Exhaust spitting

DarkSupra2.5 · 12-23-2009, 05:40 PM

If your turbo seals are goin bad you could be leakin oil into the exhaust. BUT, more than likely you're just running rich after having it sit for so long and the ecu is compensating for the cold. Warm it up then run it and see if it still does it. My 1j does the same thing when i let it sit for more than a week and the ecu resets itself, fuel trim goes haywire for a while.

I would smell it to make sure it is water. because if it is just dirty water then it is probably moisture that has collected in the exhaust from the air after sitting for a while and then when started it blows it out and naturally it is dirty from the exhaust. I would not be too concerned, the only thing that could happen it rust in the exhaust after a while.

Condensation is quite likely. If its to the degree that it is dripping from the exhaust and it was coolant you'd be adding coolant very often; are you?

1G-GTE... heh, so unheard of over here... kind of neat.

You might want to check the coolant jacket which keeps your muffler bearings from overheating. One of the seals might be shot, and that would explain the liquid.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Possible 2jz lower block swap in the works if I can't rebuild the 1j. So troublesome.
