So this past weekend I did the mock run.. it fired up on the 1st attempt but alas there was a issue.. it was running for a min or so, and then it started to smoke oil :shock: I had only a test manifold with about a 4" pipe joined to my exhaust tube to run out the door, It seems that the I forgot about a pvc from the crank case vent and had a tube run from it directly into the charger intake pipe, it sucked a huge amount of oil into the charger, causing it to fill the cylinders I pulled the motor, and spun the charger by hand and it went gurgle gurgle stripped it all down and cleaned it all up, now time to put it all back together.. has anybody else seen or heard of that happening?
Z6's with superchargers have a great power band, they don't make a lot of power but the power it does make is really linear and pulls nicely. Plus the sound, its amazing! Looks good!
