You stated in your original post how the car was running great for a period of 10 months until you added the remainder of the e85 treatment. I still cant comprehend why anyone would add that additive to a car thats not tuned on e85 even if it doesn't have a warning label stating not to use on unleaded cars. Why didnt you just buy the nulon unleaded fuel treatment? It's almost like running diesel fuel in an unleaded car (probably a bit of an extreme example but you get the idea).

Yes, I think, despite apparent clear link to the fuel treatment, the electrical death of injectors cannot be attributed to the liquid flowing inside them.  The common cause of killing multiple sets of injectors on the same car has to be on the electrical side.

Mine is an S2 so no dropping resistor on the back of the coil cover .

I would think that electrical issues are a definite possibility here . Can you check that resistor or find some mod to remove it from the equation ?

Just a thought cheers A .

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
