Went to the track again today, ran a lot better, but when I crossed the finish line, my car huffed a huge cloud of smoke. After I got my et slip, I noticed my car was still smoking bad. It doesn't smell like coolant. The color of the smoke is like a blueish/white color, and I know it stinks so bad, I can't even breathe it in. So I drive my car home right away and notice when I shift it huffs a smoke cloud everytime. seems like it does this when I step on the gas. So I get it back to my house and notice it is still smoking idling, so I rev it up a couple of times, and the smoke gets worse. Any ideas guys? I also noticed when I shut the car off, it doesn't want to restart. I have to let it sit for about an hour before it will restart again. I do have a fuel pump cut off switch installed, and even using that it is still hard to get it started. were as before I had no probs getting it started warm or cold with the switch before. I don't want to drive the car again until I hear from you guys as to what you guys think it could possibly be. any input is appreciated

Oil control rings most likey..

sneakyasian

sounds like you ran too much boost. (weren't you running like 12 lbs?) rebuild...
blue/white smoke= expensive.

I would say oil control rings wearing out.

so another words...I'm screwed. So now that I need a new engine, how much installed am I looking at for a new one? I know atkins rotary has our engines for about 1100.

Atleast you didnt blow an apex seal, when that happens it usually takes out a rotor housing, which is even more $$$.

You can also do a streetport while your in there..

they are on either side of your rotor's, to fix em, got to tear apart the motor

IeatV8s

so then I guess you guys reccomend I don't drive the car anymore, cuz the situation isn't going to get any better?

I have to say, great job with the 13.6. Im impressed. I remember when you were running 16.0. Awesome decrease in time.

Sorry about the engine. You can rebuild yourself, but an experienced shop may be better for you, they do it RIGHT the first time. It will probably be a lot of $$$. Sorry.

i'll rebuild it for you. that includes extend street port, oil mod, atkins thermal pellet, and viton seals, and a couple other things. Pull the motor yourself, you'll save alot of money..

OMG we f*$%ing told you last time you posted that your 550 secondary injectors are making you run rich!! Do you need to see fuel droplets coming out your tailpipes of see your turbo manifold get red hot before you put your stock ones back in?!?@!?! blue / white clouds of smoke and a really stinky exhaust mean too much fuel, along with sucky performance.

BDoty311

Youd better apologize, thats the wrong guy. The guy you are referring to had an n/a running turbo secondaries running 17s.

BDoty311

nevermind, im an idiot.

IeatV8s

i was going to say, I have bigger problems then running to rich. How much of a pain is it to pull the motor myself?

IeatV8s

could I have possibly blown the turbo? it still spools ok

88IntegraLS

Well either way, you are right and I was thinking of the NA guy. Sorry IeatV8s I had you mixed up with someone else! I still think you are running rich but sounds like the motor needs some more attention than a tweak to the fuel map.



It is easy to pull a motor. A one day job at max if you have a rafter and comealong or engine hoist.
