Went to a local slide event yesterday with my new coupe running blacktop SR, stock SMIC, DP, Walbro, and Exhaust. 10psi through a manual boost controller. All day I had zero problems and I guess that one my last run someone came up and told me there was a pretty good amount of smoke at the end, I also remember noticing a loss of power on that run.
When popping the hood, I noticed that there was oil that had shot out of the BOV into my engine compartment. I removed the factory catch can thingy when swapping. Anyway, on the way home shortly after that the car was smoking pretty heavily. Whats weird is that it was black and white. And I could hear detonation. The white lasted for awhile but then slowly started to go away and now only puff's it. I am assuming that the black is because the ecu is detecting knock and dumping in fuel right? Could the oil have gone through the IC, and its causing it to heat soak easily, therefore causing detonation? I am using a Silvia non-turbo bumper so there is no hole for the IC. But the car was fine the night before and the 150 mile trip to the event. I have run no catchcan before and never had the oil out of the BOV problem, do you think maybe a seal went bad in the turbo? Any help is appreciated.
Also there was oil dripping from around the recirc valve is plugged to.
