2 oz of premix to 2 gallons of gas seems a bit excessive.

you need like 2-4 oz for an entire tank!



show me a pic of how your crank case is vented. you need to cap the breather on the filler neck and leave the breather on the middle housing open

don't they both lead to the same place?



anyhow, I left the charcoal canister on my car so I still have the nipple on the intermediate housing going to that. On the filler I put a tiny k&n filter on so it can vent to atmosphere...

on my TII if you cap both it will smoke alot. if you vent both it might cause it too.........

if you vent both it won't cause smoke, capping both causes smoke because the crankcase gets pressurized when the blow-by has nowhere to go.... venting both is just redundant as far as I can tell.

Isn't it suppose to be like a 1oz/1 gallon premix?



how long have you let it idle so far?

damn guys don't me get me all excited..... I could have swore that it was 1oz per gallon.... **** if thats what it was I would shoot myself..

I am going to yank the turbo tommorrow....screw the bs

that amount of smoke and the color is definately oil, I would suspect that you lost the rear seal on the turbo, looks exactly like my GT-R at the moment, car runs fine, covers the neighborhood in smoke though, and look out if you decide to hit boost, you will look like James Bond trying to get away from somebody.

The turbo on my T2 does this also. It looks like I hit the smoke screen button from Spy Hunter... Newer, bigger turbo on the way though! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif
