still no smoke?

***madmikeismad*** · 10-29-2009, 11:18 PM

I removed the plate the other day, and just !once! I floored it all out from a 20mph roll at an idle. No smoke, except for the small puff I get because I have no afc.

Any ideas? I'm getting a fuel pressure/pyro/boost setup soon from Lowry's, so I'll know then if I have low pressure, but assuming I don't have low fuel, what else could it be?

oh, also, when I put the afc back on, I stripped the bolt hole closest to the drivers seat. For now I have a shorter sheet metal screw in there, it's not leaking oil, and it seems to be sealed tight. Is that ok for now?

no smoke is a good thing! Smoke does not give you power.

***madmikeismad*** · 11-01-2009, 11:25 AM

no it doesn't, but it's nice to see. I blame the kid in me

And if it's supposed to be smoking, and isn't, it could mean I have a fuel problem.

maybe you just haven't put enuff of a load on it. I got an fl 50 frieghtliner that only smokes when it lugs or if I gross about 40 k and then it only does it till the turbo spools up. start out in a higher gear!

***madmikeismad*** · 11-01-2009, 12:01 PM

***madmikeismad*** · 11-04-2009, 07:24 PM

Update: It smokes when ever I give it throttle with the TC locked up

A lot

So I should be ok using a sheet metal screw in place of the afc screw? It's been a week or so now, and still no oil leaking.

Thread repair that will keep original size. Drill it out tap it and install a helicoil.

stock. Actually, I found a 4inch aluminized mbrp setup turbo back on autoanything.com that I was looking at for like 200. Does that sound like a good deal?

Either way, I'm going to 4 inch this week. And ordering the tranny parts as soon as I get a set price from goerend and suncoast.
