Smoking B18C1
Well, I've got a few issues with my B18C1, and I thought I would ask all you knowledgable people for some advice and/or solutions to my problems.
Right now, I have just finished turbocharging my essentially stock B18C1. Had a slight smoking problem before under load, so I tried to quell the issue with a Endyn breather kit. Installed, doesn't seem to be as bad, but there is a ton of smoke coming out the back under high load. It also consumes oil like its going out of style. The thing is, on a dry compression test, it puts out perfect numbers. The grommets on the valve cover have been changed as well. Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions towards the problem?
Also, my car was making a decent amount of power under boost when I first street tuned it. Now, the tune has only changed moderately due to weather changes, but its not making anywhere near the same power. Checked the plugs and they look good and I don't believe they are fouled out. No signs of detonation and brown tinge to them. Also checked for vacuum leaks and what not, but everything looks perfect. I don't know where the massive loss in power is coming from. Again, any suggestions, maybe its in the tune? Maybe my chip was installed improperly? I don't know, I'm at a loss again, just looking for some insight.
Thanks in advance!
