ok guys, when i start my car (rb25det series 2) it will shoot black liquid from the exhuast pipe and if i rev it a little it will shoot it about six feet behind the car. it idles like crap and will die sometimes when pushing the clutch in until it gets warm or drivin a bit. today i put a new q45 maf on and a new 02 sensor and started it up and it idled great, a little high 1300 but perfect no sputtering or poping it really sounded good, but it still shot out the black liquid until it got warm and then stopped. i no i probly need a nismo afpr but i cant seem to figure out what would cuase this to happen until the car warms up?

my set up is this

1997 series 2 rb25detgreddy manifoldq45 tbq45 maft3/t4 turbo .633inch downpipe and all the way back650cc injectorsfront mounthks bovapexi power fc / cammandertuned last year at 335whp 11psi/ 396whp 17psi

i have only put aboout 200 miles on it since it was tuned and it did this ever since?

its just carbon from the exhaust being knocked loose from the heat/expansion/water being produced from cold combustion.

dont worry.

DIRTY INGECTORS WILL MAKE YOUR GAS BURN LESS AND IT WILL CAUSE THIS. PUT A INJECTOR CLEANER WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS AND IT SHULD CLEAN UP. ABOTH $3.

Its normal guys lol. My KA does it. Just spits all over my garage door. Think its like water + carbon build up or Fuel and Carbon build up. Either way nothing harmful. Suggest cleaning it up before it settles though lol.

A combination of condensation and carbon that lays throughout your entire exhaust system.

In other words.

Normal.

Normal. I started the car with the garage door closed once. Needless to say, that was the last time I made that mistake.
