CAN a rich idle cause some smoking?
CAN a rich idle cause some smoking?
After warming up the car will smoke a little, but i realized while i was standing there watching the car start to smoke a little, i realized my eyes were BURNING!!
The smoke is not enought to to go flowing across the street but kinda vaporizes.
I also tried this trick my firned taught me.( i put a lighter right under the tip of the exhaust so it wouldnt get blown out--- and i soon and i flicked the lighter the flame actually goes into the exhaust can about 2 inches instead of blowing out.)
so im pretty sure im too rich at idle. the smoke is greyish
i just recently put a stage 3 hybrid on it. could a bigger turbo cause a rich mixture?
the turbo is the only thing i have done.. since it started smoking a little.

Yeah sounds like a major rich condition at idle, that'll cause fuel smoke. Same as when you go WOT running pig rich, you'll see fuel smoke. You got bigger injectors or a chip/custom cal/etc?
Basicly im trying to figure out if my turbo is good or bad at this moment.
need to know if the smoke is from a) a bad turbo seal or b) too rich from just installing a hybrid turbo.
Oh and i have not gone WOT since i have a bigger turbo with no boost controller nor and added fuel upgrades- yet
I was saying i reved it to 7 k. free reving. and on down rev it smoked pretty darn bad.
