I was at VIR this past weekend and am having white smoke billowing out of the passenger side exhaust, car is throwing codes p1065 and p0430.

Being driven very hard, didn't hear a pop - although I may have been too focused. White smoke starts coming out after hard accelaration.

It doesn't sound like its missing or knocking, nor is it idling or running weird. The only thing I've noticed is that it doesn't boost like it used to. Could I have f'd the turbo itself? Or is it something like a head gasket?

Its a JWT 530 kit and built motor.

Any direction is appreciate and if you need further details let me know specifically.

I really really appreciate the help!

 

If its blowing smoke all the time then yes you blew a turbo.

I had the same thing happen to me when I had a GN back in the days

 

Why aren't you at work?

Sounds like the turbo, do you see any coolant temp spike?

See you at F:T

 

I got a promotion - Director of Operations. So, I am working on lisencing and utility service for #1300 today.

No auditing, that will happen tomorrow. Believe me, I don't get many day's off. Even if I'm not there, I'm still prone to get 3-5 calls a day, every day. Up to 3 so far today lol


No coolant spike, except when it first started up, but then after running for 15 seconds it came back down to normal levels. But, on a hot day or after running, then shutting off, it does that sometimes anyway.

yeah, I'll be at F:T sometime in the spring.

 

Check PCV. Crankcase pressure elevated? Catch can full?

 

You promoted yourself? 'ATTA BOY

Time for a new EMS too...get rid of the SS box. My UTEC will be coming out this spring too. Group buy FTW?

 

I'm not familiar - what's PCV? Catch can was/is 3/4 full

Yep, not in the store full time ftw.

I am going to talk to Dave about what woudl be good. What are you switching to?

 

That much oil in the catch can sounds bad, similar to Jet's motor.

Good luck finding the issue(s), I'm sure Dave will be able to get you all fixed up.

 

Thinking Haltec or Autronic, whatever is better and safer and whatever Dave is better at tuning. I know the stock motor (aka rods) is a ticking time bomb, I'd rather the fuse be longer. How much is a stock motor replacement nowadays?

Dave was saying the Innovates read 1.0 richer? He said I should switch to an Autronic based sensor...if this is true I'm running waaaay lean.

I have that cat in there and I have seen 12.1-12.3's when it dips to below 30 outside. The Innovate is downstream of the cat.

I think Haltec looks the best right now, I have no info on Autronic. Not 100% sure Dave is a Haltec dealer.

 

Well, I usually empty the catch can when I change the oil or once inbetween changes. But I haven't emptied it since I last changed the oil, and that has been since... November? I only drive the car every other week, for about 20 miles, so it isn't getting a whole lot of usage.

Yep. I have full confidence in Dave. My wallet is already hurting from the track weekend (the trip to Vegas the week before didn't help much either), so it may be a couple weeks before I can do anything about it anyway.

 

Time for a little check up. Hopefully not too bad. Start with the basics such as plugs, leaks, and compression/leak tests.
