blue smoke no boost

[Alex Bland]

so i just replaced the pcv valve hose, and the bov hose and no its smoking blue and wont boost.. i was thinking maybe i pluged them in wrong so heres what i did, the bov hose is going into the intake by the injectors, and the pcv is going into the loweish part of the intake? did i mix them up?

 

[dawid4444]

you are right

 

[Alex Bland]

huh i wounder why its doing this then.. i didnt change anything.

check for oil and shaft play on your turbo, it could be blown.

+10 sounds like your turbo is the problem probably still rebuildable unless you hear it scraping the housing severely.

i just rebuilt it and was making 9psi and i took off the 2 hoses and changed them and now it says 0...

ok so problem fixed? i just let my car sit and cool down and it worked? last time i was letting it run for almost 40 mins and then i tryed to drive it. i think it smoked blue cause these only 350 miles on the motor right now. english racing rebuilt it. but it still wouldnt boost i think...maybe it was i dont think so though. is there something with these cars that if you let them run for a while then get in it wont boost right?

LoL, wow. Sounds like a dsm. LoL, but concerning. I do experience technical difficulties when I let my car sit for extended periods of time then attempt to drive it. Doesn't seem to like long periods of idling. If I have to idle longer then a normal Red light I just turn off car. And 40mins of just idling? When I start my car every morning I let it sit there just till the temp gauge start's to rise (about 2min) and drive, and on warm starts let my idle level out then go.

The amount of time your car runs should not have anything to do with whether your car builds boost. Do a BLT and let us know.

 

[jwahl16]

with only 350 miles on the engine you shouldnt be in boost at all. I'm pretty sure you need at least 500 of easy driving to let everything set.


Edit: I see you only rebuilt your turbo not your motor, so yeah I guess it's just one of those mysterious things that happen with dsms.

It couldn't hurt doing a boost leak test though!

i let it idle that long cause it was dead =p and i cant just turn it off without a lap around the block

i havnt updated it yet. i rebuilt my turbo, and english racing rebuilt my motor.. they said that they broke in the motor for me and it would be fine.

either boost leaks or you may have an oil pressure issue. 9 psi is what my brothers motor would boost when the main bearings were in wrong. What is your oil pressure? if its not good then your likely to spin a rod bearing just like my brothers motor. If you have the balance shaft delete done wrong by them they you will also make no boost because of the low oil pressure and then you will spin a rod bearing. That happened last week to my friend 4.5 miles on his motor.

Few things I have seen here.

1st There is a good chance there is a Forward facing oil filter housing on the car which only has one oil port after the filter so they seem to run in the 5-10psi range off that port at low idle 500-800, but should jump to 60+ past 2k.

2nd The fact that you rebuilt your own turbo is probably a good reason why its failed and does not boost at fast in 1st like it should. Most turbos fail for a reason not just ware out so the chance of just doing a rebuild kit and having it work is very low.

3rd Read on your last post during a boot leak check you plugged off the vent to the motor this is also very bad for my motor causing oil leaks. Can also cause you to push oil past your turbo seals. So this could have caused some of your turbo problems.

about the first one.. is there a way to tell and what years came with other oil filter housing?

Well the filter will face forward not towards the DP and its one we just by its from a mighty max truck. They seem to have less problems with the oil filter spinning off. (Which is a common DSM problem) Some times even on the stock style the sender is put in to the post oil filter source.

Some of our guys here think its safer that way since the light will be on the verge of coming on at low low RPM. So for one you know its working and if you do ever see the light come on over 1k you have a few more Sec notice. Also since the oil filter problem is common. When the sender is in the stock location all the oil has to pump out of the motor before the light will ever come on ware is if its after the filter you will see the light right away since you oil is pumping on the ground and not into the motor.

Oh so are you saying the guys down at your shop put that "newer" oil filter houseing on my car? haha sorry i got kinda confused.
