blitz intercooler
just installed a blitz lm iC on my s13 with the hks ssqv hot pipe ...white smoke plus car starts and stops sounds like runnin on 3 valves do i need a boost controller since 2 much cold air going in messin up air/fuel ratio or need some tuning(s13sr blk t)
I think you should check for boost/vacuum leaks before messing with your fuel curves. The ssqv bov is the best as far as a bov that does not leak, but you may have bad connection of your IC piping or possibly some bad welds for the BOV flange. Another place to check is that you got the 0-ring and c-clamp installed correctly for the BOV. How does the car idle? is the smoke continuous, or between shifts?
thnx for replying ...i got the hot hks hot pipe with ssqv on it ,flange looks fine..idle goes up and down and in gear stops with ver rough idle..white smoke continuous.i think i am dumping 2 much fuel cuz i nite the other i day i say some beautiful flame show.
Just for reference, white smokes are usually 'burning' water, silver-blue smoke is burning oil, and black/sooty smoke is caused by a rich condition...did anything else get jostled while you were installing the FMIC?
I would check your compression and go from there. If you are burning a white smoke its either coolant or oil (Depending on ur defenition of white). If your compression is bad it is most likely your headgasket or piston rings.

thnx for response guys..tried 2day 2 check all the vacum lines..everything in place cranked it..started..black smoke..geez and engine breathin hard oh well ..gave it cpl hrs... wont start no more crank crank crank..fuel lines are good..sparks are good..getting frustrated.
If all you have done is install a IC and BOV and now your car runs like a$$ or even doesn't run. Then your problem is either the BOV or the IC. Check you connectors at your IC and make sure that they are not leaking. A "vacuum leak" can be anywhere in the air intake system(IC piping, vac lines, Intake mani), it is not only the vacuum lines. You probably have one on your IC piping.
or just put your other stuff on to make sure its the ic or bov. that will tell you real quick if its your new stuff. or you might find that something was just ready to go. its funny how those things go. but good luck.
