Default Car Broke? Smoke, Oil in engine compartment

I found out that my window switch was my problem with the Nitrous. Bypassed it for one run. (That was a mistake)

Sprayed out of the hole (spinning). 1st and 2nd pulled nice. Then you can hear in the vid, shifting into 3rd the car fell on its face. And you can see alot of smoke in the rear view.

Smoke

Can seemes to run fine. But if I get into boost, smoke from the engine compartment. The oil seems to be coming from the PCV valve area. :dunno:

Ran the car, everything sounds good. It seems like I am pushing out oil. Could it be from the PCV valve?

It looks ok to me. Ive seen a broken ringland before. If it had one it would be smoking alot more than that for sure. Do a compression check. Might have hurt it a little but I dont think it warrants ripping it out. I could be wrong since it is a video and really cant tell too well!

There is very slight puff of smoke, pretty much what you see in the video.

I hope I didn't hurt my forged motor.

Oh thats all? Well I dont know that you would be in a bad way then... mine smoked alot for at least 5 mins or so. You may have just fuel starved it for a second (falling on face feeling)....

That shift into 3rd was weird. But I normally only spray to 6300. That run was to 6800.

But I do have to found out where the oil is leaking from.

Thats the first thing I thought that happened. But nope. It was still in. I thinking maybe I pushed out someplace else.

The best that night without nitrous was 7.37 @ 92.40 1.64

Thanks guys. I took it for a spin this morning. Still pushing oil out someplace under boost.

But this time, there is alot more smoke coming out of the oil spout. Doesn't look good. I also hear a ticking.

Still drives fine. I guess there is some internal damage.

Smoke

hate to say it but that's a ringland that's gone. looks like you're in for another rebuild.

did you lean out on that run?

Looks like ringlands. Is that chug with the pcv hooked up?
