White Smoke on Startup

[MintyFresh]

what is considered good compression, and what is considered buggered?

Deano?

[davefrith]

white smoke at start up is perfectly normal as long as it diappears after 2minutes or so

cheers Dave...

...I think virtually all us \'newbie\' owners s**t our pants for a moment!!!I get white smoke for a minute or so, but that\'s it.There\'s no more smoke for the rest of the day/journey...my car has had a full rebuild and new turbo pack -courtesy of the previous owner :-)) 8000miles ago.

I "think" good compression is over 6, but don\'t quote me

Fooked is about 2.8 which was what mine is

So should it not smoke/steam at all for the rest of day once it\'s warmed up? Just i\'m sure mine would still be a bit white even after i\'d giving it a bit of death then been off for a few hours then restarting....

Si
Wheres your car ?

They chuck out a bit of white smoke when cold until they warm up slightly, usually disappears after 3 minutes max I\'d say
Can\'t say mine lasts longer than about 1 minute

Smoke at any other times baaaaaad kaaaay !

Dave have you had yours rebuilt yet?
If so what spec u have had it rebuilt to?
And where did u get it done and how much?

questions questions lol

[davefrith]

Carl Hayward is rebuilding mine next week while I am in Africa, going with standard spec, which is fine to run with my mods

Carl is very helpful on the phone and I would reccomend talking to him

Geff at Reworx is also a helpful chap

what rwhp are u aiming for Dave?
werent u tempted in doing a mild street port?
Africa!! bring back some jungle skins with ya and do the interior of ur Rex, I quite fancy the Cheetah look lol

[davefrith]

I\'ll be happy with the RWHP I have/(had) which was 272bhp, plenty fast enough I thought

porting is another £500 so I thought I\'d leave it, its already delayed buying my R6 !

I will be collecting skins and stuff to kit out the Rex with don\'t worry !
