Got Smoke? RV275&EZ??

With this combo I get quite a bit of black smoke until the turbo catches up. Just wondering what everyone else with this combo is seeing. Truck runs great, fuel pressure, boost etc are all normal

Sounds about right. Smoke is just unburned fuel (not enough air). Once the turbo spools up, the engine has the air it needs to burn the fuel.

How is the clutch holding up to your setup?? I've been thinking of doing either the injectors or the EZ but didn't want to do both for fear of dumping another 900 into a SBC...

So far so good on the clutch, haven't had more than a couple snowmobiles on a deck for weight. The test will come when I put the camper on and hook up to the boat.

Smoke screen? *G* It just enough to let them know you have more then stock power. Not enough to put up a full screen.

Power is good with these two mods and my 5-sp had held it for 30k+ miles.

That setup is what I plan on doing here in the next few weeks, when the $ comes around. I am also somewhat concerned about my clutch holding up. I won't be towing anything, but I would hate to

"dump another 900 into a SBC... ". Good thinking friend.
