engine running wierd?
Ok heres the info..
base model 99 prelude...
fully greddy bolt on kit....
14psi on stock internals
its only set for 8psi but the turbo XS boost controller oost it up to 14 everytime..
walbro fuel pump
aem fuel rail
aem fuel pressure regulator
problem:
idles oddy....
actually now it wont even start..(after i tried turning my boost to 0.... this guy told me to try it...so i tried it.. it bogged for about 3 seconds and it died... ever since then it wouldn't start... )
it cranks over and all but it doesnt want to start at all
there is oil in my charge pipe and a little come out of my BOV..
at first i thoght it was only a turbo seal but now im thinking it could be my engine
there is white smoke coming from my breather if i take it off usually there is a pipe
connecting it to my charge pipe... also the idle is really odd.. and when the engine is warmed up it runs a lower idle around 800-600 and when i give it gas and the rpms drop it drops to about 400-500 most of the time it dies..... i have no clue what this is.. someone told me its my oil seal and it a vacuum leak.. others says its my piston rings... some say head gasket... but i dont think its a head gasket cuz there is no oil in my radiator... i have checked my dizzy, changed my spark plugs checked for fuel its all good... its cranks fine.. if anyone knows what it could be please help.. im gonna do a compression test later today....

Take pics of the plugs too if you can. What engine management are you running?

Re: (Lenne)
ouch dude... more than likely you cracked the ringlands, and messed up the, pistons, rods, and bearings. So pretty much you blew the motor. why didnt u fix or remove the boost controller if it was causing u to run at 14psi? the blue box wasnt tuned for 14psi. So more than likely you leaned out, blew the ringlands, drove some more with it when even though it idled funny, then finely took the rest of the motor with it. Oil in the charge pipes and bov r big signs of blown motors.
Have you checked the oil? Drain it and check for metal shavings, and possibly coolant in the oil
sorry it happened though man, good luck
