[Maz]

I hope this dont turn out to be more problems with the SC...

[Chris.S]

I ****ing hope not, ive had enough problems this year

[Gord]

cars that run (rich) like the supercharged will have sooty exhaust, its normal for this to happen, you can sort it by getting the fueling sorted on rolling road, sorting the ecu out ect ect, thats why am going to the rolling road in stockport on the 20th chris to see what its running like ?

[dark_is200]

Very, very black and sooty

[Bazza]

by all the soot i think thay are running rich ? will be sure when on rolling road ?

[DUNCAN]

Mines been on the rolling road, and it's still sooty..... ;)

[TonyGoose]

Mine just looks black and yucky. Having said that ...

I've not had what i'd call a 'normal' looking exhaust since 4* was stopped.

Unleaded fuel seems to mean yacky black exhaust tips ....

I used to clean the tips on my CRX exhaust by running a tank of 4*

Is this inside or outside?

Mine's like the rest here and black / very sooty......

I don't know of any Japanese car that doesn't run way too rich under closed loop conditions, and the is200 is no exception.

The standard superchargered models has near perfect open loop A/F until you start to modify the installation, when it starts to become lean.

The closed loop cycle is most idling and cruising conditions.

Mark, when you say modify the installation do you mean basic stuff like the TDI induction and exhaust etc or more advanced mods such as ECU, TDI Stage 1 / 2 upgrade etc?

TIA
