Folks,

I just pulled onto the highway and keep the car in 3rd doing 4,000 rpm for about 2 minutes, then floored it for a few seconds, <5 and looked behind to see a massive amount of smoke. I let off and the smoke was gone, then few minutes later I hit the gas again to see if I would see anything and nothing..

On idle their is a faint amount of smoke, but it's always done this as far as I can tell.

What could it have been ?.. sorry for the next silly question, but I'm new, how can I tell if the motor blew? I hope it's not this.

Car is a '93 puts out about 330rwhp with usual mods and PFIC.

Thanks

i find if if i putt around and then give it a thrashing it will usually pump out a heap of fuel smoke because the plugs get fouled up. as with your case usually the 2nd or 3rd time i floor it it ceases.

i doubt it's your engine... though it could also be the turbo seals

Typically, it's a problem with the turbos if you only see it when boosting.

That's how mine started and it only got worse. It was, well still is, my turbos. I have a set at the Rx7Store getting rebuilt. If your worried it's the motor then go get the compression tested. My guess from the info you gave is that it's your turbos.

but yes, if your smoke is white it will most likely mean the turbos
