nice spec there mate,is it when shes hot cold or both,and have u noticed if she puts this white smoke out on over run

iTrader: (5)

prodriverules

iTrader: (52)

when youve give give it aboot full and climbrd through the revs and let off and the revs start to fall back down is it worse or the same

mazmike

iTrader: (5)

Who mapped it, and have you done a compression test?

prodriverules

iTrader: (52)

the thing is white smoke usually indicates water being burnt,is there smell to the smoke ie heavy petrol or does it smell kinda sweet,the reason i ask is it could be running lean which can have whitish grey colour which would smell like petrol or if its sweetish then that water/anti-freeze [engine coolant] being burnt

mazmike

dave rowe maped it is smells rich

prodriverules

iTrader: (52)

when avehicle runs rich it would have blue/black smoke so if it was me id go back and c him to ask if all the paramators are still in check like your lambda sensor and so on,sounds like something has gone amis though cause it might smoke abit on full chat and over run with your set up and power,it needs to be alittle rich but not white and not all the time.

mazmike

iTrader: (5)

ok could it be turbo sills

prodriverules

iTrader: (52)

wouldnt have thought so cause you would smell the oil in the smoke if shed gone,how old is the turbo?

mazmike

iTrader: (5)

was told it is very very low miles .i will take it back to subaru bristol

prodriverules

iTrader: (52)

can u smell oil in the smoke?or just petrol?

mazmike

iTrader: (5)

oil

prodriverules

iTrader: (52)

well now u say lol,it prob going to be turbo as running 1.5 is about the limit on that unit but cing as its anew build it could be something to do with that as well,how many miles she done fella.

mazmike

iTrader: (5)

i have done only 500 miles but turbo was already on it but running 1.1 bar did not smoke

prodriverules

iTrader: (52)

that seems abit soon to be pumping 1.5 bar through her,what power u running mate?run in time is usually 800/1000 miles befor you have full map done.

dazdavies

iTrader: (22)

Won't be a mapping issue as Dave proper knows his stuff.
It definately sounds like you've done an oil seal on the turbo.

mazmike

iTrader: (5)

got car off a mate he had engine done ran it in for 1000 miles then i got it and only done 500 miles i have had it 8 mouths put full cage spax coilovers toyos

prodriverules

iTrader: (52)

wouldnt doubt the guy daz only heard good stuff myself but dont u think 500 miles is abit soon to be full mapping afresh engine?

mazmike

iTrader: (5)

engine done 1500 miles

prodriverules

iTrader: (52)

my mistake fella i thought youd only done 500,well on that id defo take that turbo back to wear it came from caused its most likely that whats ****ed,took some time to get to the conclusion ah lol.
