5k+ rpm = exhaust smoke screen under load?
Ever since I've owned my '86NA its been slow until I replaced my exhaust w/ a RB header and borla catback. I know the 5th & 6th ports dont work, but thats fine for now.
Whats been bothering me as of late is the nice spy-hunter smoke screen that my car makes when I rev past 5000 rpm. It only happens under load, so if I were to rev to 5k+rpm and let the rpm's drop to idle, it wont smoke at all, but say if I were to drive hard it'll smoke quite a bit. The car will also smoke alot even if I'm just holding the rpm's at 5k or more. The smoke is blue and I've been thinking its my oil injection system, but am also thinking its the oil control rings on the side of the rotors. I was thinking that the oil pressure at that rpm range is to much for the oil seals, but I honestly don't know enough about the oil system on the car to make a judgement call on what the issue is.
I've done some searching and came up w/ nothing.
I do plan on replacing the motor once it siezes w/ a turbo engine, but I want to keep this motor running as long as possible.
Thanks for any help!

Sorry to highjack ur thread. My car smokes everytime I rev it high, I noticed it happens when I'm just parked, don't know bout when I'm drivin. Could this be the same? But the smoke isn't blue its like a really light grey. I have a turboback exhaust with no cat. Is this normal?

NO!
You remove the lower plug holes and fill them with a tablespoon of ATF... Then remove the EGI fuse and crank the engine or spin it by hand if possible (with the plugs reinstalled)...

The Cause of Death
Be wary of the "ATF Trick." When unflooding a motor, some people say to do it.
On the other hand, ATF does eat at some of the internal seals in the motor, so be careful. If I'm doing anything, like the unflood procedure, I just use some oil and put it in the plug holes.
Just food for thought.

Personally, I really don't understand why you would put ATF to stop it from smoking. In fact I've never heard of using ATF to treat a smoking problem. I've used it to start a rebuild with low compression before. I suppose if the oil system is really bad it might help an engine on its last legs anyway....But to just start dumping in ATF without investigating other causes.....well I don't know about that.
