Just started my car today after reassembling it and it smokes like crazy. More than I have ever seen it smoke before. Even more than after I pulled it out of winter storage. I just got done installing BNR Stage 2s running full NS and a Power FC. I started the car and let it sit for 10 minutes to acclimate the Power FC like you are supposed to. There was a little bit of smoke but not much. Prolly just new gaskets and downpipe heat wrap burning off. Then I turned on the lights and all hell broke loose! The idle got bouncy, so I blipped the throttle, and it settled back down again. But it started to smoke bad out the exhaust. So bad that it covered the car! I let the car run for a couple minutes, in the hopes that it would settle down, but it didn't. Usually when the car smokes like that (after coming out of storage, for example), it will smoke for 30 seconds and then clear up. This just kept on smoking. Is the PFC supposed to do that, or do I have other problems? What could be wrong? Any ideas?



BTW, other mods are downpipe, RB dual tip, RX7 Fashion intake (which also went in while the car was down) Thanks guys.

 

that is a common problem with the BNR rebuilt turbos. call them. that is all you can do unfortunately

 

Well, I thought it was only the Stage 3's that had this problem? That was the primary reason I went with the Stage 2's.



And I forgot to mention that this is white, oil-based smoke. So is it coming from the turbos, or am I looking at an engine rebuild as well? Please say it ain't so!

 

Sounds to me like your turbos are dumping oil in the intake.

 

i'd say turbos

 

well, dammit!

my stock turbos were blowing oil and thats the main reason I got rid of them!



sigh, I guess I just can't win with this car.
