Help... smoking pig

[Soybean55]

Hey guys,
I have a 2008 gt500 parked it a few months ago. Installed jlt 123 intake frppsingle blade tb, frpp 2.3 TVs 2.6 pulley, lethal catless hpipe and 56lb injectors , vmp triple pass heat exchanger w/o fans. So today I finished loaded up my vmp tune and I got smoking coming from engine bay upon start up and idle I haven't driven it . It appears to be from both sides. No cel is on, I noticed it looks like my altenator pulley wasn't spinning but couldn't tell where smoke was coming from. Could that be the cause I'm kinda lost here and don't know where to begin with troubleshooting. No issues with altenator prior to mods.

Well I’d make sure your exhaust isn’t touching anything.

You should be able to tell what type of smoke you have; oil, coolant, belt, etc.

Just go from there.

Tell her you’ll leave her ass if she doesn’t stop......

Thanks I will double check exhaust this weekend and take a video. Lol I would leave her but I can't afford it.

If the alt isn’t spinning, I’m sure it would cause some belt smoke no?

Chances are you have something burning off the mid-pipe. I've never seen an alternator completely freeze up, but I wouldn't imagine the belt would be long for this world.

Open the hood, start the car and watch for the smoke. Seems pretty simple to me.

Ok I'm an idiot went back over it forgot egr bolts and was definitely the mid pipe burning off oils I suppose just coming out of hood. Bolted the egr back on temp is perfect no cel and smoke is gone. What a difference nto5rs and tvs makes wow!

I've done stuff like that over the years too many times to count. It's easy to lose track of something on a big project. Glad you got it worked out.
