Oh, like i said, craig is back spotting Initial D hair salon every day, and working on Jags, Triumphs and Magnas.

But he is right.

hey, i just recently changed my spark plugs to iridium ones and ignition leads (custom 20V ones)

its been running good for about 1 week now, but its starting to sound like a boxer? and it will stall if i idle (400 - 500 rev range)

my friends say im running on 3 cylinders and other friends say that its the spark plugs? coz i changed back to the ignition leads i had in before and it still does this.

any help please?

Put a timing light onto it and see if its missing on any cylinders, could be a fouled plug, might need a higher temp rated plug.

few tips from a fellow bt20v owner

plugsa usually last me 10 000kms, FWIW i just chuck in normal ones. Iridium will get the same life.

I use mobil 1 5w-50, but i do alot of hard driving every week (think 200kms uphills hitting 8500rpm) and usually get 2500-3000kms out of my oil.

there really is nothing wrong with the motor as standard except for its lack of torque down low. Provided with your upgrades itll only get worse unless you run a stupidly high diff ratio

Iridium's are gay they fowl up real easy use normal plugs i had the same problem also

[/b][/quote]

nikko, either way its burning oil and oil = blue/white smoke

stem seals will let oil into the combustion when its idling for a while OR been sitting not ran, then on start up it will blow smoke...

it does sound like the oil is getting past the rings

that brings me to my next thing.

You say you have the $$$ to build this motor..


to get 10k rpm you really have to be doing some special things, i am no expert BUT at those revs you have to worry about oil startvation..and will need a dry sump. A crank that is balanced and is one grind short of being a michael angelo masterpeice lookwise also....

fancy japanese parts wont mean anything is unbreakable...and the people who run engines to that sort of speed usually have sponsors and an hour metre on the donk...

seems to me you just want to reach the end of your tacho....well maybe slot it into 2nd when your in 5th on the fwy!

as for the ecu, find who the tuners are in your city, see what they WILL tune, see what they have used before, with diferent applications (they know more than people on a forum)

not saying dont try it...just expect it to be alot harder than pistons, cams and a timing belt.

Guys... its oil burning during combustion. Needs a general service and rings change, and that should get rid of most of the smoke.



Mate if the car sounds like a Boxer engine, you are running on 3 cylinders. Duck under the hood and make sure that all the plugs are connected properly, both on the engine and the ignitors. That will solve it :2thumbs:

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (jcae86 @ Nov 8 2007, 02:40 PM) </div>what are the specs of the cams?
why did you get toda gear exactly?
You know seeing you have bought the pistons have considered some spool rods?

make sure you find a decent engine builder when you put it together.

oh and also you will want to look at blueprinting the engine, porting it, obviously a balance, angled intake manifold spacer, top notch extractors, list goes on
