As everyone knows from my "dyno" thread, i'm having issues w/ the car. Ill try to cliff note it since ill just start rambling and lose my spot...
Ok, here we go.
The car has a Mopar Stage 3 kit which consists of (most importantly) a new exhaust manifold (which is fully ported) and a Mitsu TD05HR-15GK2-10cm2 turbo. The car dynoed 340whp at 21psi which is extremely good for the boost level (and a potentially bum turbo). However, theres a problem.
When i accelerate I hit very hard and there are no problems at all. No hesitation, no smoke out the exhaust, nothing. When i let off the gas and start to decel, my exhaust will do the normal srt gurgle but then randomly it will pop louder than normal and smoke will come out the tip. Smoke amount varies and from what i can SEE, it looks like whiteish smoke. Havent noticed any blue.
There is a weird smell from the exhaust that COULD be oil but it doesnt smell like it to me or any of my friends. THe exhaust tip itself has no oil residue anywhere and has the normal carbon buildup.
Moving on, it would appear i have a leak coming from where the turbo and manifold mate up. I can see oil on the tray below the exhaust mani and its burning off so i have smoke under the hood...and we all know how long it takes oil to burn off...yippee. However, i cant readily tell if the oil is coming from the turbo or from the return line under it. The car will mostly go back to AMS so they can check over their work. Initial concerns were that the turbo seals were pretty much shot but i would think id have a lot of crap coming out the exhaust during wot as well...i can SMELL oil in the engine bay but its the shit being burned off..I know i'm being vague and its hard to diagnose this problem via computer, but I'm throwing it out there mainly for ideas to check and think about.
So...thoughts? questions?
edit: i took this video right now infront of my house (6/18) and you can see what the car is doing. and its as if my fears have come true, i am indeed blowing some smoke when i'm on the gas too....enjoy
