hey guys so i turbo another rx8 but this time im having lots of problems, i had a used emanage dont have the installation for it anymore, anyways, start up the car, it runs very very rich and if you snap the throttle it smokes like crazy ( white) but it burns your eyes like crazy its running rich when you drive and try ti boost it falls right on it face and then smokes and then it takes off, has any one run into this before, and would some have the wire info for the e manage? also i have a code of p 0102 and p0172

 

using any water ?

 

You know what we are going to tell you...you have no idea what the e-manage is doing...so don't try and think it is tuned in any way shape or form

It needs to be tuned before you F something up....

 

White smoke when first started is normal. If white smoke continues you have an internal coolant leak, i.e., cracked head/blown head gasket

 

No coolant leaks pressure tested over night pressure don't drop at all. Taking the snap on scan tool home tonight to check the o2 sensor voltage I think it might be my up stream o2

 

Head gasket you say eh? Where is that located?

 

problem solved, replace the upstream o2 sensor, runs good now, voltage was 001 volts making the ecm think its running really rich it would change at all, replace and now its at half volt ish, no smoke any more, this is great news hopefully it will sell tonight and i can get another one to mod and sell, i couldnt find the head gasket either:P
