Valve seats sorry. Basically incomplete combustion busting out.


Personally I'd fix it. This kinda thing usually means overhaul. Piston rings and valve seats
I thought valve seats usually smokes when idling. One of my previous car had that, but normal driving no smoke, only at idling.....

During high vacuum situations like idle, cold start and engine braking, engine oil gets suck from the cylinder head into the combustion chamber.

Btw guys.. is it worth if i were to change my injector to higher cc on stock engine?
what do you think will happen... keep things simple. imagine just dumping more fuel in there, whats the expected result... remember just dumping fuel and nothing else into the combustion chamber

larger injectors won't shoot more fuel in la. It's just underutilizing the injectors. Not a great thing either

ehh it will let more fuel in kan...
Let me clarify. The stock injector duty cycle is usually 80%. So say you're using 150cc stock injectors, then you're shooting about 80% in super simple terms.

If you plonk in 500cc injectors it'll be running the default duty cycle of 80% unless you tune it otherwise. So you're shooting 80% of the 500cc inejectors. But that's also assuming your fuel pump can cope with the extra load. If fuel pump is insufficient and injectors not running at it's preset duty cycle, I think something is going to fail pretty quickly.

So thats mean Ecu come first then larger injector plonk later on?

Always saw the word stand alone but still dont know what does tat means. Newbie here
Modern cars have ECUs to control the injectors and all that stuff. People add on piggyback ECUs to "cheat" the stock ECU to add more fuel or increase or decrease engine timing or all those sort of things. Piggy backs are limited in what they can do and some cars don't even like piggybacks and will overwrite anything they do like the Siemens VDO ECU on the 4G1x protons. Piggy backs you'd be looking at Emanage, Unichip mostly. There are others as well but personally I don't think Piggybacks are worth the money or time.

Standalone ECUs completely replace the cars stock ECU to manage everything and as a tuner it means you can tune the car however you want it to run. More lean or richer at certain water temps, cut off aircon whenever you hit a certain RPM (to preserve your aircon compressor), and sooooo many more things. Links ECU, Haltech ECU, ECU Masters, MAXXEcu are all standalones (there are way more btw).

^ this, but just saying... standalone is overkill in your senario Latebloomer, the cost of the standalone will exceed the value of your car, or come close to it (pending on what u end up with)

Tarak hardcore lah, masuk engine only. Hahaha...
After all the previous mod, extractor lah, plug, plug cable, air filter, polish port, etc. etc., nothing feels the same for transplanted turbo engine. Still get the oomph, even after 20 years owning it.......lol

terbuuuuuuuuu

as we all know, raw dollar per h/p, near impossible to beat forced induction... we shall wait for the electrics to come.
