The car was fine. For some reason when we are in boost and then do a hard decel, the turbo system created some blow-by and the burnt oil would smoke out of the exhaust. The problem had stopped by Sunday. This was the first run on that motor so there are a few small (thank god) bugs. The only real mechanical problem we had all weekend was some heat issues and a pinhole leak in one of the fittings in the coolant system. Our main issue was that our cams from the old motor (non-Revup) didn't transfer to the new motor (Revup) and we couldn't get new ones made in time so we were on stock cams which created a ton of lag with the turbos. We couldn't feel boost until 5k rpm and then it came in hard and our redline was at 7750 rpm. It was pretty much impossible to keep it in that small window for a lot of the infield turns so we were losing A LOT of time waiting for the turbos to kick in. Like Kognition said, we went there 2 months ago with the car and ran a 1:46 on Toyo R888s before that motor went. The best we did this weekend was a 1:51 in practice and a 1:52.0 in the time attack so it was a very frustrating weekend for us.
