What makes smoke come out of a hood?

Syringer · Sep 17, 2003

Not in a bad way..but I've seen videos of heavily modded cars where they would do the burn out thing, and then have smoke release from their hood?

I believe that is from bleeding off the nitrous system, or something to that effect.

Nitrous purge.

To clarify: This is done to get rid of any NO2 that has turned to gas.

your car is on fire?

This only happens to cars with Ford emblems. 🙂

Sometimes there is excess smoke left over from the burnout that gets trapped under the hood.

Sometimes it's clutch smoke... Then you laugh really hard if you're watching.
