Hey Guys and girls,
I have a 1989 mazda mx-6 with a 2.2l turbo intercooled engine, and i got it off my sister but wen she had it she messed it up a lil, ok i mean a lot theres, dents and fender benders and worse of all the engine is completely messed up but i wanna keep it, the car doesnt go above 40mph and 20mh goin up hill and wen i drive it for long periods at a time the exhuast starts to smoke, and i was wonderin wut i should do about the smokin exhuast and wut i should do to the engine, besides buyin a new one, to bring it bak up to stock capabilities and even mayb a lil bit better. actually the exhuast starts to smoke after drivin it for a few minutes.i was thinkin that mayb i should get a new filter and hopin that would eliminate that problem but never got around doin it.

Sorry I know you said you want to keep it but junk it! All the repairing that you are going to have to do is not worth it! Basicly your looking at redo body and new motor and tranny!

is it white blue or black. Based on your vague description sounds like either bad rings or a headgasket.

How were the turbos in the Mazdas? I had an 88 tubo coupe and it did the same things as the Mazdas doing, but the turbo went south on it. Hugh plumes of white smoke, looked like one of those stunt planes!

check the turbo to see if its leaking any oil into the compresser housing... also get a compression test
