15 Pro Charged mustang problems!!!

[alex johnson]

Okay, I love the looks of a 15 and newer Mustangs so I finally got one a few months ago and have broken it constantly since.

It is a 15 gt manual 6speed with a procharged with long tube headers cat delete and borlas tuned by HPP out of Dallas and I have a duel valve catch can on it.
3 days after I got the car I boosted it up and destroyed the trans. That was my bad I deserved that one. I pulled the trans and bought all amp stage 3 upgrades and had it built and that is holding up so far but today I made a 40 to 140 pull and when I slowed down it started smoking BAD!!!! I have a huge intercooler and all my gauges showed okay.

My first thought was I cracked a piston but it sounds fine(no nocking or dragging) also I drove it home 10miles. the damage was done so why not lol. I checked the intake and its clean and I checked the catch can and it has a little oil in it but not much. Tomorrow I am going to pull the plugs and inspect them and look in the cylinders and I know that will tell me a lot but i was looking for some FORD COYOTE INPUT (I am new to this world). What are your thoughts? HEAD GASKETS? PISTON?

What color smoke

A compression or leak down test is your best bet

Not enough information…

did you install the procharger?
did you have it tuned?
did you buy the whole thing used?
if so, did you have it retuned?
what kind of fuel?
how much boost?
did it ever run right?
did you money shift?
have you drained the oil yet?

…in lieu of all that, Nate is right; leak down time

What wingnutt said... But also, where was the smoke coming from? Could be as simple as the valve cover being loose. Need more info

Start with a compression test and go from there. I drove my car home with a hole in piston #3 a year ago and minus the smoke it felt fine as long as you didn't get on it.

Usually, the sign of a blown headgasket. The pressure in the cylinders damages the head gasket (or lifts the head), then when you decel, it creates a ton of vacuum in the cylinders which sucks the coolant into the cylinders and out the exhaust. The smell is another indication.

Is your coolant low? Have you drained the engine oil to see if there is any coolant in the crankcase?

Might be residual oil or some other chemical, I had this happen on my car after having a trans installed. Got hot, smoked, never found anything. I think there was something that finally got hot enough. Hopefully nothing, just be methodical and check everything (plugs, oil, leak down, etc ).

Are you sure it wasn't the clutch getting smoked? Do you know what that smells like? Once you smell it once, you know... lol
