Default I cant get by 80 km/h

Well i gave the ol' d15b7 to hella shifts at 6400 rpm and now she don't accelorate worth a dam past about 1700 rpm. The gas pedals moves up and down freely and speed and rpm just slowly climbs. I checked the oil, it was low after putting a whole quart in 2 weeks. Due for oil change not for another 1000 kms. Pulled out the dipstick after putting in new oil and some smoke was comin out.

What you think? I have been saving for a swap and refuse to fix this thing, but would like top hear what I may have done to her.

thanx for any comments!!

Sounds like it's time for a compression & leakdown test. That should yeild your answer.

Good Luck

Ya i think it will sit in the driveway while I study for exams and look into more swap stuff. I refuse to spend one sent on that drivetrain.
