some kills..

so im driving home form work and im on the hi-way, doing 70 not that much over the speed limit, i see headlights approching me so i dont feel like abusing the poor car and wasting gass so i go into the middle lane, and 03 eclipse v6 flys by, it so happens he exits off the same exit as me, so im driving local now on my way home, and i see a nice golf 1.8t dropped with rims and a exhaust.. so i was like what the hell, mean while i forgot about the 03 eclipse who is now behind me, so i get along side of the 1.8t, at 20 hit the gas about 1/2 throttle in 2nd and let the ssqv do the talking, he takes the bait and masshes it, after i hear him get on it i downgear back into 2nd and go 75% throttle shifting at 5100 right before by turbo starts backing down by now im 1 car ahead doing about so usually id say f it and call it a day but for some reason i stood on it got to 70 and i was atleast 2 1/2 cars infront of him, i slowed down he pass with a nasty look on his face then the 03 elcipse get on my ass, so i just mash it in 3rd creep up about 3 cars and let off,
he gets the idea and stays behind me,

it was ither the bov of the backfire that scared him off. o0o well.. fun night..

i hope tat fixes his car soon i want another run at him, i think i can do better now i got alittle more top end i can hang past 60-70 now... it will be fun but hopefully ill get a chance at him before he tunes his car again, then i stand even less of a chance..

haha, nice kills. i don't know which sound i like better, a healthy-sounding V8 or a nice bov.

yeah man your car definitly got alot quicker. so yeah as soon as i get another turbo i'll let you know, you'll be one of the first people to know.

nice kill

Nice kills. What dod you do to help your top end out? Good luck when you run him. You coming to Fl anytime soon?

how about a healthy-sounding v8 with a nic bov?

i got rid of my cat, that help out alot with my top end issues, the car doesnt back down anymore after 70.

but im faced with another problem again, the car is burning oil, i got the dreeded blue smoke from my exhasut, its faint at idle once the car is warmed up , and when i get at it my friend says every time i let off their is a puff of grey/blue smoke form the exhasut, and also a dam burning smell... poor car, it sucks to know just when you get your car running decent, its gona give up soon one you.. its like knowing your best friend has cancer and their is nuthing that you can do about it but just sit back and see how long more they got.. o0o well i got to make the best out of it..

You could rering the pistons by removing the cylinder head, and oil pan, removing the connecting rods, and push the piston out the top. Also replace oil seals, head gasket, oil pan gasket and valve cover gasket. It's a ford, so parts should be cheap, and probably a Sunday in the garage should be enough.

yea but even if i had the tools, the money is stiff, and then i would want it pro. done, i mean if i invest money in this aspect some thing else will go bad, the car does has 162k on it..its sucks. i dont know what to do.

I would compression test it. You may get lucky and it could just be valve stem seals. What weight oil are you running?

Agreed. If it just smokes at start up (after its set for awhile) and when you left off the gas, then more then likely its just valve stem seals, which isn't really that bad of a problem (and a lot easier fix then rings).

I have the same problem right now. Not such a bad thing. At least the valve stems are being lubricated well.:lol: I'm not too worried about it. Just a little smoke at startup and an occasional puff. No oil consumtion. The oil level hasn't dropped since I last changed it. Compression is still good. Good luck turbo2nr.

thanks for the hope, well my car does consume a little oil, inbetween oil changes i have to add a 1/4 quart in the car, i use hi-milage synthetic oil form castrol, 10w-30 for the winter and 5w-30 for the summer..

ill get it checked out and see whats up.. i hope is a valve sterm seal. also it could be blow-by form the turbo i do notice oil in hte upper i/c pipes slight oil tho nuthing serious, but the thing that worries me is the breather filter on my valve cover smokes some times, that scares me.. any info on that?

thanks again

well i told him over the phone to pull out one of the intercooler pipes, to see if theres oil in it. and it does. so that means his turbo is going.
