Thread: chunks of black smoke

  1. #1

    Default chunks of black smoke

    Hey guys, recently I noticed that when driving on full throttle I noticed chunks of black smoke(my mate told me when driving behind me). What could be a reason?
    I got MS3 08(only traveled 31k), dead stock except CPE SRI and TurboSmart BOV set to 50/50.
    I came up with few reasons:

    1)I dont trash my car, so when I do it, all the crap that was building up in the system is coming from exhaust
    2)I'm running rich due to BOV being set to 50/50
    3)First signs of Turbo problems? Worth mentioning that I never ever had smoke, only recently found out, that it happens under full boost.
    I change Oil every 5k,

    Any other clues?

    Normal, all MPS run a bit rich, don't worry about it.
    Most turbo cars are the same.
    If it was white or blue smoke, then worry.

    Sounds normal, but 50/50 BOV wont be helping

    The MPS runs fairly rich, at WOP especially. If you use a little bit too much throttle when the engine is still warming up you will get some smoke as well.

    Thanks a lot for the feedback, sounds like false alarm

    It is useful as a smokescreen if baddies are chasing you as well. If you see one in your mirror, shift it back to 2nd and cover your tracks.

    Pretty common.

    Not a concern unless it's continuous.

    my one does that too.
    actually what's the reason behind this?
    is it because on full throttle, too much fuel injected but the ignition system didn't catch up, so cause some unburn fuel lets out?
    does any modification can moderate this issue? i think i'll increase some efficiency...
