smoking problem
well, the other day i raced with this car from second gear shifting right at or a little before redline up until 4th gear. i let my car cool down after that.
the next day i start it up...its fine no smoke. but when its warmed up and i get to a stop, after a while it would start to smoke. its not too bad but it is noticeable.
when driving around, its fine. no smoke whatsoever. only when im at a stop or parked somewhere.
my car is a 90TII w/ S5 Jspec. i swapped turbos with my old motor when i did the engine swap so maybe my turbo crapped out on me? cuz i would rev to 5k and no smoke would shoot out.
I am also running on premix with partially fouled plugs. ( yea i know its stupid but i have to wait to the next check to pick some up)
so any ideas on the smoke? this was never doing it before this happened. and also i raced like this before. im just praying its not a control ring.

yea i guess that could be the case. i mean i dont really measure it when its time to add. i just go by what I think is best. hah oh well...lesson learning.
the smoke is kinda white....but i can't tell if it has a blue hue to it or not. smells a little sweet though. and i do have to check up on my radiator fluid alot. gotta refill it every couple of days.

well just went driving around for a while. and i got a good whiff of that smoke.... definately doesnt smell sweet. so i guess that means its oil.
i forgot to mention an important factor that may contribute. i installed a 3inch TID pipe using abs plastic. i got it off Scott89T2's page. (very informative btw) www.1300cc.com
ever since i installed that, i noticed my idle would rest at a steady 1300rpm. but today while i was sitting in traffic, i would sorta ride the clutch so my rpms would drop down to OEM idle 700-750rpm and it i saw no smoke!
so my guess is that what RotaryWeaponSE7EN said that im burning too much premix. thats caused by the high idle.
yep i still have my OMP stuff in the motor.
