make sure you use a diesel compression gauge, otherwise you will break a gas one. ---

Yeah, motor comp test came out fine, everything within specs. Guess I’ll change injectors and software, see what happens. Alot in tooning has changed since I had this software written years back. In celebration of not having a shitty motor, I treated myself to a 034motorsports RS2 High Output exhaust manifold for my UrS4 to go along with the 30r and other bullshit. ---

You’re just a pussy that is too worried about “what’s that going to do for relibility???”. Who gives a shit? If something breaks, I’ll fix it. ---

> [@93dx--hatch](#): > > LOL, so are you going to sell this pos before it blows up? Haha, nope, these things are worth like $2,500 with 100k on them now aren’t they? But on a serious note, me and Double J did some data logging, when ever it starts blowing blue smoke, the injection timing is jumping around, give it more go pedal, or let off, it smooths out, no more smoke. The mass air flow is bad too, so i’ll change that and see what happens. If that doesn’t help, It’s one of two things: injection pump is failboating, or nozzles are shit. ---

^Is it possible that the car is burning oil? Or is that ruled out? [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/diesel-guys-blue-smoke-under-light-load/65125.md?page=1)
