1G It smells like gas

[ANGELRAY]

I opened the the oil cap today and it smelled like gas inside, is that good or bad? And there was a little bit for white liquid on the cap not sure if I have a leak.
Anyone able to help diagnose ?

I’m getting a ECMLink to tune it but not sure if I need to repair anything on the engine.

Based on other posts it's not surprising that it smells like gas. Condensation can cause milky oil deposits.

Make sure you have a good PCV valve and change the oil. Since you're going to install ECMLink you'll need to verify exactly what injectors are installed so you can set it up.

I'm not a fan of the Magnacore spark plug wires but if they work for you, great. Keep an eye on them they are known for shorting out.

I was reading some forums about the turbo I have and they were saying that the stock fuel injectors short out or something like that and that they were gonna upgrade to 650 or 550 fuel injectors would this be a good idea for me ?

I'm really surprised that with the SBR Turbo you don't already have some sort of larger injectors and fuel pump, which is why I keep requesting you do an inventory of exactly what's in your car.

Depending on what fuel you are thinking of running you might want much larger injectors but on gas I think you going to want bigger than 650's to avoid maxing out the duty cycle.

Marty might have a better idea what would be the right size.

I personally would look at 1100-1200cc injectors and scale them back. If you change fuels (E85) you will need 30% more fuel delivery to the injectors right off the bat and then more if you turn up your boost and are running Ethanol. I bring it up because, if you have the ability to run E85, you will notice a pretty good increase in power and with power it requires sufficient fuel supply, which 550's or 650's just can't do. These are my personal opinions, but I run 1100's in my mostly stock 90 GSX and just scaled them down for gasoline.
