HELP! Smoke and hard start
Hey guys i dont know if anyone hear has had this issue but i have the greddy turbo kit on my car then i decided to install a mid pipe. the car drove fine for a few weeks then it started to smoke i mean bad, but only when i come to a stop not all the time. it does not smoke when i drive or boost. the car is running rich. I also had a issue when i drove my 8 from san diego to hemet, i had oil over my engine bay that i think came from the oil overflow line from the filler that runs to the greddy filter, so i think some of that was sucked into the turbo so it could of ran into the engine but that was weeks before i insalled the mid pipe. the hard start began after i installed the bhr ignition kit. it starts good with the stock ignition. Any input that could help me would be apreciated. i do plan on dyno tuning again in about 1 week. that is the only thing that i can think of. it is running real rich.

[QUOTE=Charles R. Hill;3581478]Let's see:
On page 21 of the 2009 GReddy catalog it says the RX-8 turbo kit has a T618Z turbo (which appears to be made by Mitsubishi). Using the search phrase "T618Z Trubo Rebuild Kit" I gleaned the following from Google;
1) http://shop.ebay.com/sis.html?_kw=MI...ER+REBUILD+KIT
2) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...d=380235612212[/QUOTE
i will get that orderd and get it rebuilt. i guess the only thing im really wanting to fix is the somke for now. the hard start i can deal with, since i dont drive it all the time. once its driving it works fine and it always starts.
