I recently did the diy stage 1's and man do i like the power difference they make.

After the install though I have alot of white smoke on start up definitly more than normal. I checked all the glow plugs when i had the covers off and they all checked good. I replaced all the o-rings and everthing went well. the smoke is real bad on inital start then slowly goes away but has to be driven to completly go away. I realize some smoke is normal but this is worse than normal. Its almost embarasing to start in front of my house.

I thought it may go away on its own after time but its been a couple thousand miles.

Any ideas what could be causing this ?

 

TTT

any ideas guys?

gonna wrench on it this weekend just looking ideas on where to start

 

you sure your GPR is good?

All the connections on the VC Harnesses were good.

 

do you have a vid?? usually they will smoke a touch more when you start them in a hotter tune, but your making it sound horrible. what happens if you plug it in overnight???? no smoke or still smokes horribly???

 

it should smoke like a pig when you do an injector swap. its normal, i did just 1 injector and i was baffled how much white smoke 1 injector makes

 

they have driven it a couple thousand miles and still getting the white smoke at start up.... LoL

 

Where are you at with this? do you think perhaps an injector is not seated completely or an O-ring got pinched or damaged allowing oil to drip onto the cylinder while it sits? are you sure you have the copper washer between the injector tip and cylinder seat installed? does the smoke smell like raw diesel? have you taken a compression test?

 

WOW you really dug this up hahah
