I have a 03 Cobra and it smokes when 1st started. I thought something was wrong at frist but I have two friends that also has the same issue with thier 03 Cobra. It dont smoke any other time not even in high boost. Does anyone know why they do that?

 

this is absolutely normal. its just a hint of blowby oil from ur pcv valve. it should only do it right when u start ur car, AND right AFTER u do a full throttle pull... right when u let off of the gas pedal, after flooring, u should see a little bit of white smoke from ur exhaust...

 

lol no worries mine smokes too and its a 2v. Just watch your oil and make sure its not getting burned off too much. +1 to the load on motor causing it right after

 

Make sure you are watching your oil. Check and make sure your valve covers are torqued down.A friend of mine had this problem. When I would drive behind him, I would see puffs of white smoke coming from under his car. I ended up finding a leaking valve cover.

 

Typical issue with 03/04's.

In many cases, I was told by SVT you likely have valve guide wear and this is allowing for blow by upon start-up. They recommend to just keep an eye on your oil levels & it's nothing to worry about hurting the reliability or performance.

 

I would reccomend getting an air to oil seperator. Steeda sells them. They mount on your firewall and get hooked up through your pcv valve. Many superchargers have blowby problems and this should damn near eliminate the problem you have. When it gets full, just pour the oil back into the crankcase! They run like $80-$100 or so.

 

Or just regularly check your oil level and save yourself $100 bucks. [8D]
