bad smell when on high rpm

[mazen222]

Everytime i race or i rev too high there's this wierd smell that comes out the vents. Its like a dead animal or a realy nasty fart.

Will that lysol thingy work or is it something else?


Thanks

i had the same problem with my lara, it was some build up of some sort........i never went high rpms so when i did i got the smell. take her on the highway do bout 120kph in 3rd for a good ways that should help clean her out

Dont give advice like that...its not gonna do anything.

Haha so true. going that fast wont solve anything. redline RPM in 1st is the same as 4th, no need to go speedracer and take unnecessary risks.

FYI-that smell is common on older cars and as long as you pass smog fine then it'd keep it stock unless you absolutly need the performance. Its proven that stock cats are more restrictive but also does its job better with emissions because of the high platinum content vs. aftermarket ones.

Easiest fix if you want, O2 sim and swappable test pipe. I say go big or go home

Normal on older Toyota cats. Mine does it to. I just live with it, haha.

again on that platinum on OEM though. Seems like Toyotas around Norcal are getting hit bad. There've been many reports of cut off cats esp in the trucks/suv's since people sell them. The toyota dealer where my buddy works here in Sac offers free Vin number etching to try and prevent selling of stolen cats.

Yea I have heard of that esp with the toyota trucks because of the high platinum content and of course platinum being worth about $2000 an ounce.

i havent smelled anything funny at high speeds on my lara. except mabye a little oil spilled on the manifold during an oil change.

well it worked for me so i dont think my problem was the cat, and 120kph is the norm on my highways....
