Hey all.
I fit my boost compensator, played with the timing a bit and been trying to tune fuel my 5lt injector pump and have run into some interesting problems.
When the engine is cool/cold it seems to run pretty well. But when Ive made it about a mile or two and the engine is closer to temp it coughs up some white smoke and loses power. Seems to get worse for the next half mile, and then stays about the same. Its worst in 1st, bad in 2nd and seems to get better in higher gears.
My first guess was running too retarded. And it seemed to help to advance it. But now ive advanced it incrementally back to where it was before I added the turbo (and retarded the timing) and Id like to hear everyones thoughts before I advance the timing too far.
Would retarded timing cause this effect? Could it be something else like air in my injector lines, or a misadjusted wastegate, or over/under fueling?
Thanks
