White/blue smoke

cesarortiz23 · 09-10-2017, 01:48 PM

You guys so I just pumped some e85 on my car
And I am getting some smoke from the exhuast when I come to a stop.

Is that normal ?

I have a n55

Only mods are jb4
DP
CP
and exhuast

I used to get smoke before maybe like once a day or so

I was told it was my turbo seals

Now with e85

It is doing a bit more.. is it just the e85 making it smoke more ?

NO

so I been driving the car around and no smoke anymore

Back to the usual

I get smoke after a hard pull but not every hard pull

no smoke at idle

or acceleration only when coming to a stop and sometimes

I guess my turbo seals are pretty much done

So as I drive the car

If is in normal never see smoke ever

If I put the car on SPORT

And down shift when coming to a stop is when I get smoke

Only when I down shift

So basically the rev matching

I think you have your answer with turbo seals.

Perhaps I'm reading to much into this, but when you say your only upgrades are JB4, DP, CP, and exhaust.... If you don't have upgraded fuel lines and an upgraded LPFP that E85 is going to do a number on your fuel system over time. Might not be the cause of the smoke, but just something to be aware of.

First time I run e85

And I did a small mix of 3 gallons
