Title: Is this too much smoke?
Post by: zagarus on April 04, 2006, 05:36:19 pm

just wondering if this is still a healthy amount of smoke coming from my car.  This is after doing a fuel tweak, very little. Just wanna be sure i'm not putting out to much. oh ya, the power is great!!

When day turns to night,you just about have enough smoke.  :lol:

It's fine for a dialy driver.I'd still turn it up a bit more,then use your right foot for smoke control.

That car has sparkly clean exhaust compared to mine. I actually want to back it off a bit. My car idles at 900 rpm and cars disappear behind me in the daylight (behind the cloud of smoke).

I'm using a 10mm pump and GTD nozzles. That's why my car smokes as much as it does yet still idles.

my car smokes more than that and still gets through BC aircare with something like 15/30 score.  I do take it for testing after my 115 km drive home, so its good and hot.

ps: my smoke is more blowby than extra fuel. ~ 1 litre/500km  Smells like burning tires on a fire!  I wouldnt want to be stuck behind me in heavy traffic when the light goes green, specially if I was driving a white car.  Low mileage motor to go in soon tho....

so really the only way i can lower the smoke at teh moment, is to increase the boost a bit?  thats next on my list of things to do.

When your fuel is turned way up it can be a problem to keep the idle down. A larger pump head will allow you to keep your low idle and increase fuel output. If you want to clear up the smoke then you can either turn the fuel down or turn the boost up. I'd turn the boost up   :D

Oh, and for GTD nozzles click on my signature  :wink:

i turned my fuel down for now, still above stock, but now its not coming out like it used to, ill up it again when i get a boost controller and gauge, and start tweaking the boost.  Plus the intercooler, which will all be this summer.  Oh and new injectors and exhaust system. Anything else i might want? :D
