My friend was behind me today and said everytime I gunned it in every gear there was a very large cloud of smoke that came out from my exhaust. These r my mods:

*Pettit Racing 1.3L 13B-REW street ported engine w/3mm apex seals.

*99' J-spec ceramic coat, ported and blueprinted twin turbos.

*NGK leading and trailing platnium plugs.

*10mm Magnacore spark plug wires.

*Upgraded Goodyear boost and vacuum hoses.

*Pettit Racing cold air intake.

*Pettit Racing 3" stainless steel downpipe.

*Pettit Racing aluminum coolant AST.

*ACT extreme clutch.

*Pettit Racing 8.5lbs flywheel.

*Pettit Racing 60/40 short shifter.

*HKS Super SEQ BOV kit.

*Koyo radiator.

*RX7 Trix battery relocation kit.

*Blit Dual Turbo Timer w/harness

The motor with all the parts motor wise has about 50,000 miles on it. I tried searching but didnt really now what to search for. Do u think it could be my stock cat blowing out carbon or do u think that my turbo seal might be leaking? Its about 50 degrees outside right now although I dont know if that even matters. Just need to know if you guys can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

could be running too rich? what ecu are u running???
or it could be bad turbos?
I had that problem and it was the turbos...

What color is the smoke?

white = Coolant leak
Black = Running too rich... (for me this is good at WOT)... its safer...
Bluish = Oil leak

now.... what is it??

My guess is the turbos. How many miles on them? Do they smoke during boost or in between shifts after boosting?
Also, check your fluid levels more often for signs of consumption.

Well Im not sure what color the smoke is...Ill try to figure that one out as soon as possible. It usually happens during boost it stops between shift. about 50,000 on turbos can they be blown already? I usually dont notice a drop in oil level until around 2000 to 2500 miles between oil changes.....but Im not always WOT either...but I thought that was normal. As far as my coolant its been at the same level for the past three weeks. Didnt move an inch.

Try and figure out what color the smoke is. That will narrow down the possibilities. Also, check around in the engine bay for any leaks. (Possibly oil leaking on hot parts during boost?) As far as the twins life potential, I'm not sure. I've heard of stock twins lasting anywhere from 30k to 120k miles.(Mine were pulled out at 86k)
Hopefully someone knowledgable (ie:Mahjik or Karack) would drop by this thread and give you some ideas. Maybe a good excuse to go single???

No leaks in engine bay, its not coolant smoke....it doesnt have that sweet smell to it and its not black smoke....it does have a bluish tint to it though. I thought it might have been too much fuel but I couldnt really tell...plus like u guys said no black smoke at WOT. I guess my turbos might be the culprit. Are there any ways to check that, cause my boost is right where it should beand nothing seems to be going crazy with the turbos?

My turbos boosted great even when they were smoking. When the seals go out in them, oil leaks past the seals into the housing causing smoke under load or right after. I'm no expert on how to tell if turbo's are toast or not. Also, take off one of your IC pipes and check for oil inside them. That's a good sign too. Good luck with the fix, I hope it's nothing major.

take the intake pipes off and check for shaft play in the turbos.

The smoke is deff. a bluish tint at least that is what it looks like on start up. After the car is warm it goes away alittle. U really dont notice it unless I go WOT. I took off my intercooler piping and noticed a slight film of oil in it and I notice some at thre mouth of my blow off valve. I was hoping that it wasnt that but I guess my turboes might be shot.
