psu_Crash Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Since I had oil leaking form the return line I had to take the whole turbo out to get to it. When I took it off the turbine housing this is what I saw Took me by surprise! Immediately thought @#$! because if plugs looked like that I'd be sure it's very lean. Then I remembered the water/meth injection that I've been running recently. Think that's the culprit? It's the only logical explanation I can come up with anyways!http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/3584/hx35whiteturbine.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwolf Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Wont burning coolant show the same thing? I for one have the same problem or did...havent pulled downpipe back off to check but my plugs were ghostly white. My afr shows that i never get lean like that though...and im not losing coolant :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spraying a washer fluid/HEET mixture into the intake must do kinda the same thing. I don't lose a drop of coolant so I'm sure that part is good.I'm a total noob with the H20/Meth injection, anyone who runs it see the same thing?

Dave-O Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Wow, almost looks ceramic coated. I've seen that on a few water/meth injected Nissans out here, that's my guess anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim si Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 i wonder if that would have any ill effects on a wideband sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky Phil Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) leaded race gas will cause the same thing Edited May 31, 2010 by phinko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) Joe good to know. Thanks for the Input guys (and gals) I wasn't really worried about it I have just never seen such a thing. And a little reassurance is good for the stress levels Tim I wondered the same thing about the wideband. AEM says it safe for the O2 though?
