RATT Member 230 Member For: 22y 6m 1d Location: Sydney Posted 04/04/05 01:17 PM Share Posted 04/04/05 01:17 PM Just a quick one to hopefully ease my worry.When I give my T wide open throttle in first gear there seams to be smoke coming from the rear (no it's not the tyres). I mainly notice this at night when another car is behind with headlights on, but have seen it in daylight. It's a browny sort of colour.I've seen a couple of Skylines recently do the same thing but have no idea what it is as there is no smell.It doesn't seem to be dust etc as it has happened on different roads.

The T is tuned from the factory to be a bit on the rich side so your going to see this unburnt fuel coming out when your on the loud pedal. This sort of soot can be very aparent in big hp cars that run without a cat.

I couldn't believe it when mine was run up on the dyno - stock an I saw it peaking at 10.5 AFR. No wonder I was doing 400km per tank Much better now after the tune. Sits dead flat on 12.5-12.6 AFR on WOT. Fuel economy has improved 10 fold.~allen Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/16763-exhaust-smoke-while-accelerating/#findComment-239235 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RATT - Definatley nothing to worry about, I saw an R33 GTR at willowbank one night blow that much black smake out the back it looked like a burnout, I kid you not it covered the entire stand, I would hate to pay his fuel bill.Dazza.
