98 Porsche Boxster Blue Smoke Start

[ralegen]

blinkwatt,

It didn't take too long. It took me about 3 hours, but I took my time. I could see this being done in about 1.5-2hours easy. In addition to getting to your engine from top, you will need to take off your passenger rear tire.

I started my car up this morning for the first time in a week, and she shot out a nice puff of blue smoke right away. No big deal really, doesn't bother me. You should see the cloud of crap that comes out of the exhaust of the Talon at WOT. With as much boost as I run on huge injectors with a rich air/fuel ratio there's lots of grey smoke (unburnt gas) that comes out. So much so that I can see it in the headlights of the car I'm smoking (literally) behind me...

It's all just part of the fun...

Here's a nice example at the track. I hit the rev limiter at the top of 2nd here by accident. Sounds like a shot gun lol...

Before I fixed my car, the white smoke would come and go on startup. After a couple of weeks, the white smoke would always come out of the exhaust at every startup; more specifically, every startup when the car sat for a good 30mins-1hour. I felt really bad when a fellow classmate (who was pregnant) walked by, and I accidentally started the car as she passed. This is where I was really determined to get it fixed.
