Do all rx7s with no rx7 oil metering pump (running 1oz be gallon and not cat)smoke?
(only on idle)

using motul 10-40 synthetic

you made it sound like you were able to send signals to Greece at idle.
if the engine is performing great otherwise (and you haven't mentioned anything of that nature), then maybe try running a little less premix in your next fill-up and see if it stops.

what do you mean?That I don not have a lot off smoke?
I have smoke that if u are in in a close space with the car on u will have cancer in 3 minuets
on traffic lights every one is pointing at me coz out of my buck there is a barbeque...
that's why im asking
in the video u can not see a lot off smoke because there is a lot of wind
I do not have the oem injectors
I do not have any engine problems Im not missing oil or water and my temps are amazing compretion of the engine is 110psi afr is good!!

well, I don't see any reason you would lie about what you just described, but you do realize that the smoke didn't start until about 42 seconds and it wasn't much thereafter. I can appreciate wind and all that, but it is the video YOU posted as evidence and it's all myself (or anyone else) has to use as a visual gauge of your issue.
I was not suggesting you RUN less that the generally recommended 1 oz. per gallon, I said see if it stops. how else are you going to confirm that it IS the premix that's causing it and NOT something else?

1oz/gallon premix isn't enough to smoke. If you only have like 180 miles on the engine there's probably still a lot of assembly lube and junk that needs to get worked out, it sounds fine.
If it's still smoking that much after being warmed up at 1000miles then it's probably a different story.

Drain the tank and run the car on straight fuel with no premix.it wont hurt anything at low revs or idle.
Im from a country where we dont use imperial nightmare systems
so we work in ratios of fuel compared to oil.It seems common on here for people to use 1 gallon and add 1 oz of oil.Im not sure what that works out to on a metric ratio.
Ratios id recommend are 100:1 for track or strip work and would go 200:1 for street use.
As the motor is fresh you really need to get some ks(miles) on it before you can diagnose further.
If a car is smoking excessively id check in order of motor,turbo then premix.currently your motor is fresh and cant be ruled out until its had some running time.
As stated it doesnt look bad in the vid but if you think its too bad to drive just let it idle in the garage for a good 30 mins.

its not perfect. 1oz per gallon is the General consensus of HEY my engine didnt blow. and good lubrication .
I would NOT go any less then that .
if the engine is new as you say . I would talk to the builder / company who sold you it . and let them know what is going on just incase it is a badly seated seal . or a mistake on the build They know it happened before warranty runs out .
also are you losing fluids??
since you have no OMP how is your oil ?
and what about water?

Sparks are new

Water temp 80-85

Drain the tank and use no oil in the fuel for low rpm testing.Also check the sump vacumn system.There should be a vacumn source hooked up to your catch can.
