Exhaust Fumes

Ok gang, after our cruise last Friday it was brought to my attention that my car really does smell like a school bus! I've installed the O/R H new flow's and tips but haven't done any tunes to the car. A tuner is expensive! Anyway, is this the only way to fix the smell? It smells like oil to me but I don't have any smoke, of course there is a small amount when I really get on it but not enough to worry about. Could I have deeper issues than a tune, maybe. My car has 165k miles and with what it's been through prior to me purchasing it, it is a definite possibility. Leaky valve seals, old motor, worn out rings? Any suggestions that you guys have are always appreciated.

It is either what you said or your car is running Rich

Ok but how do I fix "running rich"?

A tune.

That's what I thought, man I was hoping I could unscrew or adjust something! Thanks guys.

Install a PI motor, that'll lean her out a bit. :0)

ya think!? I can't afford a tune for my non PI but I'll run right out and grab a PI motor and throw it in. Perfect! I knew that you would know the solution man!lol I am actually looking for another car with the PI motor stock, can we say 04 Cobra!!!! We'll see what's in the works after we buy our house. I'll keep ya posted on that one.

Richard,
If you want i can show you how to DIY a catch can on your pcv system to eliminate some of the "blow by" which causes your car to smoke. Cost is about 20 bux! my car has at least 165 grand on it (thats where the odo. quit working) and i used to smoke the mosquitos going down the interstate, after this... no smoke...

Yes sir. Can you come by Saturday? James is supposed to come over as well.

actually I have a wedding on saturday, I can show you on sunday...

Ever thought that your signature was too big and obnoxious?

NAH

better?

No but I have thought other parts of me are

Ok so back to the original topic!!! Would a bigger throttle body help problem?

No.

i like how tim gets a position in our club and now he thinks everything is bigger...tim buddy i'm sorry but it doesn't work that way. hahaha

mkay dont hit me or nuttin but i'm not familiar with PI motors. what is that? I'm a 5L pushrod kinda guy... just wanna get more familiar...

In 01, I think, Ford beefed up the heads and intakes on the motors giving them more HP. These parts are interchangable with Non PI motors. PI is for Performance Improved motor. Mike probably knows exactly what they did differently but that's the jist of it.

in 99 ford went to with "P"ower "I"mproved engines which had better flowing heads, cam profile and intake manifolds. 99+ GT engines also have different pistons. Which is why when you put 99+ heads on a NPI (94-98) modular engine you increase your static CR to around 10.6:1, year depending. (the pistons were still crappy HT.)

99-mid01 were Windsors and mid01-04 Were Romeos Neither is better than the other, just different.

Score 1, Mike.

LOL i love you guys!

cool thanks,
with a right tune do you think you could up the compression to say 12:1 w/o risk of detonation on a PI swap or are the pistons not the right setup?

here's a pretty cool site for numbers on the NPI and PI plus all other mod motors. http://www.moddedmustangs.com/forums/modular-mustangs/135743-modular-4-6-5-4-6-8l-engine-info.html
