No - you should read what you wrote. You have a missing gasket on the intake side so not sure how you corroborate that with a leak on the exhaust side. Yes. the outlet is integrated on the INTAKE manifold but it's a separate chamber. It's more likely you have a major head gasket failure if you coolant in the EXHAUST manifold..

That's what I was thinking but the channels are connected

as in, under full boost it throws water into the cilinder to the exhaust manifold

@pulsar harbor

U talking about this part of the intake manifold

If you have no gasket coolant can leak

[subtle minnow]

No it can leak into the intake

the square ports are coolant passages. If you have a cracked intake manifold gasket or something weird it could leak into ur intake

So it could suck up some coolant and burn it causing the white smoke

While your inspecting your rb check all the coolant lines and gaskets. The lines (oem) tend to get very weak and brittle very fast which causes coolant leaks. When I pulled my 25 head off for my 26 head swap I was surprised by the amount of coolant stains on a 45,000km engine.

[subtle minnow]

I see I didn’t read it all; ya she would have to have a bad exhaust gasket for the coolant to leak into the exhaust.

Coolant is quite corrosive sometimes, so a line leak above could have done the job.

[subtle minnow]

I would still get a new gasket it though for the intake. It’s like only 70cad

Your turbo is water cooled right?

[pulsar harbor]

@subtle minnowTurbo is an Holset HX40 with custom turbine, it's just oil cooled.

Cilinder 2 is wet from water so spark plug won't ignite

It's running on 5 cil, because my intake gasket is literally non existent

What I'm doing right now is getting my intake manifold machined and powdercoated for looks, ordered an OEM intake gasket and new coolant

going to do that first, and check for leaks and what not

coolant level way super super low after the white smoke curtain

almost nothing left in my radiator

exhaust manifold^

you can tell that around cil 2 there's literally nothing on the water channel

previous owner really fucked up here

just checking what it did

and it seemed like it was burning the coolant that was located in my exhaust manifold

and the steam was coming (presumably, I'm guessing here) out of the turbo/heat wrap

[subtle minnow]

Take a quick look at your oil, just wondering if it could be your head gasket also.

Other than that, not too sure on where the coolant could be coming from

[subtle minnow]

?

That shouldn’t cause it not to fuel or spark

It should just be running rich a bit if there is a boost leak

Btw do you drive your rb without a air filter? I wouldn’t do that. The cylinder head and valves are very delicate

[subtle minnow]

The only other stuff around there is ac and heater lines

[subtle minnow]

Crazy, ya idk. Could be like a head gasket

[pulsar harbor]

Oil is fine, not milky

[pulsar harbor]

It’s running rich since the cil went out 9.5 afr

[pulsar harbor]

I took it off to access the manifold

[pulsar harbor]

Ac isn’t filled, heater works

[pulsar harbor]

It’s possible, I was just checking if the intake could be a likely possibility before I pull the head

If it’s fixed with just an intake gasket

that’d be neat

What ignition system are you using? Are you using a stand alone?

[pulsar harbor]

I've got a KMS ecu if that's what you mean

[left pecan]

That’s exactly what I mean. Are you in Europe?
