my boy just got his skunk2 pro series manifold installed with the skunk2 TB and now the car is running lean as hell!! its smoking a lot and we have no clue what the problem could be...does anybody have any ideas???

b4 we brought it to the shop the car was running fine...now after the install its smoking...when i was driving home behind him i smell fumes and see smoke..

is this all due to the increased air??? or is there something else wrong?

 

Regardless of what's wrong, the shop that installed the stuff fucked it up. Take it back and make them fix that along with anything else you may have fucked up while driving it.

 

I just did the same install on my car and have the same problem.

Anymore info on what it could be would be helpful.

 

I'm guessing you're not getting a CEL or you would've mentioned that, right? Did you double-check your vacuum setup? I'm not sure if that could cause what you're describing or not though, just an idea.

 

PCV connected properly to IM?

Got a CEL so i gotta get the code.

Gonna check that when i do all the other stuff.

 

What color is the smoke??? And do you know if they used an OEM intake manifold gasket. It may be coolant that is entering into the combustion chamber.

The smoke on mine is white and its kinda sweet smelling. I used a stock replacement head gasket.

Seems like your burning coolant... did you use a NEW intake manifold and TB gaskets?

 

Did you torque it down properly? If what you said is true then coolant is 100% definitely getting into your a/f mixture BEFORE it ignites....so that means one of two things...intake gasket or head gasket. Considering you didn't have this problem before you did your install I would be totally confident in saying its your intake gasket. I did all that thinking from over 6 thousand miles away...without even looking at your car!! Good luck figuring it out... trouble shooting seems to be a rare skill nowadays.
ninja edit: yeah and the TB gasket....dang....
