another smoke question (sorry)
When I accelerate hard I get some smoke, alot like the car on the video in this thread:
https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...hreadid=247574
Is this an indication that I am running rich (and therefore that I'm pretty safe from detonation)? Is there any harm in running like this, or should I put an ecu on my Christmas list?
Thanks

If you drive your car often, and it happens every time you floor it, I would say that something is not quite right. I wouldn't say it would be a serious problem, but a problem none the less.

Hmm, well I don't actually know if it does it everytime since it requires someone else to point it out to me. I don't drive the car very often - 2 or 3 times a month - so I expect it's carbon build up. I'll make a point of checking it next time I drive it.
I won't assume it's because I'm running rich (so I'll keep the boost below stock, which is how I have it set now)
Thanks guys .
