To bring up an old thread again just to get rid of confusion... i realised i get black smoke explosion sorta when i start to full throttle and it doesn't constantly give out smoke as i accelerate on the same gear...Is this what you guys are calling normal safety richness?

lol my gtr does the same thing, it came with two blitz bovs venting like a fat kids lungs with a muffin on his plate. i get black smoke two, i find the bigger the kecktik dose, the more smoke. dw man, plumb it back and all should be good...

been meaning to plumb mine back, but ahh, what do i plumb it back too?? i hope its not the intake because the bov's are on the drivers side of the car on the cold pipe from the cooler...

not only will it throw the black cloud but you may not realise that often you will throwing small fireballs out the exhaust also between gearshifts..Looks cool and all but definately a defect sticker

It pretty much normal to blow a puff of black smoke, I have seen an R34 GTR hammer it and yes a puff of black smoke came out.

Its sorta normal for turbo charged cars. Cuz you full throttle it its like giving the car a sudden burst of fuel. U sorta burn off alittle fuel also you will burn off alittle bit of oil. Again normal.

Something along those lines LOL, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

You probley won't see it with ya stock exhaust on cuz its been restricted by all all the bends, baffles what-not. But with ya high flow exhaust, which I assume you got you will see the smoke/flames... Thats why its called GODZILLA!!!

oH~ well minez not GTR :D so its not Godzilla lol but skylines are skylines so i guess its normal :)

ah also i only have a cat back exhaust and it doesn't shoot fireballs out the exhaust but do make backfire sounds...im certain its the BOV anywayz

your only half right.

its normal for stock turbocharged cars with mild mods and stock ecu to blow black smoke. however a modded car with a decent tuned ecu shouldnt blow excessive black smoke.

If you have a cat or not also makes a difference and how often you give it a boot full..

When mine was inbetween cats if I were not to give it a boot full for some time when I would it would blow the carbon black dusty shiet out everywhere.

Quizzed my tuner at the time and he said I must be driving it too soft. :D

After the first full boot there would be no more black haze. I've also seen this on the dyno; I hadn't given the car a full boot for a good 300-400km's on the dyno it went and black crap on the first run. :)

Mines running mid 11's through peak torque and then richens up slightly to near flat 11's by peak power and behind the car its clean no black fuel smoke or what not. At night i can see a bit of a haze if im on it a little but thats to be expected; you can't 'really' see it when outside or driving behind the car.

your only half right.

Thanks Simon-R32 :D

Funny you say that watch a jap movie of GTR's over in japan they blow out so much smoke and they are massive hose power machines. And they can tune them beta then as so i guess it's quite normal.

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
