Anyone else experience more smoke at WOT after getting flashed? I am thouroughly happy with the product, but notice now more smoke when WOT, as though it is running richer than before....Any ideas??

 

What are your modifications ? I think you have had the flash for a long time if my memory serves me correctly ?

 

had it for a month or two now. not that long. I have HKS cat-back, Hallman MBC, Koyo Rad, HKS Suction Intake, Defi boost gauge(Set to peak 21 taper to 19)....I had to turn up the hallman slightly after the flash to hit 21psi.

I sent my ecu to you when you were down at Orlando.
I am really please with the performance so far...

 

When did you get the flash, and after the flash, what new parts did you put on the car?

 

It was NOV 1st and nothing new just yet

 

I never have any smoke in any gear under any circumstances - that includes both my previous mail-in flash and current custom road tune.

 

I would suggest you get the car tested with a wideband o2 sensor and see if its a bit too rich with mail in flashes I have to set them a bit on the rich side anyway

If you get me a log with a wideband i can adjust it slightly

 

My car smoked a little at WOT pulling out of the dealership with 18 miles on the odometer.

I got a mail-in and it smoked a little less

Then I got a custom tune from a popular vender here and it even smoked more less

There is a procedure for excessive smoking that involves compression testing and oil sampling/monitoring.

Good luck

 

When I had the "cone" intake, it somehow messed with my MAF. (oil on the filter?) and ruined my MAF. You will have a run-rich mode if its going bad. have it checked at the dealer. mine was reading 35ft below sea-level (I live in Indiana). Got a new one, and problem solved. I went back to the stock box also. The need to plug it in, and check the MUD? sensor. That is the only time I saw black smoke comming out under WOT. Keep us posted.

 

The LM-1 wideband which I sell at a very low price (can't post) goes a long way to helping to diagnose these kind of conditions

 

dont believe in a easy breakin huh..

 

would be interested in a PM> Can I use it with a defi gauge?

 

I am also going to be looking into the possibility of a blown head gasket. Although I highly doubt this as the car hasnt been overheated or overboosed and it is not using oil or coolant.

 

Do a leak down compression test

 

I dont have the equipment here at home for that, so cant really get it done without taking it to a shop.

I got 170 solid on all four with a normal compression test.
So I am assuming that this is not the problem.

Next route would be that Wideband. PM Me a price and we will go from there. Thanks
