hey guys im new to this i have a 200sx with a ca18det in it iv just rebuilt it but it doesnt want to idal properly but when it does it varys from 1000rpm to 1500 down to 500 sometimes and it takes abit to start sometimes but other times it will start sweet. i havent touched the timing and before i rebuilt the engine it would idal normal until it ran a bearing. heres what has been done to the engine
new pistons
acl bearings
drilled skimmed and rebalanced crank
3 layer steel headgasket
t28 turbo
sr20det afm
3inch exhaust
grounded cams
aparently it has a xtune ecu tuned for 219kw on 12psi
when i hold idal at 1000rpm it has a lumpy idal is it because of cams being grounded
im running in the engine on 5w30 when the cars warmed up it will start blowing blue smoke but then other times it wont could that be from running thin oil and its sliping through the rings or mayb the cams would apreciate your guys help thanks.. also when it hits boost it kind of feals like its leaning out but plugs are saying its running rich but if u ease on the boost it goes good could this also be oil.
