Started my car up this morning had smoke white i think. thought ok Cold startup.
Went out and went to come home and started it again from being left for 2-3 hours and when revin it was blowing a far bit of smoke out.
its been doing this for a while now.
I had it remaped about 1 month ago maybe less.

Any ideas.
Its a 2003 WRX Decatted exhaust system and REMAp.

My mate said it smelt of fuel but im not to sure


It does this every day

Give em a ring and voice your concerns mate. Knowlsey and the gang are a great bunch, they'll soon get it sorted.

I dont think subrau can detect the remap.

XR-Wayne

any one got a sort of idea of what it could be

Neilo

knackered turbo? major overfuelling? dodgy sensors? could be anything...

XR-Wayne

Cars Done 14,000 so hope it aint the Turbo.
Could this happin if its not left to cool down for long enough??

Neilo

maybe, could be a seal broken somewhere.....what boost is the car running after the map?

XR-Wayne

It hits about 1.4Bar but only holds about 1.0-1.2 Bar

Neilo

sounds a bit high for a TD04.....i wouldnt have thought that that much variation is good though? only holding 1.0bar seems low though? as PPP boost is 1.1bar.....

have you had it RR'd yet? if so what boost did it hold on the rollers? or was it all over the place?

XR-Wayne

Didnt have it on the RR.

id say it defo hold about 1.1Bar Gauge does do to 1.4 tho but doest hold that

XR-Wayne

Spoke to Knowlsey today.Very helpfull.
All it is is oil stting on the valves and when i blip the throttle it opens it.
It clears once i stsrt driving so all is ok.

Have you got a knocklink mate? If not, I'd get one ASAP. It will help you see any problems before they do any damage. It's important to keep an eye on things in a modd'd car!

Subaru UK may not be able to see the map, but a drive would make it obvious and the exhaust would be a dead giveaway!!

my mate just told me it was puffin LOADSSSS of smoke out last night

After my car had a full decat and remap it also seemed to produce a lot of white-ish smoke at times. And the exhaust fumes really stunk all the time- really bad smell when reversing or stood in traffic. Since fitted a power Engineering Sports centre cat and smoke and smell have gone (it also just scrapes through mot emissions!).

White/grey smoke = oil.
Black smoke = rich mixture.

There should be no smoke so either will need looking into.

Cheers. Mark.
