[QUOTE="nossliw, post: 660185, member: 10001"] Here is a link of my truck.... [url]http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&key=d6a769dd7a35593518c5c56785914b9d&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ford-trucks.com%2Fforums%2F1203076-niks-97-350-build-thread-12.html&v=1&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ford-trucks.com%2Fforums%2F1203076-niks-97-350-build-thread-11.html&libid=1366906387349&out=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DjGY7gZPF7iE%26feature%3Dyoutu.be&title=Nik's%2097%20350%20build%20thread%20-%20Page%2012%20-%20Ford%20Truck%20Enthusiasts%20Forums&txt=Still%20needs%20Work%20-%20YouTube&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13669064485903[/url] This is all brand new injectors, brand new VC, brand new uvhc, stancor relay, brand new BERU GP, rbuilt turbo. There are a few other mods done to the truck, but I experience the exact same issue you have. Yes it smokes like a damn freight train, is embarrassing as all hell in a parking lot after sitting 18+ hours. Luckily I leave at 430 in the morning, because it will white out the entire alley in our complex...and I mean eys burning, coughing cant see **** white out. I trouble shot the crap out of it, and can't explain it. Timing is where I stopped. Even using a DP tuner I could not correct it. Smokes just as bad in any setting or chip removed. I really think once you start modding these motors they are just not as happy as they could be stock. I have 3 EGT probes on either manifold and post turbo, Idling I have never seen over 200 on the truck in the cold...maybe 300 after 15 mins of high idle...still blowing nice white and blue. I need to buy a fogger that adds some red into the smoke for a red/white/blue effect :-) I have 370psi on all 8 with 130k on the motor. I have noticed removing the EBPV on the OBS trucks amplifies the smoke on startup (as it should)...I have done this to all our fleet trucks.... they all smokes twice as much as before once removed. Add a straight through exhaust and open intake...its even worse, intercooler is the cherry on top to the great whiteness... This video was stock injectors...the piston pump you can hear out the exhaust with larger injectors now is quite unreal when its cold now. I have started the truck up to about -30 off glow plugs... and it smokes just as bad at -25 or 25...fires right up, and a couple miles down the road we are running clear...once those temps come up. I can do anything else about it that I know of. At least it starts every time, even when heater power is unavailable. Nothing like being 30 miles out in bum fawk no where hunting and get back to the truck and she doesn't start...nada, even off jumping and cycling plugs...thats when I replaced everything...I will never do that again ;-) Hope this helps....
