white smoke

[Dslatch4]

hey guys today i was driving and i was sitting at a red light when i noticed white smoke coming out of my passanger side exhaust tips, but not out of the drivers side. it stopped and then came back about 10 minutes later when i was stopped again. i currently have a corksport CBE, ATP catless dp, HPFP internals, corksport SRI and TIP. after it did it the second time i havnt had it happen since. anything that could cause this? thanks for the help.

White smoke at idle and typically after decel is usually signs that oil is starting to blow by the seals in the turbo. Potentially start planning to either go BT or get your turbo warrantied

[Dslatch4]

is that a major problem?

Seriously? Yes, that should be a major concern of yours. The longer it continues and the worse it gets, you run the risk of destroying the turbo completely to where you may not even be able to drive your car. Now that's the extreme end of the scenario, but how about you donate to the forum and start reading SNF searching for some of these answers as well

Well, looks like you read half that post of mine... How about you DONATE and then figure out what you need to do next. This has been covered endless times. Learn how to use or forum and find your answers on your own as well.

Get real familiar with stocking out and hope your dealer isn't douchey

No. You really need to search. Hell you dont even need to search for that answer. Just think about that one. You modified the car using other than stock parts but you want them to warranty the risk you openly ignored.

Is someone seriously asking "what does white smoke coming out of my exhaust mean"? And they have a dp?

Yes that was a serious question. I don't know much about our cars yet but I'm still trying to learn. If I knew you guys would get all butt hurt over a question then shit what happened to nator? I expected serious answers not dick responses.

Have you even been around long enough to know what nator even is? Nobody is getting butt hurt but you. Especially when asking questions that are so easily found just by simply search and a DP question which is just common knowledge.

Lol Brownie lecturing about Nator

We don't like brownies who fail to search. If you would have searched this problem, you would have found your answer within five minutes. It is annoying to have people ask the same question(s) over and over again. Do you understand? It is not personal, people just don't want to repeat themselves every time someone buys a speed3 and has similar questions or issues. Just search diligently first next time and if you still cannot come up with an answer, then post your question. But your question(s) have been covered so much that it is like nails on a chalk board to hear someone ask about it.

Modding your car isn't the smartest thing if you know nothing about it.

[biggman026]

Dude if you're going to mod your car, at least spend a few hours reading up on what you plan to do. It seems like a dick response to you because the information is sitting there readily available. If you search "mazdaspeed downpipe" on Google the first result is this thread, where it explains that you may get the smoking turbo problem after upgrading the downpipe:

http://www.mazdaspeedforum.org/forum/foru...-thread-99627/

It's literally the second paragraph of this site's main downpipe thread. If you did 20 minutes of research on upgrading the downpipe you would have to find that thread. And then once you did, let's just say you wanted to follow up on the smoking turbo issue, so you google "mazdaspeed smoking turbo" - the first result is that same downpipe thread and then links to a bunch of other threads on this site discussing it.

You joined at pretty much the same time I did, you've been on here long enough to know about the smoking turbo. I'm sorry this comes across as a "dick response" to you, but you're being lazy and asking for people to spoon feed you answers you can find on Google in 5 minutes.

I just didn't understand what some of the things discussed in the down pipe thread. I'm still learning how to navigate the site and find things I need. I understand I could have found it with a little looking. I was just hoping someone would simplify it a little better. As for nator I've been around for about a year. I plan on donating but it just isn't a priority at the moment due to funds being held up with work and school. I get help with my installs and try to learn as much as I can as fast as I can. This was just an attempt to gain further knowledge oft problem so I could understand what is going on. I appreciate what help I did receive. I just felt that me gettin all this stuff just for a question that had a simple answer was a bit unnecessary. As if right now I plan on adjustingy idle and switching out the bolts. If it's a stupid question so be it, but if it's stupid then don't answer it. In no way do I mean to waiste your guys time, just a friendly fellow nator member looking for some help.

I hope this is sarcasm. If not, did you learn nothing from the OP's mistake?

...Brownies! MMMM MMM GOOD

Holy shit guys, quit being cheap asses and donate. It is worth EVERY FUCKING PENNY. Unless you sawed your own legs off and can't work you have no right to ask a question unless you donate. Think servers magically host themselves? Think you can go ask any stranger how to mod your car? Think 20 guys are going to show up and fix your shit for free?

Pay your money, donate, and don't look back. For less than 100 bucks you get people who give a shit, people who will trade beer for work, and connections to get help even when your SOL. Jesus fucking god damn monkey balls tap dancing Christ.
