so we've noticed that when you get the tuning pretty good, it makes a distinct "burning pineapple" smell...



having lived in CA forever, and smogged every rx7 ive ever had, i can tell you if it will pass by standing behind it, i dont know if i trust my nose to make max power though https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.gif

You better get your schnozz insured by Lloyds of London. That proboscis of yours could be your ticket to wealth and fame!

This is not good. I think this thread is intended to be serious.



I think if you could add a couple more smells to the "olfactory tuning continuum", let's say a "burnt toast" kind of smell for the "too lean" condition, and an "eye-watering gas smell" for the "too rich" condition, then we might truly have some useful information.



I'm more interested in tuning at WOT than idle. How fast can you run? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

i was behind a chevelle yesterday, and he was on it, and it smelled like burning styrofoam, i'm thinking it was too rich?

also you can smell a burning cat smell, its sharp, whereas a normal cat smell, is/feels like the air coming out of a dryer

i smelled an apex seal that came out the exhaust pipe once. It smelled like garlic bread.



I think it was running lean.
