I had a two-stroke Suzuki bike when I was a kid. If I opened up the throttle, I would leave droplets of oil on whatever was behind me, in addition to a whole lot of blue smoke.

Okay so in addition one of the more evil guys I work with took his 69 caddillac deville which is quite a hit in its own right,he emptied the windshield wiper fluid tank and filled it with Automatic trans fluid,then ran the hose normally going to the wiper nozzles to a fitting he installed on the exhaust pipe.Would wait for a red light and just give it a little squirt,it looked like fog rolled in,then he would just drive away as casual as can be.

Like This?
Or THIS?

I just pumped Diesel into the exhaust after the turbo.

I miss my smoke. I loved to smoke the jerk behind me who drove to close. Me and my wife would laugh as the jerk drove past. The good old days.

same exact way the military makes smoke screen for the amphibious landing craft and the rest..

Now that my ALDA is enriched I get a nice puff of smoke when I go to WOT throttle. But it clears right out.


Something is off, these thing shouldn't really smoke unless they are cold or you get on the throttle fast.

I say fix the idle smoke but otherwise embrace the smoky offering to the diesel god.

I'm everywhere.

I guess I just have an irrational love of diesels...

(actually, I think it's quite rational)

I just noticed the sig. When did you pick up the 3.5? Has it had any rod problems?

Never mind, I just read the swap thread between you and Tom. So how does she run compared to a 3.0L? Is the engine radically different?
