i have my car back now and its running, i now have an intake, full 3 in catlyst free exhaust, 4 850cc inj. power fc, fmic. profec b2, and full non-sequential stock(rebuilt turbos)



at idle i notice that its been putting out a little smoke now and then, but the real problem is when i get above 3500-4000 rpms (usually full throttle) it puts out some heavy black smoke, im talking diesiel locomotive amounts, or some superduty truck. could this just be a nasty tuning issue or is somthing bad ( seals, turbos???)

ANY help would be aprecciated. i wont be driving anytime soon due to an ice accident but i plan on fixing the prob before its driving. thanks.........

My Bad, I thought blue was fuel. In that case it sound's like it's running very rich.

Blue is oil, black is fuel, white is coolant. Sounds rich to me.

Is it possible you haven't adjusted the PFC for those 850cc injectors?
