Question

Helo all

The car is a Supercharged Eunos.
1. The oil pressure seems to be high ( Is this normal for a car with a supercharger?)
2. After a hard run. the car seems to blow out white smokey exhaust fumes. ( not healthy!). Seems to be OK when cold and drives fine at moderate speed. You realy do have to rev the nuts off it to get the most out of the supercharger. So it is driven hard.

I am taking it to my Scooby mechanic and also to a performance MX5 specialist but in the mean time has anyone got any ideas as to what fault these symptoms could be pointing to.

oil 10/40 fuel Optimax.

Thanks for any replys
Steve.

Sounds like head gasket..

Any oil in water or water in the oil?

Probably running a little too much boost causing the heads to move enough to allow water into the combustion chamber. Check the torque of the heads.
