hello guys,
i have a 04 350z roaster,68k miles on it.
it's got turbonetic kit on, and just recently change the mushroom for the intake.
car had set there for few day and whether drop a lot in these days.
yesterday i start the car, and after just around, there are a lot of gray smoke coming out of one of the pipe, and today as i drive more, i notice the smoke is out when i am on gas paddle. the check engine was on couple weeks back, code saying one bank running rich, which is the side that smoke coming out of. any body can help here?
thanks.

 

Hmmm... Is it possible that you are running rich on one side? Maybe the side that the smoke is coming out of?
Try fixing whatever is causing that.

 

if you got a turbonetics kit , than both exhaust sides merge before the turbo, so you cant point to which side smokes just by looking at the exhaust....

your turbo could be shot and smoking oil,

 

This is just my .02, and I'm just taking a wild guess here...

Maybe the smoke is being caused by the poor vocabulary and grammar used in the Z owner's posts. The Z is trying to express its discomfort and irritation with its owner, in a way that will also get the owner to possibly sell the car. It is very much possible that the lack of reading skills had a big impact on his installment approach for his turbo kit, caused by misinterpretations of the instructions, leading to a bad install. However I am only 17 years old, so my opinion does not make much of an impact in the car community.










joking around here btw

 

understand, but the problem is only one side, the left hand side pipe have smoke coming out of it... and that does match the rich bank... and what's i have no idea about what cause the rich..

 

don't know what is cuasing it, what can cuasing it tho?
O2 senor runs pretty normal by looking at the graph. (just got tested today)
what else can causing it?

 

Sorry to hear about your misfortune of buying used Z with TN kit.

Sell it while it still runs, cut losses, do research next time.

 

why is that? it was running really well..
but suddenly ...
