what causes blow by...um...worn oil rings in a piston motor.

Rotaries naturally have "blow by" since there's no way to keep oil out of the combustion chamber. it's just the nature of the motor, in my experience.

Are you sure it is oil smoke? Define, "smoking a little"
When you first got it rebuilt it did not smoke at all?

less than 300 rwhp? Something is very wrong with your setup or engine.

yeah, it is bluesh smoke. when i first start it when its cold it doesn't smoke. but after i drive it around and start it again it smoke like crazy for 1 or 2 min then it keeps on smoking a little.
when i first rebuild it, it didn't smoke at all !!

My set up is 100% right. enough fuel 1000/1600 Aeromotive. -8 lines everything is right !!

Denial, it's not just a river in Egypt. There is something VERY wrong with your setup, given you are making about 130-150 rwhp less than you should be.

The oil smoke is most likely because you need a restrictor in the oil feed line to the turbo.

How many miles are on the turbo? Any shaft play? Oil residue in the housings?

Who built the motor? It wasn't that hack shop Fuego Racing was it? If so, I'm not surprised your FD is jacked up

What's your description of blow-by?

Blow-by is normally the result of-->

Excessive side seal clearance or weak side seal springs. Same for corner seals/springs.
Out of spec side housings from high mileage etc. Side housings that have not been surfaced/lapped properly.
Bad or worned out oil control seals and springs.
Extreme case of blowby resulting from-->
Cracked rotor or from out of spec bearing clearances causing the tip of the rotor to come in contact with the side housings resulting in the corner and side seal getting stucked.
Too rich a fuel mixture causing oil wash/break down from side housings etc.

Since your car doesn't smoke right away and then starts, I would wager on oil restrictor pill, but it could be something wrong with the motor as Crispeed went into.

You still seem to be an ostrich with his head in the sand about your setup, something is SERIOUSLY wrong for you to be making such low power. I would check the ol' compression.

I beg to differ. My input was extremely relevant----you had a shitty mechanic touch your car, and he fucked it up. Bring your car to a *real* rotary shop, like Pettit.
