Exhaust leak ?
My car is running very rich. I have the RB 3" turbo back exhaust. When I put the BOV on it it ran more rich. It seems to have some sort of gas or exhaust leak. I believe there are new gaskets, at least the gasket connecting the turbo to the downpipe. The smell is strongest in the cabin and under the car, but not under the hood. Im not sure what to do. Please help, any input or ideas. The smell is very strong and it burns my eyes. Thanks.

UHm...go to the inside of the car, and pull the hood latch. Go outside, raise the hood, and insert the prop rod. Now, see that big silver thingy on top of the motor? See what it says in big red letters?
"turbo rotary"...
That, my friend, is your problem.
Seriously, rotaries don't burn very clean, idle very well, or get very good gas mileage. IT"s just the nature of the beast. Like I enjoy telling so many people, it isn't a toyota camry, it is a rotary sportscar.
The fact that you have removed all your cats could have something to do with the sudden increase, though...

And what does that have to do with anything I just said?
DUMBASS!
BTW, who is the real dumbass here...me, or the dumbass who is standing behind the car crying??
**For those wondering, the above poster's original response was "i have a rebuilt engine, dumbass"...**

Go easy on her..she's my friend...LIke I told you earlier. Check for exaust leaks from manifold to the presilencer. I would do it but im busy.. Gaskets do go bad.. It worries me when you said that you smell fuel too or maybe you are just confuse between the 2. But when i rode in your car i did smell exaust fumes.. I have the same problem except 3 times worst..Good luck! JEFF

**Even though apparently no one but me saw it (it was edited out too quickly), I WAS INSULTED FIRST by being called a dumbass when all I did was try and help. I did nothing to "her" that wasn't done to me first. I refuse to take bullshit from ANYONE, bottom line.**
Does anyone have a problem with that?

Can you please explain to me what is wrong with telling someone that a turbo rotary, by nature, runs rich, and stinks out the exhaust, especially when all the catalytic converters are removed??? Am I missing something here?? Was the aim of this post not to ask a question, and did I not give potential answers to that question??
True, I did so in a roundabout way...I enjoy making my posts somewhat entertaining...so sue me. Jeezus...

Thats because this is the internet. If you can't take sarcasm, don't go outside, and definitely don't come on this forum. It wasn't a big deal, he gave her an answer in a joking manner. Who gives a ****.

Kevin, I am behind you 100% on this one man, your original post was not condecending, it was funny. Not to mention her calling you a dumbass was not needed. And to everyone that is mitsuko's friend, YOU'RE TOO ******* SENSITIVE!!!! Get over it, god...all he AND she did was call eachother a dumbass. Boo hoo....he called me a dumass. I apologize, I needed to rant about that.
you big bunch of pussies.
