Smoke on initial start-up
On my previous turbo install on an RSX, I remember getting smoke on initial start-up. I just finished my turbo build last night with a full-race setup and was wondering how long your car smoked around the exhaust manifold area?
Thanks!!!
Thanks!!!

well, it smoked a lot when it began warming up...after a couple more minutes, it decrease but when i reved the engine it would increase a slight bit...i just hope its not an exhaust leak..
btw, i tripled checked everything so i was just trying to get a general idea

Double check the fitting to make sure thats the oil restrictor fitting and not just the fitting that comes with the turbo, if its a restrictor itll have like a pin point hole on the end accept the oil feed.

lol I just got my manifold back on day before yesterday, I've done it 4 times now.
Smoke lasts between 5 minutes and 30 minutes for me, really depends on how much oil and how hot i get it.
One time I must have bumped the oil line on top because it was making a wet area around the fitting so the smoking lasted all day I knew I hadn't split that much oil, I had to grind down a wrench to fit to be able to snug it up but it worked.
