car smokes at idle unless i rev a lil
if i let my car warm up and sit at idle it will smoke some bluish/white smoke ( i run open DP ) the only way it stops is if i manually raise the idle a lil by pressing the gas.. my idle is at like 900 now . if it sits it will start smoking some.. if i raise it the smoke stops.. i dont get it . compression is 170 ish on 3 and 160ish on the other cyl. but that should not make that happen i dont think. its a crx si motor turbo. zdyne engine management. i use a -10 stainless oil drain like which isnt kinked either..

i changed the oil line back to like a -14 size and it seems all good.. i dunno. i guess i wasted 30$ on -10 stainless line for no reason

-10AN line is definitely enough for an oil drain, but larger oil lines would compenate for poor oil line routing or excessive length, dips, low spots, etc. I am running an -8AN line on mine, but I have a GT-series turbo with a nice restrictor on it.
