Couple Questions About Header and Exhuast Install
Ok the installation was a fun but gruling. Now that everything is done, i have a really big question. 1st thing i'll break down what i've done to the car. I installed a Bosal MX-6 header and a "catless" exhaust. I'm running straight pipe to a resonator and a MagnaFlow muffler. We get it on the dyno. I made 113whp and 107wtq. I got it out on the street. I went for a spin. Sounds nice, pulls harder. But my friend was following me, said that when i pinned it a puff of blue smoke came out????? I know that means i'm burning oil. Is it possible that since i'm nut running any cats this is the result. Please let me know....If it isn't i will be running a leak down test.

??? were you able to hook up the egr valve to your car? do you have pics of the installation
|
no the egr isn't hooked up yet, i also am running 1 of the O2 sensors. No pics yet. Can anyone help with the intial question?
|
If it was a blackish blue, it was fuel smoke......If it was more of a white color, it was oil smoke........Duncan

black = fuel
blue = oil white = coolant Maybe you should check your plugs to see if oil is on them. |
is it possible since i only have 1 O2 sensor hooked up, and no EGR that this is occuring. I've noticed the smoke after we installed the header and exhaust.
|
Is it possible that your new headers or exhaust system have some grease or something inside that's burning off? I have heard that sometimes mandrel-bent exhausts have some residual grease inside the pipes form where the mandrel-bending machine's lube got left behind.
This should burn off in a few miles, though, I'd think. |
Keep an eye on it, but even without cats you shouldn't see any smoke... :dunno:
