White smoke problem - is it terminal? - THREAD CLOSED

[Daddio]

Who the fuck is doing your leakdown comp test at home? Jim's Mowing?

lol'd at this one

[ajansen]

its one of jim's offshoot ventures..... Jim's backyard motoring. His new assistant being the same guy who built the engine

[trdee]

wtf do you mean you couldnt turn the engine by hand? do you not have a decent size ratchet/breaker bar?

[1JZ-Rolla]

possibly had 100psi of air from the compressor in that cylinder at the time, which would make it rather difficult to get to TDC

So what was the result of Jim's Leakdown testing Aloshan?

On one of my previous rides some years ago I had white smoke problem. When I started up I would get a cloud of white smoke and after high vacuum, then putting you food down again on the go peddle, the engine would ping and heaps of white smoke out the exhaust.

I took my car to my tuner to get it looked at. I rang him that afternoon expecting him to tell me I needed a total rebuild. He said all fixed. He had replaced my brake power booster.
What was happening was brake fluid was leaking into the vacuum chamber and under high vacuum circumstances, it was getting sucked into the inlet manifold and the engine burnt it. The engine pinging was due to the combustion being too high when it burnt the mix.

So check you brake fluid level and vacuum connection. It only has to be one small drop.

Wow, thats obscure but a good point! Heres hoping its something like that for aloshan.

[JZA70R_92]

Have heard of that......pray aloshan pray

checked it , seems to be fine , will have a better look this weekend

What's happening Al?

Well still no leak down test done so still no conclusive result. Will be waiting on the result before i make my next move.

7m fucked = burn car , buy a jza70 , move on with life
7m good = continue to find oil issue , computer install and tune , r154 install , turbo , fuel pump , injectors , intercooler , exhaust

In other news , my calipers have sezied. God i love my car.

Maybe its terminal and he doesnt wanna post about it?

No if its terminal u guys will know.

i dont know how they could manage to seize on their own...

i left my car for over a year without moving and didnt have calipers seizing...

fucked if i know how they seized up man,nothing surprises me with my car anymore... yesterday while driving I smelt what smelt like brake pads burning but I wasn't braking. Pulled over to see that my calipers where smoking ( so badly in fact that i thought the smoke was coming from the engine bay)

reluctant to drive the car until I have put in replacement calipers due to safety reasons.

PS: you know your car is fucked when you see smoke coming from the calipers and actually feel quite happy that its not the engine that's smoking.

you prob just have sticky sliders
