Puff of white smoke
I used to get this puff a few weeks after putting a JLT RAI on the car. I had a TB, 90mm MAF, and pulleys put on and the car re-tuned and it went away. Now after putting the stock TB back I get the puff.
After taking off my twin 60MM TB and putting my stock back on I now get a puff of white smoke on start up on occasion. I took the TB off to fix a hanging rev problem, and now that issue is gone but I get this puff. I'd take the JLT off and put my K&N back on but I don't have a 80mm housing at the moment. Any ideas? Mods: catted X-pipe cat-back pulleys 90mm MAF JLT RAI intake spacer 4.10

Re: Puff of white smoke
I changed out the TB Sunday night, Monday morning I get no puff, Monday evening I get a puff. Today I get NO puff at all.
Aside from the TB I changed nothing. So you suggesting something changed on the car while it was sitting from Sunday night to Monday evening? What would cause it to not puff until driven 10 miles then sits for 10hrs then SOMETIMES, puff when restarted? I'm stumped here.

Re: Puff of white smoke
If I start mine up and let it idle for a while and then shut it off it will puff the next time I start it up.Seems to be oil smoke that I'm guessing is coming thru the PCV.At idle there isn't enough vacume to pull the oil on thru the intake so it puddles up.The next time I start it up and it revs a little it pulls the oil on thru.This is my theory anyhow.

Re: Puff of white smoke
My car turned 100,000 miles on the race track 6 weeks ago and still uses no oil between changes.Now on road courses it can use 1/2 qt after maybe 5-6 hours of track time.Of course it also uses a tank of fuel in a hour.

Re: Puff of white smoke
It's probably just a little rich on start-up, mine started doing it once and a while after I upgraded injectors....
