    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    lol yeah, but i honestly ended up just doing my turbo. Ive ruled out my HG I highly doubt that is a problem. Gonna do a head refresh this upcoming winter, want as much driving time as possible. Summers short aha

    i can relate. Worse feeling ever and then you end up not making it and having to wait another day lol lol

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    Im aware what a wet and dry test is. Ive pulled my spark plugs and each piston looks dry.I have not pulled my exhaust manifold yet as im swapping turbos and have also decided to get my head machined and valve stem seals done as well as a head gasket. Might as well do everything itll...

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    Honestly dont think its Valve stem seals tbh. People say a bad valve stem seal would smoke as soon as you start it after sitting a night since the oil drips into the combustion chamber, in my case it doesnt smoke until 2-5 minutes of idle which really leads me to the turbo. The smoke is white...

    2G milky brown oil in oil catch can?

    update, emptied it just today and theres actually not that much anymore as the weather becomes hotter. So thinking its just condensation. Also smells like gas which i first got concerned about but i thought about it but its just the gas vapors and all that that makes it smell like that? Doesnt...

    2G milky brown oil in oil catch can?

    Hmm, tbh it was mostly water. Ill put it in a clear cup next time i empty it and take a pic of it^^

    2G milky brown oil in oil catch can?

    Yes, replacing the turbo as soon as my exhaust manifold studs come in cause one broke, so might as well just replace all of them LOL. Ill most likely end up replacing the stem seals as well, maybe pull the whole head off for a new HG as well. this smoke gives me all the reasons to replace these...

    2G milky brown oil in oil catch can?

    Its still smoking, a lot less when warmed up. My conclusion comes to a bad turbo seal. After sitting a night, cold start it does not smoke right away, not till like 2-5 minutes then it starts smoking white. Its not coolant as it has no sweet smell what so ever. Thinking oil, read somewhere oil...

    2G milky brown oil in oil catch can?

    i dont know if he removed the baffles of the VC or not, ill ask and see what he says. As for the catch can size it is like, the size of a soda can. Its one of those Mishimoto catch can reps, baffled as well. Blocked off the hose that went into the manifold with a screw. Its filling up quick...

    2G milky brown oil in oil catch can?

    !! THANK YOU. i was really worried thinking my hg was blown but as long as its normal for cans okok. My oil cap doesnt do it so im good aha. Ive daily driven this the past week, after 5 days of installing the can it filled up to almost half, what are your thoughts on that?
  11. Allen2g

    2G milky brown oil in oil catch can?

    more questions more questions lol. So i went to empty out my catch can today and it was almost half way full after 4-5 days, is that normal? Also the oil is a brown milky color.I have it setup where i deleted the PCV valve with a straight barb fitting which routes to the can, the other...

    Thank you! Made it clear aha

    2G Oil Catch can questions

    Yesss thats what im talking about lol. Delete pcv with a barb, then run that towards the can, the other port to the can then get the vacuum from the intake pipe. What im wanting to know is whether itd be okay to run that setup for a daily driven 2g gst. I really like that setup as its a single...

    2G Oil Catch can questions

    Do you not delete the pcv valve for this setup with one can.
  15. Allen2g

    2G Oil Catch can questions

    thats the thing, i dont want to be running two catchcans so i wanted to do that 3rd se tup on calan's thread. which is deleting the pcv with a barb fitting then run that to the can, the other breather port to the can then get the vacuum source from intake pipe
  16. Allen2g

    2G Oil Catch can questions

    Yeah, exactly that setup but i read that "Is crankcase pressure really high enough to warrant bypassing the PCV valve and running extra VC lines? Measure it!" My crankcase pressure is not too high where my dipstick pops out so i gave a it a second thought and maybe a single line from the...

    2G Oil Catch can questions

    Just wanting to make sure, ive read many threads and all the answers were either do it or dont do it so im confused now LOL. I bought a 3 port baffled catch can (mishimoto rep) was wanting to replace the pcv with a free flowing barb fitting then run a line from that to one of the 'in' ports on...

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    Also i wanted to ask your guys opinion on my catch can setup. Ive done some research but all the answers are 50/50 which really confuses me. Im wanting to replace the pcv valve with a free flowing barb fitting and run that to the catch can. the other vent/fitting to the catch can as well then...

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    that would be great aha, there is still smoke which is kinda not normal. Gets worse when it gets colder lol, still might replace my turbo just for peace of mind aha
  20. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    lol lol, i hope so man. Smoke has never stressed me out this much ahaha
  21. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    More update, so its really warm today and theres little smoke now lol. I think im just overthinking and tripping out. And the coolant im loosing is i think from my coolant neck and some from my coolant feed to the turbo.. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. ahaha.
  22. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    lol i was thinking of doing the same but i think it is burning some oil as well, gonna check the oil level later today and make sure.
  23. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    Yeah pretty sure im burning a bit of coolant, it makes sense i am due to amount of smoke. Ill take a vid of it at idle later today. I really dont know where else id be burning coolant other than the turbo or from hg or head cracked. It really cant be the head or head gasket. I have no coolant in...
  24. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    Update: checked my coolant level today and i am burning a bit. Really leads me towards the turbo, not leaking any coolant anywhere so it has to be being burned somewhere which i think is the turbo. Cant be my hg since my comp test seems to be good and i dont see oil in my coolant, vise versa.
  25. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    im currently using penzoil 5w30, its non synthetic. <gna switch up to 10w30 when it warms up my mileage is quite high but i have really good compression which really blows my mind lol
  26. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    Oh yeah i read somewhere that if oil is burned in the exhaust instead of engine it comes out as white instead of that blue tint, not sure if its true but if thats the case it rly leads me to the turbo but idk lol. If youre down to take a look i can probably come to you for you to take a look...
  27. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    The stock upper rubber ic hose that connects to the intake manifold. Im getting excessive smoke for sure, its a thickish white cloud, doesnt smell like coolant tho so it has to be oil¿ unless im always getting condensation in the system lol. I can probably get my friend to record me cruising and...
  28. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    Makes sense, i hit boost on the way to work today and it was puffing smoke as it boost. I think i have some blow by as i had some oil on the stock rubber ic hose that connects to the manifold but i dont think its too bad to the point my dipstick pops out. I had some oil around my exhaust...
  29. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    Hoping as well its just valve stem seals or turbo as those are easy enough to replace. I think i can rule out the HG and rings as my compressions look fine. Ive seen some threads saying a leaky valve cover gasket can cause oil around the exhaust manifold but i dont see any dripping from the...
  30. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    I see, i guess its either my turbo or valve stem seals thats causing the smoke. I see some oil around my manifold, heres a few pics. & thats true, but im pre sure im burning some oil with a mix of normal condensation lol
  31. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    Engine has 150k, i honestly almost did not believe the 175 175 168 165 compression. Its amazing, it blows my mind lol. I see no oil in coolant and no coolant in oil so i dont think its an HG. Is there a way to test whether my valve stem seals are okay or not? Would bad stem seals affect compression?
  32. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    Yeah, fault on my part, i wasnt thinking and was kind of a noob at the time. Still a noob lol. No pcv delete? I watched a vid of someone saying delete pcv then run a line to the can from there
  33. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    I really dont think its coolant, my coolant level isnt getting lower the smoke doesnt smell sweet at all as well. I hope its nothing like a crack housing. A turbo with 0 shaft play can still burn oil/coolant right? Cause i think its my turbo, i got it off a guy locally and its an ebay 16g, and...
  34. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    okayokay, i have a catch can one of those mishimoto reps which ive heard are really good. Gonna install it tomorrow and see if it does anything. If it doesnt its either the stem seals or turbo? i wanna note that im in canada, where its around -15 to -20 rn lol
  35. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    so.. GOOD NEWS. IT WAS A FALSE ALARM ahaha. lol. I was actually so scared but my compression was 175 175 168 165 from the other compression tester lol. So thats a really good sigh. No problems internally at all im guessing. But there is still smoke and its not coolant, doesnt smell sweet. Also...
  36. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    Tbh i dont remember i did not pay attention lol. Yeah im really better on either rings or something with valves. Ill be deleting the PCV and put in a baffled catch can with three ports and see if that helps with anything. Not too sure if i have that much crank case pressure as my dipstick does...
  37. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    I have not really been getting into boost as my wastegate line isnt connected so i dont notice, definitely still smoking when im cruising tho, when im at a light as well. When i rev more smoke seems to come out.
  38. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    Yeah its kinda way too low which leads me to either a broken tester which ill be retesting today with a new tester or piston rings/something with valves. Ill find out later today by doing a wet and dry comp test. Tbh i really dont think its a HG and like u said the smoke doesnt rly happen on...
  39. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    Yes ill probably do a compression test but im waiting on when im free to do another comp test with another tester. Ill be doing a dry and wet test and that should tell me whether my valves or piston rings are bad.
  40. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    The oem IC rubber hose that connects to the intake manifold had oil and some oil residue on the manifold as well. Intake pipe on turbo i see no oil. Also i think i am losing some coolant, i marked a line on my coolant res where the coolant was after my engine fully cooled, drove it during the...
  41. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    Could be valve stem seals, since i dont think its my HG, literally drove it for like 4 days straight and 0 signs of over heating, needle rests right at the middle of the temp gauge. Would valve stem seals cause oil on spark plug threads as well?
  42. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    Yeahp it was wide open, gas pedal was pressed now. Its weird cause it jumped to 120 as soon as i started cranking and stayed there.< Happened on all four cylsedit: also wanted to note that at first initial start up there is no smoke and about 1 minute of idle it starts smoking, smokes as well...
  43. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    Update: did a compression test, got exactly 120 on all cyls, really weird. Its rly low and it jumped to 120 on all four cyls and stayed there. Also i have oil on my spark plugs, heres a pic of how they look. Opinions?
  44. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    How exactly can you check whether u have bad seals? ALso imma go replace the pcv and see if it does anything, honestly think this has never been replaced for so long aha. & im feeding the turbo from the head and not the ofh so i dont think its getting too of a high oil pressure
  45. Allen2g

    2G white smoke from tailpipe

    im gonna go nuts!! so white smokes been coming out of my tailpipe, compression test was good so i dont think its the HG, i have no cooling issues as well. I went and checked the stock t25 & there was in and out play(LOTS) so i suspected it being the problem. Went ahead and replaced it with a...

    2G S16G wastegate line not hooked up okay?

    lol i was prolly half asleep and read everything wrong. mbmb
  47. Allen2g

    2G S16G wastegate line not hooked up okay?

    Ill re tighten it tomorrow morning and see if it still leaks, if it still leaks a tad bit ill add sealant to the threads
  48. Allen2g

    2G S16G wastegate line not hooked up okay?

    okok thats what i thought, ill got buy sealant tmrw and retighten everything. thank you!!
  49. Allen2g

    2G S16G wastegate line not hooked up okay?

    okay ill put type of sealant a re tighten. The feed kit came with only one copper washer for the AN side, is that correct? & i placed the washer before the fitting, screwed it tight, then screwed the AN fitting on. nothing between the fitting and AN fitting?
  50. Allen2g

    2G S16G wastegate line not hooked up okay?

    i have another question.. If you dont mind me asking. https://www.extremepsi.com/store/Oil-Feedline-Kit-Head-Location-Mitsubishi-Eclipse-90-99.html I got this for my feed line, the banjo bolt end connects to the head correct? Cause the turbo end of my feed line is leaking a bit
