OK I just got done installing a jdm b16 into my hatch. I have a turbo kit on it and there are no leaks in the feed or return. I just got it running the other day and while i was on a two hour drive i would see blue smoke come out in little clouds every so often. Also almost the whole time i am driving i smell a burning oil smell from the engine bay. But sometimes it goes away. like i said it only blows a small cloud of blue smoke every once in awhile. Any guesses? i thought it may be the valve seals but i am not sure, return is not kinked or anything. Any guesses?

 

anyone?

 

out of the exhaust? could be blow by or could me a pcv problem could be rings could be valve seals

 

well today i was downgearing till i got to where i stopped, as soon as i stopped i looked and it was blowing smoke out of the exhaust????

pcv is fine and i checked and there is no blow by

 

Any other guesses?

 

OK here is exactly what it does, when i am going around turns or going straight and i am in high gear pulling lots of vacuum it will be fine, then when i go from high up in a gear to giving it gas it will blow some blue smoke and be fine untill i do it again. like i said its only when i am downgearing and then give it gas.

Try this...



Hopefully you're running a good, thick oil.. like M1 0w-40

 

I am running castrol 10w-30 part synthetic in her right now. also i did check the pcv valve and it was rattling around i was told that was a sign that it is ok.
I dont see the pcv system being a problem with this though.

 

I have the same problem. Every 200 miles or so I have to add an oil quart and changed a fouled spark plug.

 

sounds like a piston rong... i had a very similar problem... one of my piston rings aligned... which is completely uncommon but it sounds like it has to do with the rings... does it only happen when u are in boost or as soon as u left off from being in boost and it lets a bit of smoke come out..... and then it is normal again...

my problem would only show as soon as i left off, after being in boost.... and compression started to drop.... have you done a compression test ??

 

I still wanna buy ur car, sorry to go off topic, 757 233 9542 please call.

 

sounds like oil drain not to good or oil seals in the turbo not the best. Do you have a header for it ? Take off the turbo and run it na and see if it still smokes. If it does it sounds like pcv or rings but i bet it is the turbo or drain.
