So, I have an issue I have been working through that is really annoying. Only when I start the car or on blip of the throttle from idle it will put some smoke out the pipes. Once the car is running it is right on the money as far as the MTF and fuel trims are concerned. The car runs very well and have no issues other than this rich start and blips.
It started after I was redoing the MTF after installing 60lb SD's. I have tried reloading the value file for FRPP 60's and SD 60's but the car seems to like the FRPP values better. No difference in the smoke. Took a lot of fuel out on the MTF, no change. Car idles perfectly at 14.6-14.8 with trims near 1.0.
I still have a set of FRPP LU47's I could swap back in and see if there is a large difference.
I am starting to think it might be burning oil but it is so consistent and doesn't smell like burnt oil. The car runs great and will idle for days and not smoke but only on startup and short hard blips I can smell something and see some smoke. While in full boost it doesn't smoke but I have had people tell me that they can smell a bit of burnt oil. Which with a turbo car is not completely uncommon, at least that is my thinking. The heads are ford racing CNC heads and only have maybe 6,000 miles on them I can't imagine the valve seals are bad???
