Smoking on left turns

[bob l]

Hi,

I have a 2001 Boxster 2.7L, which I drive on the street and DE. After 2 yrs. of DE the car laid out a large cloud or smoke after a fast- high G left hand turn at Homestead's turn 8. I was black-flagged. Upon start-up there was another huge cloud of smoke.

Since then I have replaced the oil coooler, since there was oil in the coolant, and installed a new AOS. I have had a restricter installed on the AOS intake too. The problem persists. I have not been back to a DE since I am still getting smoke on fast left turns, on the street, on z rated street tires.

Could this be a broken ol pan baffle? Has anyone had this problem, and fixed it?

Thanks Bob l

You need a Porsche Motorsports AOS - the stock one won't handle it. Turn 8 at Homestead, turn 3 at Sebring, turn 5 at Barber - all left handers where you are carrying some G's and then you stand on the throttle on exit - they all will generate the smoke. You might even get a few misfires on cylinder 5 and 6 because you get too much liquid oil out of the AOS sucked in.

My 986S, a buddy of mine from Atlanta with same, and a fellow from Italy on this board with 986S - we all had the same issues. Motorsports AOS will fix it.

I will see if I can find a piture of the PM AOS. A few weeks ago, someone on this board had one for sale.

Sorry - can't find a picture. But imagine the stock AOS with a second one fused to it - it has two cylinders, as opposed to one. There is a DIY instruction in the 986 modification section.

When you put in the new one, did you clean out all the oil from the air distributors? if not, that would explain the persistence of oil smoke.

Thanks Eric

Would this account for smoking on the street? This never happened until that turn #8 incident. I'm afraid I don't know what the air distributors are. Perhaps you could show me, in live in Delray.

happy to help

PM on the way

and the smoking on the street is probably residual oil
