of oil and fuel....

as i stated above...

white is oil

blue is fuel and oil

black is fuel

Go and burn some oil using a wick and see what colour smoke their is.....

actually knackaz is right, blue is oil, black is fuel and white is water/coolant.

thats what i was taught at trade school by my lecturers who'd been in the trade for over 30 years so you'd think they'd be right.

:headspin:

:rofl:

white SMOKE.... SMOKE

read above before posting.....

Water/coolant is vapor, it will dissapear within a second of leaving the exhaust. Would not even see it from inside the car.

Go and burn some oil and see what colour it produces.... Dab a bit on your exhaust manifold and watch it smoke and then come back and tell me what colour it is....

I also admitted that blue smoke could be a sign of fuel and oil.....

In a skyline reving fuel is common to blow out.... More fuel may even cause a flash....

Ive had a fire in my exhaust before..... Busted the cat and destroyed the muffler.... But yeah.. Too much fuel and oil is a bad thing... LOL

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
