built LS-Vtec pushing blue off boost around corners?
 
hey guys,

just started to encounter this problem. Under boost doesnt make any smoke and she runs great, but recently during the breakin period, if get off the boost i will get a shot of blue smoke coming out of the exhaust.

The same scenario occurs if im going around a corner and im not in boost, the car will shoot smoke out the exhaust for a brief sec or two, enough to cause a small smoke screen.

Besides this, the car is running excellent and am having no issues. Any ideas as to what it could be?

Ive heard that the B-series motors have strong oil pressure and definately need to be running a restrictor in the feed line to the turbo. I will be installing this tomorrow and see if it cures my problem along with changing the PCV valve.

Ill give that a shot for now, as well as the usual check the plugs and do a compression test to make sure everything is good.

thx again.

It could be caused by a restricted oil return line which cause excess oil to accumulate in the turbo.

I believe worn valve seals also causes the same problem.

go down a hill under alot of compression braking. at the bottom stick it into a higher gear and then floor it. If u smoke, its ur valves
