What's the prognosis? DR. I put a superchager on a 99 SS camero. After three runs of tuning it started blowing white / blue smoke. Vac went from 20 to 15, idle is rough. So what do you think it is? |
head gasket but that is just a wild guess without knowing more on it |
I was thinking maybe it was a piston. If I take off the oil filler cap I feel a small puff. What else do you need to know? |
Anyone else have any Idear what the problem is? |
is it just a slightly roughf idle or is it a dead miss. pull the plugs and see what is going on |
Could be a combination. White usually is water/coolant, and blue is usually oil related. |

How far off was the tune during the three runs? What were WB O2, spark, and knock at? I agree with pulling the plugs and doing a leak down to narrow your search. |

I agree with pulling the plugs and doing a leak down to narrow your search. so I opened the high and low octane table and lowered all cell values by 5. then did the second run (no ping) then I added 2 back into the High / low tables. then did third run (very little ping) I'll pull the plugs and see what they look like |
Anything else to look at? |
I have no real expierence with these type of superchargers but is there a chance that a seal could go bad in them allowing engine oil into the intake via the supercharger. the popping through the intake sounds like a different problem possibly in the tune |

So how much timing are you running at peak tq and hp? Do you know what your AF ratio is at?? |

Originally Posted by 2xLS1 Is that at WOT? Sounds more like part throttle/closed loop. This is while using EFILive and making scan runs. it is in SD with the MAF disconnected. also from idle to WOT |
