What the hell dose that matter? or was that side bar convrosation?

Well he better not be, if he has a SR and is boosting above stock/has larger injectors with more flow but I don't see how that relates to the topic of the white smoke...
Anyway you said the smoke looks like the kind of smoke you get when you burn a pile of leaves?.. I personally would not call that "white" but more of a gray... Coolant is WHITE smoke (Think pot of boiling water/the contrails jets leave when they fly high) When you burn oil you get a grey/blue (very slight blue tint) to the smoke which some people think is "white" I think this is the more likely of the two due to your description.. so it might be as simple as a bad turbo seal/some type of oil leak.. To much fuel/running rich is a deep black smoke caused by the engine not being able to fully burn all of the fuel before it is pushed out the exhaust.
As was said before I would check out your Turbo/Turbo oil lines etc.. for a leak. Also check your coolant level!! if it is full then it's pretty unlikely that you're burning coolant. Now I don't know why now that you put in these new injectors it started doing it... maybe you knocked a line or something when you installed the injectors and that's what caused a leak...
That's as much as I can help you being a "online mechanic"

well if hes boosting 10psi on the stock fuel pump couldnt that cause him to run lean and wouldn't running lean cause his EGT to go up. Causing the turbo to get excessively hot. Maybe blowing a gasket like the turbo exhaust inlet gasket or the turbo seals. So I just wanted to ask him. You got a problem with that?

The car was acting fine before iparked it at its last place. And I do NOT have a ecu, it is the stock one that came with the swap. I guess not having a tuned ecu is a bad thing to run bigger injectors?I am losing abunch of oil im guessing right next to the the turbo cause it is all over the down pipe and the o2 housing. not losing coolant. no water or fuel in the oil. and it is white smoke not gray, or black. and it is still coming form the engine bay next to the exh mani. it is a walbro fuel pump. I can not use the injectors it came with because when I took them out the were, for lack of a better phrase, all ****ed up. I am not runnign lean, was running really rich, that is why i took the injectors out cause I thought they were the problem. yes I lubed the o rings before I put them in there. I will check and look at the o rings again make sure they didint get twisted. SO i am gonna change the gasket from the mani to the turbo and see if that helps at all.
Yall know anyone that is selling a t28 turbo?

if a stock KA fuel pump can handle 10psi of boost than a stock sr fuel pump can handle 18psi without ****ting out dont you think ? unless its old and crappy and gonna die.. but then again how many ppl actually get a SR fuel pump with their swap?
is this the first time you started the car? maybe your turbo cracked and the oil is spraying on the block and the coolent is leaking into the downpipe.

it smells like i got fuel in the oil. what do i do about that? alos the bolts from the turbo to the mani were loose, but that wouldnt casue the white smoke right?
no it is the third time i started the car. it did it the first time i started it.
no it a 300zxtt fuel pump, and yes it came with the swap.

Don't run the car with fuel in the oil... you're going to **** something up doing that... (think how well gas gets oil off your hands... it's doing that to the oil in your engine) I would not run the car with these new injectors untill you have some type of fuel management or you're going to end up fuxking the car up.
Did you do the swap yourself? I'm supprised that you did not know you can't just drop in bigger injectors without telling the ECU that it's not running the stock ones... you're flooding your cyls with fuel and it's getting past the rings down into the oil! Please tell me you atleast have a aftermarket FPR...
Do a oilchange, then get a ECU/SAFC II and tuned for the injectors before you even TRY to run/drive the car again.

no xat racing in tampa did the swap. i bought the car already with the swap in it. from then it just went downhill from there. do you know where i can get the stock injectors from? 320cc right??

no 370s. ebay, but i doubt that your injectors are messed up.
At the very least you're going to need an SAFC for compensate for your injector upgrade. You cannot just drop in larger injectors and expect them to work.
Kenrik is 100% right about the gas in the oil...get that crap out of your engine NOW and don't start your car until you get your car tuned for the larger injectors. Or drop your stock injectors back. I'd like to know why you think they are messed up.
We'll deal with the smoking issue when you get the above 2 issues resolved.

WHen I pulled out my stock injectors, the plastic around the metal post in the middle were broken, on the #4 injector,closest to the window, the metal post was bent and the clips around the harness were all broken, even the clips from the harness did not even snap in they were all broken. so yes i think the injectors were messed up.OK i am going to drain the oil and take out the old turbo and drop in a disco potato, new oil lines, and a sfac2 and i will keep yall posted. i appreciate all the help all of yall have given me.

I would actually flush your oil system after you get it running again.. you don't want any of that gas to stay in there..
And remember to put the oil back in before you start the engine! I know it sounds stupid but talking to a mechanic friend of mine he said it's scary how often people come in with blown motors because they forgot to put more oil in after then drained it...
WTF Retards!

any recommendations on oil? I was planning on switching to the royal purple synthetic, but i would have to do a motor flush right? which non synthetic oil should I use. I was using rotella 15w-40. any thoughts?

use castrol 10w-30 first then after about 50-100 miles change it out with synthetic
