car has sort of a hesitation down low and smokes when you give it half throttle and my power isnt the same either, also it seems my gas mileage took a **** when this started happening. motor is a stock b16 t3/t4 10 psi crome pro

ANYBODY?

Do a compression test, both wet and dry. If the numbers on the wet are significantly higher, then your rings or ringlands are mostly shot.

ek_chris

Excatly. But it does sound like your ringlands are going out. So to the dry/wet test to confirm.

THANKS GUYS. but will that cause sort of a hesitation?

When my rings gave out, i just noticed my car was leaking oil like crazy and my exhaust was spewing oil out. No real hesitation though.. i knew it was my rings for sure when i did my compression test.

It sounds like the complete opposite to me.If the car isnt smoking or consuming oil than ur problem is something else.

Do the tests and go from there, but if it checks out then i would say its ur ignition, wether it be mechanical or ur tune i have no idea.

i just smoked like crazy, turns out my piston had a hole in it and it crackd the ringland

boostedcivicsir

he hee they usually idle like a wrx

turbo-crx

it doesnt smoke out the downpipe. or leak any oil. smoke is coming from my intake manifold area not my exaust

Drummerboy

exactly.
my car sounded like a Subaru at idle and part throttle.

i actually kind of liked the sound. the smoke wasn't any fun though.

turbo-crx

I HATE THAT SOUND and my power is alot weaker at part throttle or even half throttle.

turbo-crx

oh and it doesnt smoke that bad at idle but the damn thing barely idles half the time with my 1000cc injectors

rorik

how is your pcv system set up?
hopefully your setup doesn't inhale the blow by/and or pressurize the crankcase. If you have it set up so you can see the blow by (ie, filter on valve cover, filter on catch can,etc), you'll see a big cloud of **** coming out under boost. If it does that, you don't need any more tests, you know..

turbo-crx

I Have A Breather On The Valve Cover, How Are You Supposed To Tell If A Cloud Of **** Comes Out The Breather Underboost? If Rings Are Bad Does It Smoke Out The Exhaust? The Only Place It Smokes Is Buy My Intake Mani Area

turbo-crx

im doing a compression test tonight after work. what else would cause the car to smoke by the intake manifold ? could it be injector related like throwing to much fuel in?

turbo-crx

if compression checks out ok. what else should i look for?

esedulerp5tenin

j/w what you guys mean by "wet/dry" compression test.
do you do the dry first, then pour a capful of oil down the spark plug hole for wet??

^Would also like to know.

Typically how long does it take for ringlands to go if you're daily driving (no hard boosting)?

is it smoking out of the valvecover breather near the intake mani? Thats a sure sign you have some issues with ringlands.

turbo-crx

IT DOESNT SMOKE OUT OF THE BREATHER. IT SOUNDS MORE LIKE A LEAK THAN A MISFIRE AND IT LOOKS LIKE ITS COMING FROM YOUR INTAKE MANIFOLD.

JaredKaragen

u prolly blew the hose off the breather box on the back of the block, oil dripping onto the exhaust?

not much it could be over there;

ridin98civic

try turning off your caps lock, that seems to fix my problems.

just do a compression test, could also be a valve issue, esp since you say the smoke is coming from your intake mani.

no ****. This is thread is dumb. Smoke coming from the IM?? Check your breather box. You shouldn't be pressurizing the crankcase under boost, if you are, figure out why and change it.
