Smoking 120K above vtec
 

When i get on it and im reving past vtec and im in maybe 55 or 6 grand it smokes.. and it DOES burn oil so rings are on my list or possibly just another motor..? Its a D16z6 and for low miles i dont know if i should even TRY to turbo it currently smokin.. lol Should i just postpone the project till i get the Rings or motor? or just run really low boost.. its a t3 .48/.60 so on a SOHC spooling will be up high like 5500 rpm's.. low boost and drive her easy ? wich is a EXTREMLY hard thing to do when boosted... lol.. WHat should the future hold for this lil motor u guys?

damn how high are you revving? 120k above vtec :o ...i would honestly postpone the project till you get the rings fixed. it will only get worse once you boost it

Re: Smoking 120K above vtec
 

boost will be around 3500... does it feel strong? do a compression test n boost the bitch anyway. if ur gonna get a new motor might as well destroy this one.

120K miles on the motor my bad.. im not that hard on it AND IT PULLS HARD STILL. i know D16's are fairly cheap also .. i dunno what to do?

my friend had that problem and a few k miles after that, he started blowin smoke real bad, drinkin oil 1qt/100-150 miles... *waves goodbye to rings*

Well yeah a few months should be not to bad for me.. kinda pushing it.. how hard was he driving his car >? i mean once i have the ---- in.. i can start putting money towards the next motor or at LEAST a set of rings...its just the time consumption of pulling and pulling the pistons...it is a daily driver .. " im such a idiot" trying this with a daily driver lol.....

if you have a jdm ricer valve cover breather do you get smoke out of it? I had the same problem and I had smoke out of my jdm ricer breather, so you know what I did with it? I boosted it, now I get smoke all the time instead of just at high rpms, it may not be fixed but at least it's consistent.
