noticed some black/grey smoke come from my exhaust today under heavy acceleration from first to second.

what could this problem be. anything i can check before sending it to the mechanic?

and if so, is it an easy enough job to fix myself or with a mate.

cheers.

I suggest you switch your car from camels to a mild brand, preferably with menthol

previous owner told me it is running rich, which i have noticed aswel. cheers for the help, just worrying as first turbo ive had

best serious advice i can give, is to take it to a qualified tuner to check your o2 sensors, the afm ratios reported by an external sensor, and then give the car a good tune up...

i know of many places north of the city that can help you

who do you reccomend dohmar?

road and track dyno services in 19 Thomas St, Cavan (8344 8930)

They have extensive experience with all types of motorsport, and I personally dont trust anyone except these guys...

while boostworx is around the corner, i'll still be going to these blokes, no disrespect to bw tho (ive never been a customer)

it's just running rich like chad said, you can take it to some one to check your AFR's (Not AFMR's)but there is nothing they can do about it anyway because you can't tune anything with the standard ECU, all they can do is play with your timing.

Just take it to anyplace that has a dyno and get them to run it up to check the AFR's get the print out and post it up here and we'll go from there.

Shop around because you shouldn't be paying more than $80 for a few quick runs, otherwise wait till someone is holding a dyno day and do it then.

I only use & recommend Boostworx

new years they are moving to cavan from pasadena

Awesome! Closer to me. :)

I'd been a customer of theirs since back in the day Craig ran Mad Dat from there ... when I sold my house down south and moved to the Regency area, it was just too far to travel to get there. Thats good news ... for me anyway :)

burning black is too rich, the grey is more water in tailpipe MOST of the time.

if you car is cold when you boot it the mixture will be really black, grey

your O2 sensor is prob dirty, and the intake plenum is prob caked with carbon as well.

spark plugs, otherwise it sounds normal for a turbo car.

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
