Smoke Problem When at Operating Temp
 
I have recently installed a half cut engine into my fd3s. I am running a wolf 3d v4 ecu. The car is running fine when it is cold because it's running on basic settings that are programmed into the ecu.

However when at operating temp it is boggin down and has more then excessive smoke. I guessing as it is switch over to operat off the signals from the engine sensors that there is an open ciruit somewhere or that it's dumping to much oil into the rotors.

Just wondering if anyone else has come across this same problem or if you would have any idea as to what it maybe

What colour is the smoke? What are your mods? Could be a fuel issue...

Yeah i thought it was fuel but has a real strong oil smell and slight fuel

I thought maybe it was and oil injector or omp. But doesn't explain why there is no smoke until the engine has warmed up. Car runs real rough and won't boost either (which would indicate possible fuel problem). Also it has new Garrett T04Z turbo fitted today, so the turbo is not a problem.

Any ideas?

Is it possible that it's my omp or a sensor?

Ok Oil problem is from the turbo. So my old turbo probably had nothing wrong with it. Anyhow oil is in the comp housing so i am guessing that i must be running to high of oil pressure. I understand that the garretts have an oil restrictor in the turbo standard. Maybe my garrett has the incorrect restrictor or that my oil pressure is too high.

What are your thoughts on this?
