so i was driving today and and out of no where there was smoke coming from the hood so i popped it and checked, and saw that the smoke was coming out of my catch can filter! is that bad? cause i never seen that before!~

 

Are you FI? What are you running?

 

yes im running a Garrett 35r with custom manifold!

 

any help?

 

sounds like ur having the EXACT same problem i just had..I was on the dyno and all of a sudden when we turned the car back on the catch can was gushing smoke. Either piston rings or head gasket. I have a gt28rs and i was getting tons of oil vapor through the crank case vent tube, and then when i took the catch can off it smelled like gas/oil..Have u checked ur compression yet?

 

How is your vented catch can plumbed?

 

had something similar last weekend, on the dyno it started to breath heavy

opened it up a couple of days ago and found this oooops







bore wash. hopefully not as serious for you

 

Under load thats ok, if just ideling and you are seeing smoke, usually an indication of ringlands/rings gone bad.

Do a compression test and report back.

 

ditto

 

Yep my buddy's got the same thing going on with his 91 talon. And his exhaust is blowing smoke. But his compression was real good. We started guessing that the valve seals are shot!
