i dont want this to sound stupid but i bought my talon a while back and now i have a 3in exhaust turbo back with no cats or anything 680 cc injectors 255 walbor fuel pump intake super afac, intake big 16g turbo, evo3 manifold, the whole nine yards and the car always smells like gas i took it to this one place and said it was fine and it was normal because of the stuff i had....... I literally smell like gas when i get out is this normal??? if anyone can help it would be awesome............
 
cleverly disguised bump.... :nono:

If your car is without a cat you'll smell gas more than usual. What is your fuel pressure regulator set at? What are your fuel trims looking like, and what's your boost set at?
Also, what kind of plugs are you running?

I wouldn't say that. He posted the two posts within a minute of each other.

Anyways, yea, what's your fuel pressure, etc. Also, you sure you aren't leaking any fuel? That sure could cause a "gas" smell. :)
 
no im not leaking gas cause i took it to a local shop and i had it all checked.... im running 17 pounds of boost though so i dunno.........
