Hey guys. I know it's quite normal that an FD without cats throws out some smoke after cold start. But when I start my car the air turns really blue behind me. As soon as it gets warmer the smoke is gone. Normal?
Thanks Dom |
Well, sounds like you might be blowing just a hair of oil through the turbos. Normal as long as it stops after you warm up, and plant life behind you dosent die... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

dont worry about it, as long as you can still see the house its fine

Yeah, only my neighbours have problems with this. I tried to explain...
|
mine does the same and it is turbo related, goes away after warm up. I now push the car out of the garage before i start it so I dont stink out the place. :P
|
Keep the tank full if you premix. When I run mine low, it smokes like a crackhead...
|
I have a stock 94 touring that also smokes on cold start up. You mention without a cat it's common, because I have a cat and it smokes should I worry?
|
I don't think it's Turbo related cause i've also got an 86 n/a and since about a month ago it started blue smoking during warm up acceleration and and then stops. I don't know what it is though.

Lots of bue smoke on startup is usually one of two things. Turbos blowing oil by (I'm having this problem). Or failing oil contol o-rings. Either way you will eventually have to rebuild something. Good thing is that as long as you keep oil in it, you can drive it smoking for a long time.

Yeah... If it's smoking blue, at least you know the Apex seals are nice and lubed... And you'll get a little extra compression!
