Taboo speed shop setup, now burning oil.

[turbo2086]

Okay the emmission stuff I already had done. What I did today was hook up both ends of the catch can, to both ends of the valve cover. I then capped off the plug on the intake manifold.

As soon as I got out of the driveway and went down the street, smoke was pouring out of my exhaust, and I could just smell oil.

I was like . I brought her back to the aparment, and then took the catch can off, and took of the cap for the intake manifold. Ran the hose back from the manifold to the pcv, and so fourth, like back to factory.

Thought it would solve my problem. A little, I can still see smoke coming out of my exhaust, and mostly if I allow it to start building boost is when its happening now. After driving down the street again, I could start to smell the burning oil. At idle my vacumm is at 16, thats how it always is. Also at idle, I put my finger on the left valve cover port, (breather), there is very little suction, and I want to say it feels like it push air out, instead of sucking. I hope this just has to do with my pcv valve.

Does your catch can have a vent on it?

 

[turbo2086]

No, it was kinda of one I made myself.

You have to vent the pressure out of it somehow to relieve the pressure in the crankcase.

That make sense, cause when i pulled off one of the hoses I heard air come out. Do you think the oil burning is just the excess, and just need to burn it off?

You may have pushed oil around the seals in the turbo. Keep an eye on it for awhile it might clear up. It only takes a drop or two of oil to see blue smoke coming out of your tail pipe.

K well I'm going to go drive it up and down the street, and see how that goes. Thx

Worst case scenario you have damaged some engine seals with the excess pressure. Watch for excessive leaks where there were none before.

If you're lucky, how long did you drive the car like that? First check the LICP and IC, you should have tons of oil there. If this is true, clean out your entire intake tract, run the car for a while and see if smoking persists and whether oil re-appears in LICP. If it does persist, your turbo seal and/or valve seals are probably in question. Didn't your dipstick pop? Did you pinch the dipstick tube shut?

I drove the car about 1/2 mile with that setup. I just got back from driving around 8 miles. Stopped got some gas. I stopped smelling oil, and I do not see any smoke coming out of the exhaust anymore.

No my oil dipstick didnt come off, its not pinched either. I only know of one occasion that it popped out on me.

I have not checked the piping yet, but I probably will do that in a lil bit.

Everything seems to be like normal.

Thx for the help.
