my setup
sleeved b16 with rods and pistons
ported head with omni valve springs and retainers and itr cams
gt30r

2 issues

1) why does my catch can smoke so bad. the pics are it from just idleing

2) do i have my coolant lines to the 30r installed correctly. i tapped both the return and drain coolant lines going to the head i believe. the reason i ask is because the lines going to and back from the turbo do not feel nearly as hot as the radiator hoses

please guys any help is appreciated. im about to go insane with all this **** and give up on the honda game!!!

 

oh yeah and last time i did a comp check which was about 3 months ago my comp was good..... and it was smoking at that point as well!!

 

coolant lines arnt going to work like that, you will have almost 0 flow. Catch cans "smoke" when you have blow by, do a compression test and leak down but my bet is its time for a rebuild.

 

point me in the right direction on hooking up the coolant lines

 

take the tee's out, the water will flow the path of least resistance. You dont want the 3 inch long piece in there anymore, basically if you clamped that off it would work.

 

What does the mist smell like? If it smells like fuel then you are idle too rich.

 

possible cracked ring land?

 

it does smell like fuel a little as well as exhaust fumes

 

one of my friends mentioned this. if i did have a cracked ring land wouldnt my compression be jacked???

 

i have seen this issue before and it ended up being a cracked ring land. do a compression test or even a wet compression test to compare your results.

 

If that smoke is after a hard pass its no big deal, mine does that all the time, but if thats just normal driving off boost then errrrrrr....

 

This is how I run my coolant lines.
