Alan and I were talking about going. time to get a new clutch in my car asap!!

WHAT!

 

You must have slipped and bumped your head boy! say it aint so. Hopefully you can work things out and not jump the gun quite soon.

 

what happened?

 

What? There's a midnight mayhem on the 27th? I thought the last one of the season was last month? Man! Im not even ready for this one! But I'll try to make it there!

 

I'll be there on the 27th.

 

I'll be there, if i can get a boost leak test done asap when i finally get the chance and my tune is finished before then i might even run, well see..

 

^^ Did you ever fix that one leak? Where is your boost set at?

 

I never got to it. I ended up going to Cali and got back sunday, and now busy with work and stuff. My boost is at 11 psi. We were getting ready for WOT tuning but like a freaken idiot, i decided to get a boost leak test now than doing it in the first place

I was just under the assumption that my car was running perfectly fine based off the gauges and the fact i havent WOT my car for MONTHS now, now that i think of it, since i have owned the car for a year now, i can actually count how many times with my fingers so to say how much i have WOT the car actually... but like i said, being an idiot I should have done it first especially what my car went through to be completely honest for a better peace of mind.

still not exactly sure on what the white smoke that came out of my exhaust from when i explained it to Fredo how doug boost leak tested me i think was burning oil..

 

If your car was smoking after a boost leak he forgot to remove your oil fill cap and could have pushed oil past a seal into the intake or past the rings. I told you we could do a boost leak test at my house. Give me a text or call and we can test it and fix the leaks.

 

Family business.. I'm acting a bit impulsively at the moment, as it's the only thing I have to go that's already paid off... but yea, trying to be a last resort.

 

I'm not sure I follow, can you explain ?

 

just an assumption but margie was saying that the boost leak test that was done at dougs was done through the intake pipe. Most leak test are done straight through the turbo, and not through an intake pipe that has a recirc. fitting leading to the bov and also a valvecover vent hose. So really the valvecover and motor were being fed positive pressure pushing oil into places it probably shouldnt be going to. reggie also mentioned that after the test they started the car and out of the tail pipe came out white smoke for what felt like 5 min. Just sound too much like burning oil to me.

 

That is a lot of smoke, but why would 15-20psi (assuming) push oil into places it shouldn't go? Shouldn't it have vented through the pvc and then into the IM?

 

yeah, thats what i was thinking too. lol, i thought he was talking about them using sea foam on the car after the way he was explaining it . But most people run more than 20 psi, so you test for higher pressures. Margie never was sure to what psi they tested for. Either way id probably wouldnt like to pump 20+ psi into the motor from the back side of a piston.

 

oh, I didn't know how bad it smoked, But it didn't smoke when it was driven there and only smoked for a little while after the test then he had to push oil somewhere. I know you can blow a rear seal out of a car with around 20psi but that wouldn't cause it to smoke just leak oil. I also can't see him only doing 20psi for a boost leak test because stock boost on a evo x has to be around 20+ so I would think he'd go up to 25 maybe even 30psi. Either way it was done incorrectly and the oil fill cap should have been removed to keep from building any pressure in the motor, Maybe he just had a brain fart or had other things on his mind and didn't remove the cap.
