Take off the mani and check. Doesn't take long

I bought a new PCv valve from rockauto. I figured it was that or the turbo so I bought both since this started after the turbo swap.

Well changing the valve fixed all my issues. Fixed lean fuel trims, fixed rough cold start and smoking, but smoking I'm still paranoid about till its gone at least a week without doing it. I advise u to do what I'm doing, Powell seperator v3, it blocks off the pcv valve port to intake and routes it to oil seperator, so no more oil in intake ever again, and if u do, it can only come from turbo

I need a powell separator

I'm gonna be selling my v2 seperator, ud need to buy the lines and dipstick tube from Powell but since mine is used, only like 2 weeks old though, replacement for my busted one, due to carelessness, I'll sell it to u for cheap if u want

What's the difference from the v2 to the v3?

sev

I also have a bad cold start and wacky fuel trims.
Hopefully its that simple and I can sell my extra super core.

Sounds like that's probably what it is

sev

Lets see, I will test it out tomorrow and see what happens.

Yea my PCV does the same thing yours does.

Looks like u don't need a turbo after all. I did a data log run today. Still no smoke. I did get a puff starting from a stop , but I'll chalk that up to still some left in the exhaust or a little bit going though the valve in vacuum, which happens. Gonna seafoam it to clean it out today. Idles like new now, cold starts are perfect, just need to tune the trims in. So ya, she is fixed. Woo.

Haha I agree with you

Thats awesome man. Its always crazy how such a small piece of the puzzle can fix everything

tomj77

well son of a bitch. after some boosting, now it smokes even more. but my trims also went off again, so either by valve poped out cause I wasn't sure it it was in all the way, or my turbo is effed. I seafoamed like I do tons of other times, went to clear that out, it was good for a while, went on a few boosts, waited for about 5 minutes and it started smoking like a bastard, doesn't even stop this time. my vacuum on the gauge is notacably less at idle, so me thinks the damn valve poped out, maybe patrolium jelly on the oring was a bad idea. ill have to take the bastard apart again tomorrow and find out. cross all ur fingers.

guess I'm getting a new turbo after all. dammit. I'm so paranoid now, if I get new turbo and it still smokes. I'm gonna be so extremely pissed.

sev

damn
I will let you know today if mine smokes,.
The new pcv and turbo are both in there but havent tested it

what is your vacuum btw

That sucks, and I'm curious what you vacuum is also. I changed my pcv over the winter and didn't put anything on it.

I put just a touch of engine oil, didn't want to rip the o-ring. Not sure how petroleum jelly would act compared to oil, but I'm assuming that the jelly will last longer and could allow the pcv to pop out since there really isn't anything holding it in

tomj77

iTrader: (2)

well the pcv was still in there and working. did notice come oil around it and under the oring for some reason. I cleaned it and put it back in. will see what that does, don't think it will fix the smoke though. I'm gonna try a few things today see if I can see what exactly is smoking.

tomj77

iTrader: (2)

well get on it lol want to know for sure

just took car for a run with downpipe not connected. no smoke again. this is a head scratcher. I'm gonna leave it unhooked for a day and see what happens, if it does smoke maybe ill get some liquid coming out. if I do its pretty safe to say its turbo, if not, gotta be in combustion chamber. which still doesn't show signs of it being but u never know.

sev

Did you check the turbo drain by any chance.
