Supra is Smoking?

[87M-GTE]

87 turbo R154

Mods: titan dp, custom test pipe, Blitz nur spec, apexi power intake. Other than that the car is bone stock.

At idle there is a pretty excesive amount of whitish gray smoke, doesnt look blue at all.

No codes, HG was replaced 4k miles ago by a toyota master tech with all OEM parts.

Is it just that my car is catless and that is what unrestricted exhaust gasess look like?

Thanks
Sam

Did you do a re-torque on the head bolts at anytime after the HG replacement?

 

[grimreaper]

is this on a cold start or fully warmed up?

Did you do a re-torque on the head bolts at anytime after the HG replacement?

And more importantly, did they use the too-low factory torque spec?

 

[87M-GTE]

havent done a re-torque, probably factory specs , and usually a cold start

Are the coolant levels dropping over time?

The combination of stock torque and no re-torque is not good.

Thank you for the comparative sentence.

His issues are white smoke which may mean, the tech there ( not very smart ) has looked up the specs and never realized Toyota specs for a stock head gasket are incorrect, also they were never re torqued.

Blue smoke on start up usually indicates valve stem seals are past there prime.

Yea i think it is either valve seals or sour injectors. i am going to see if it clears up.

Not that I've noticed, I'm thinking a re-torque...

What can the stock head bolts hold up to torque wise?

 

[jdub]

70-75 ft/lbs...start off at 65 (assuming stock torque was used on install), then go the final value. Make sure you use the TSRM torque pattern.
