Ok so here it is I just recently swapped out my ka for an sr that I got for a really goo price. Came with a t25 and aftermarket turbo manifold. Recently I let my friend drive it while I was with him we boosted and when we came to a stop white smoke started pouring out of the tail pipe which smelled like unburnt fuel. Immediately we thought it was a blown head gasket but I started doing research and I came to think it was the turbo since there was oil around manifold. To make a really long story short the car was running on 3 cylinders and I found out it was the second piston. So I then changed my turbo to a t28 and replaced the injector and it ran fine (370cc) until last night it started bogging again seen oil around manifold throwing same smoke. I have a blitz ecu so I'm starting to believe its my ecu and maybe the head gasket I popped the radiator cap off and seen know water but when I squished my rad hose I can hear water. I didn't bleed it also. But someone said water might be going in to the second cylinder causing it to flood out. ? Anyone had this happen before I'm pulling my hair-.-

did you lube up the injector with grease? you might have damaged the seal when you put it in, happened to me once, one of my injectors took a dump on me and then i switched it out, the car drove fine for a day, then it started smoking again and yeah thats what it was, i didnt use enough lubricant.

Yeah I lubed it with grease. Maybe the injector went out cuz I swapped it from my cousins sr and it was the same cylinder that went out. I am upgrading to 555 but at least it happened to you also did it just happen to one cylinder?

Also I started driving it then it would bog out on 3 cylinders then I went a little faster it started picking up again. Then I turned it on and only 3 cylinders same number 2.
