This was actually my freind that posted using my account because i guess i didnt log out the last time i was on his comp. his car is actually idling at 1350 he's running stock injectors which i told him to get some stock sr ones atleast the car shoots out black fuel when u hit the gas and when its just idleling it shoots out white smoke, it also runs really really rich

could you give any less information? seriously? why dont you think its the turbo seals? you say the turbo's not spooling right. like 480sx asked, hows the compression? what color smoke?

are you not running any sort of tuning? what about fuel injectors?

[aaronscomp]

sorry i added more info. but i have stock injectors, stock maf, no tuning

[1unar3clipse]

no tuning

Theres your problem

no seriously now, FMU..? SAFC? nothing..? your just running a turbo setup on a stock KA?

And no wideband....

[aaronscomp]

See? you gotta mention these things so the people more experienced with KA-T troubleshooting can help you.

Although you should be running a wideband just as insurance to not pop your motor it can greatly help the tuning.Hopefully 480sx can get a better idea of your situation now.

What colour is the smoke.

Your really lucky that your not able to go into boost for whatever reason, because your asking for a blown motor. Are you SURE you never were able to go into boost? Because if you did theres a good chance your motors blown. I would do a compression check before you bother with anything else.

Man i dont even know where to start. Idling at 1350 is high, but not terrible. Probably have a vacuum leak. You might also try adjusting your IACV screw in and see if you can get it back down to about 1000 or so. If you just slapped in a set of 370cc injectors yea.. Its gona spit fuel out the exhaust.. Adjust your SAFC for -30 all the way across the board and go from there. Also change your oil asap.

Your smoking issue can be a few different things, and you really havnt given us enough information for us to help you. Answer some of our Q's and get back to us.
