Check Out The Smoke

http://www.villier.net/kyfbody/videos/chrismdyno.wmv

I have this posted in internal engine, but not getting any bites

TEST YOUR TROUBLE SHOOTING SKILLS
car was rich in the video, but even after the tune it still smokes at WOT and on deceleration from WOT. after leakdown test and compression check came out good. I was left out in the wind. The guys at TEA say some lS1's just do this. Its a 2000 A4 with only mods being free mods and dual exhaust with Mac heaqders. I put down 315 hp ant 326 tq. corrected. on that run. tell me what you guys think. The car is strong as hell and has done this for ever. I have posted on here about it before, but Nobody realy had any clue withput seeing it ,, so here it s. Also, the car has always been kinga freaky fast in comparison to my friends A4 cars. It did 8.60's bone *** stock and with headers and free mods, it did 8.42 (1/8th mile) SMoking all the way down the track. My wife videoed one of my runs one day and thats thge only reason i noticed the smoke. That was in 2001. the car is still just as strong as ever. and just as smokey

WHATS THE VERDIC DOC???

That smoke looks kind of blue to me, that usually means oil. Check your pcv or put a catch can and see if that helps. Do you burn a lot of oil? Could be a number of things, you just need to eliminate them one by one and go from there. Good luck and keep us informed.

it was rich in the video, but that was the baseline run before i had the tune done. It didnt smoke so bad after the tune, but it still smoked

I had basically the same problem...but worse!
After I had the cam/headers(MAC MIDS) installed, it smoked like a freight train!
Compression tests were good, but it still smoked.
The car went thru 1 quart of oil ever 100 miles!
How much oil are you burning?

As it turned out, the new Oil pump that went in at same time was bad..Ended up with some oil starvation and nuked the oil rings(according to the shop).
The motor was rebuilt, block was honed/prepped etc..Diamond rings.. and new connecting goodies... No more oil..
Even when the car was smoking, it was still strong. After the rebuild, I only gained 1 tenth in the 1/4. So, in my experience, its no suprise your car is still laying down the numbers...

Good luck!
