As the title reads, I installed my Cobb Access Port a few days ago, and I flashed her to 93 octane stage 1 base map. I was showing a couple of my friends how much harder the car pulls by doing some 1st through 3rd gear pulls. I didn't notice anything weird at all but when i popped my hood when i was done... I noticed some oil on my engine cover. is this something I should worry about?






PS. Some crappy cell phone pics of my car that i like ;]

 

Flames out the exhaust generally mean it is running pretty rich. What are your AFR's? As for the oil, did you check for loose breather hoses, etc? When you run higher boost levels you start blowing oil out of everywhere valve cover breather, etc...

 

i got a cobb ap so my AFR should be good, ill do some logs later

 

ok guys there is literally no oil anywhere else, i even wiped that old oil off the engine cover and did some more pulls checked under the hood and nada, zip, zilch. should i be worried?!??!?

 

maybe spillage or something? although it does look like dirty oil....

 

Just because you have an access port doesn't mean it will be spot on. That is a designed map for a few listed mods, but every engine is different. This is where standard tuning is lacked, every motor is different, different climates, etc... A tune should be personalized, but the AP is a nice piece. If you have flames like that in the exhaust though, usually it means you are running rich.

 

hmm i did get a service recently but im pretty sure iv looked under my hood since then. maybe i just didn't notice? im hoping its spilage, everything seems fine

 

flames were being spit out with the stock tune, i dont think i can shoot flames anymore

 

Make sure your dipstick is down snugly. I'm guessing just a few drops from your last service though.

 

yepp thats deff what it is because the oil did not look fresh, it had some dirt and grime in it and it left a stain on the cover so its deff from my last service. THAT WAS A CLOSE CALL!!!

 

+1 doesn 't look fresh at all. Flames....just no haha.

 

whats wrong with my flames ??

 

Is that from your NAWWWWS?

 

lol no its from the crappy rich stock tune and no cat

 

that last picture is awsome!!!!!
