hey all, i replaced my coilpacks with some splitfires along with a s2 afm (i have a s1) and wired it up correctly, and now i have a strong fuel smell in the cabin after giving the car a small squirt, nothing major, maybe just to 5k rpm or so, and the cabin smells alot like fuel after words, and also smells slightly of fuel when driving normal (not sure if its just the aftermath of giving the car a squirt) would it be in the combustion process thats causing this stench? my plugs are gapped to .8mm, would the gap be to small for splitfires? im thinking that all the fuel isnt igniting properly?

any help is apreaciated

thanks

edit: forgot to ad, the car runs smoothly and dosent "feel" rich

unless thecar is running like crap, its not the combustion process....

Try leaky fuel lines in engine bay, or maybe a leaky fuel pump seal in the boot. Can't be much more assuming you checked the charcol cannister properly.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
