If it's just the engine running rich under load, I'm happy. Rather that vs a lean AFR mix.
This! All the Japanese cars run super-rich under WOT, but it's less common in the Euros, and rarer still when tuned. Still, short of being a bit down on peak power, there's nothing wrong with running a bit rich. The excess fuel lowers the combustion temps inside the cylinders.Quote:

Most tuned R's and indeed stock ones do give a little belch of smoke.
A bit of the smoke under WOT is also from carbon build up which the Ea113's are famous for.
Got to get that catch can fitted.Quote:

Turns out the hose has a ring of oil on it, which has softened it up compared to when I first fitted it, and the oil has somehow accumulated after a month of not driving it. So catch can is definitely going to go in soon (and a cable tie seems to be doing the trick on the hose).Quote:
