well i have been experimenting with fuel managment options for my
88 mazda 323 1.6 sohc turbo car and this last weekend i turned the boost up on it
and it spiked to 16-17 psi and i said ---- it and just kept mashing the gas.
then the car starting smoking out the exhaust (white color) and
when i got back from the cruz, oil was shooting/bubbling out the vale cover breather and now i have low comp too.
what do you think happened? head gasket, rings both im pulling the head this weekend,
hopefully thats the only thing wrong(H.G.) and the 1.6 can make it threw the winter.
the car will get a boosted bp next.
what im running in this 88 323.............
.42/.48 t3
Probe I.C. (front mount tho)
2 1/4 exh. and hard i.c. pipes (pie cut maddness)and a log style manifold, ect,ect..
FMU at 6 psi (old managment)
323 gtx turbo ecu and injectors(1.6 dohc turbo stuff) (new managment)

 

i know, but it was fun for a while, seeing the stock 88 1.6 sohc only put down a big 82 hp in stock form.

 

Low comp. in just a few holes?
Massive blowby out of the valve cover, and a perma smoke screen from the exhaust immediately following a Nog boost level ripper = ringlands.
Cheap fix, just alot of labor.

 

yep cant fix it with the laptop :P

 

My comp test prior was good now it really low and the valve cover breather is throwing oil everywere(i have a breather filter on there) and when i open the hood oil was shooting/bubbling out of the breather filter.
i did this 1st comp test about a week 1/2 ago and have not drove the car since i did the 1st comp test, untill i spiked to 17 psi, so the b6 was handeling the low boost just fine for a while now.

comp was/// passengerside to driversside
215 / 220 / 219 / 210
comp now after 17 psi /// passengerside to driversside
75 / 100 / 73 / 175

 

Lol... owned by boost, I love it!

 

pictures! pictures!

 

will get some pics soon, i have a extra b6 that burned a lil oil, i have to call the guy and
ask him again what was wrong with it, and hopefully make 1 good motor, or it time to do a
bp swap and boost it of course.
i have had good luck with the bp's, i have (2) t3/t4ed turboed escort gt's with bp's in them
and th bp loves and takes the boost well.....
this 323 is/was/is going to be my winter ride.
