ok , well I have drag turbo on an stock ls. I'm getting major blowby . smoke is coming from the crankcase breather and when I pull off the oil cap also. I did a compression test and I get 150, 150, 90, 150. Has any one had a similar problem that can help me figure this out. I think it may be a piston ring or something in the head is bad. (valve seals).

I got greedy this weekend and ran 18psi. I had it tuned and running good at lower boost with my aem ems and I know I was still running rich, just maybe I blew a ring.

 

Probably cracked a ringland.

 

Seems like to me a ringland problem also.

 

cracked rings or ringlands that sux i went through that problem so many times with my integra. well look on the bright side you can rebuild the motor with stronger and forged parts.

 

Yeah I had the same thing happen about two weeks ago. My solution to the problem...I took the insurance off my car and I am planning to rebuild the motor. I knew it would happen eventually and I have concluded that it is the rings. You could still drive it but it will progressivly get worse. Good luck man, and be careful..

 

yeah, I know I can still drive it, but it sucks to see smoke coming from the hood. I've been doing some research on Golden Eagle blocks. If my head is still ok, then I think Ill get a b20 fully built, keep my ls tranny and go from there

I dont really want to get a vtec head, just want to keep things simple. hell while I have everything apart I think I throw a quife lsd in there as well.

any other sugestions as to what I should do are welcome.

thanks for the replys fellas.
