the cop says my car was putting out blue smoke.
plus my drivers license didnt match my plates. 

so two ticekts.

he says the smoke looked like it was coming from under the car and from the tailpipe.
of course the word of a cop is about as good as solid as dried up dog shit. they'll
 whatever they have to in order to give you a ticket.

im just glad i got to drive my own car away.

WTF is blue smoke???

and whats the likelihood of it coming from my CDM turbo.
how to fix also. (rebuild)

[crxvtec91]

Blue smoke= oil, burnt oil

[92CXyD]

blue smoke = oil burning

CDM Turbo could have a leaking seal.
Take the outlet to the compressor housing off and check for oil.
If oil is present then seal is leaking.

No oil present check the turbine housing and see if there is oil in there.

Check spark plugs and see if there is oil on the plugs.

Blue is oil burned in the combustion chamber.  White is oil smoking when it hits a hot surface, like the turbine housing/downpipe.

My car makes white smoke.  Bad oil pan gasket leaking onto precat = smokescreen

Under power, over 40 mph?   

[toyolla86]

blue smoke burning in combustion chamber.

so like bad rings.

this really sucks then.

i have a breather but maybe its just not enough.
since its just a tube running to a bottle.

[Panis]

So his only probable cause for pulling you over was blue smoke coming out of your tailpipe? WTF... I call bullshit.

[Joseph Davis]

blue smoke burning in combustion chamber.

Or like considerable oil in the intake, from the china turbo or the PCV still hooked up.  Or crankcase pressures are high and it's coming past the rings.  Or a partially broken ring land letting a little slip by.

He's a rotory guy, he knows more about oil burning than I ever will.  I bow to his oil burning prowess. 

[Robb]

4age? I'd say valve stem seals before anything.  Time to do a leakdown test.

[oinesra]

Odds are you are burning oil.

[toyolla86]

well i have had the ic piping off and there is oil in the intake. i dont know how much but oil getting in there is a fact.

im thinking that crank case pressure may also be an issue since my breather hose is just that... a hose.

what else can i do to help crank case pressure.

time to rebuild the turbo maybe huh?

[toyolla86]

yeah he was trying to be a nice guy but whatever.
came back like, "well i have to write you these two tickets."

good thing im in business law right now and my teacher is a lawyer.
she gave me some good pointers for getting out of both of them.

ill use my military id for the one and then ill have a shady shop look it over and say nothing was wrong with it.
or that they fixed it.

[onlyflash944]

what was the ticket for the smoke?  improper equipment or something?

Well if you have oil in your intake, then that means its getting into the combustion chamber. So you are probley burning oil. If you are, it will be blue smoke. I bet that is the reason the cop pulled you over.

he does drive a two cycle after all.

 

[toyolla86]

the ticket says

"smoke/visible particulates"
"utah req'd - 60 days" (this one is for the different state plates vs license)

also the cop put that the car is a celica when its a corolla.
wonder if that will help me at all.

[oinesra]

Did you see the smoke yourself? If its blue it oil burning

[j.h.christ]

thank god you brought that up, it hasn't been covered 8 times

[oinesra]

Well yeah. Cause it its blue smoke than its oil, but if its white it could be coolant or oil, but deff. oil if it blue.

He's a rotory guy, he knows more about the low coolant light than I ever will.  I bow to his apex seals ownage 

Fix'd
