My car is running really rich, however when I fire it up sometimes it spits out a lot of black shite. I assume this is just carbon deposits that built up in the cat. When I reved it before it was totally warm, it gave a slight puff of snow white smoke. My fuel pump is dieing and I intend on putting a new one in on the weekend and getting it retuned shortly after.

hmm white smoke, that doesnt sound good.

If your fuel pump is dieing you wont be running rich you would be leaning out, so im not sure why ur blowing black smoke, i get black smoke under heavy accerealtion due to running very very rich. also getting it when revin it abit when it just sitting there

Does it give white smoke everytime, u rev it when its cold?

Edited by Gts_evilution

all cars will blow white smoke before they are totally warm.. merely condensation within the exhaust system heating up and coming out.

if it blows white smoke after a say 10 minute drive. then you'l be looking for either seal on turbo or head gasket problems.

Ahh sweet yeah it was only really when it's warming up that I get white smoke, and black goo (which looks like pure carbon). After it's warmed up I get black clouds when accelerating. Thanks for that guys.

Do flames ever come out from the exhaust?

I think mine just had some carbon deposits which is why the fuel system cleaner got rid of it. Hit www.nulon.com.au and check out the fuel system cleaner.

Also, how does your oil look? and when did you change your oil last?

Black smoke on boost means its running rich.

so its not neccesarily something to be extremely worried about...like its not the engine dying etc...

he told me that with a turbo you want it to be running a bit rich...that accurate?

from what i've been told by my mechanic mate, grey smoke is more the car being cold, and condensation.

black smoke = burning fuel and white = burning oil...

so it doesnt matter if its black or white , its bad

lol

Close.

Black smoke = carbon, IE running rich

Bluish-white smoke = burning oil

Pure white smoke = burning coolant

As has been mentioned, white smoke during a cold start is normal from exhaust condensation.

i have a short video clip of a skyline idling...if someone is able to host it for me (its about 4mb) would you guys be able to tell me what the smoke is, and if its a problem etc...

or i could send it to you if you give me your msn

thanks for that mate...ok guys so i took that vid when checkin the car out...

it was on a cold start, ice cold engine basically, hadn't moved. had just been washed and was basically still a bit wet on the body. umm, that was just AFTER it had been revved n stuff. when it was revved that same color smoke just got a bit thicker...then died down to what u see in the idel vid..

so what are your thoughts? bad? nothing to even worry about?

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • 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)?
