first link is vid

 

Well I will state the obvious from my non mechanical background. It looks like you are burning something and it definitely isn't normal.

 

looks like you're burnin oil (smell?)or somebody put sonmething in your tail pipes. any enemies? **** anybody off lately?

 

maybe its oil..nice car btw

 

without looking at the vid, does the smoke linger? or does it dissipate/evaporate?

Is there new exhaust? How many miles since the kit was put on?

 

it lingers. and its stock exhaust. i drove the car for prolly like 10 miles since i put the kit, but kit is used...i called japtrix the said its normal but im definetely not driving my car around with that much smoke coming out

 

Looks like youre burning oil. Might be a valve seal.

 

Mine smokes alot when cold outside (white smoke along with I always let the car get warm before driving), but goes away after 30 mins of driving.

Actually it can smoke too when some what being cold out, though not as much and also goes away.

I don't or won't consider it to be a issue until it is smoking all the time, having no cats and running boost I have always been aware or extra smoke from time to time.

So you drove for 10 mins, do you let your car warm up before you drive? What is the temps outside? Does it always smoke? Or does it eventually go away? Does it spit anything out of the tail pipes at idle? Is there build up or oil in the pipes?

it smokes about after 5 10 minutes of drving im florida and its pretty hot here... and i had the car running for about 8 minutes then i took vid and also i think i put too much oil in i drained it out and put 4 quarts only too make sure i didnt put too much. i cant really read the dip stick synthetic is hard to see...

 

idk its pretty bad i have everyone staring at me i had my friend come over to see if my car is fine cause he had his friend calling him telling him it looked like i blew my motor...my engine and boost is running perfect but smoke definetely needs to go away..

 

No kidding, the dipstick sucks monkey ***** on telling the level... I used to check it from the dipstick from which is seemed fine... But when changing my oil I found from putting 6 qts. in I was getting only like 5 qts. back out

Also I wasn't thinking you had too much oil, just that if the turbo oil seal was ruined it would be spitting/accumulating some oil in the exhaust.

Huh? You only put 4 quarts of oil? Doesn't stock require 5? I use 6 because I have a oil pan spacer.

Oh and I def. wouldn't be putting less oil in my car.

 

whoever said valve seal,,,,,no.

sounds like the turbo oil seal is gone.

also, you don't want to run too little oil.

run a MINIMUM of 5 quarts! if you have a spacer, 6!

too much oil won't affect the turbo like that. And I don't think you'd be spitting it out the exhaust either.

 

I wouldn't be listening to that friend

If the engine and boost are running fine your motor is not "blown".

 

i didnt have cup to measure b ut i put around 5 quarts i have spacer in and aps site says 5 so it should be 5 dipstick doesnt show anything its pointless pulling it out. i told japtrix turbo seal they said no thats not it...maybe cause turbo hasnt been run in like 4 months? it taked time to recirculate?

 

?


no i said his friend saw me driving with smoke everywhere and called him and he showed up at my house cause his friend said my engine is blown

 

100% your sump isnt working, the oil is flooding the turbo causing it to spill over into the exhaust. check the sump pump connections.

now your gonna have to drop the downpipe and exhaust and clean it all out as best you can.

 

We have had to fix some self installs and one thing that has been common in them is the installation and wiring of the oil pump, check that to make sure it is correct and also make sure the connections are good and cannot come undone.

Being a used kit you run the danger of having a bad turbo seal, also which check valve do you have? The later selonoid? or old version check valve?

 

used kit, 06 Z, wiring may be different, oil solenoid i believe.

 

i have new check valve and i think too much oil is getting in to i wired into the black wire yellow trace
