im lost here subie runing stupid rich , white smoke at open throttle ?

so im hooking good and fast but the subie is running stupid rich? at open throttle some time a small visible cloud but not all the time, is it possible that it had a turbo at one point , had a wire running from coil and deleted the ox sensors for full 3 inch ? so my question is if i put a turbo on the 2.2 would it run leaner.

oh and what all would i need to go turbo? dont you need like alot of crap on subies?
or did i get shafted on the subie? either way its going to work !! lol

Yes it would run leaner. But without tuning, I wouldn't attempt it. I think your problem is elsewhere. How can you tell it's running rich? The cloud of smoke can be anything. My off the wall guess would be valve seals.

a/f gauge came up extremly rich and i cant figure it out but it back fires

Like we talked about earlier, the o2 sensors being deleted might be the biggest part of the equation. Get all the factory stuff working before you go on a wild goose chase.

looking to see if i can snatch one out the yard and see what happens

I would really go new on an O2 sensor. I don't understand the mentality of using USED sensors. Most of the time they're just as fucked up as the part you're trying to replace, hence the reason it's in a junk yard.

About the only thing I would go used on is a MAF... and that's only if you know it's good.

no u misunderstood i need the headers chief mines is full headers back 1 off piece custom made for rally so its no bungs for o2 sensors ill prob. tap and get one weld so i can use it as oem or get stock headers ( from the junk yard<--) and replace the part(headers)

having a bad day brother ? lol no big man , belive me if i could id always go new but when it comes to sensors i will by first never replace trash with trash, sheet metal on the other hand yeah, junk yard .LOL

Yes, I misunderstood.

And I'm not having a bad day, that's just how I talk.

i would check maf/o2 sensor stuff like already stated, those two sensors talk to each other telling one another what to send more in.

I would do this.

Try O2BUNGS.com I ordered one from them for my wideband. It came with a mild steel one and I wanted to go with a Stainless one. Come to think of it I will sell you mine for $5 buck if you want it. The mild steel one that is. Just let me know. It is a weld in type.
