Your oil smelling like gas is because its probably running crazy rich--FMU,bigger injectors and retarded timing = pig rich

you posted this in the civic forum as well.

you also mentioned that you had the same setup on your last motor the lasted a day and you blew the motor

ill post the same thing here
----

and you put the same fuel mangement on the 2nd motor.
learn from your mistakes and get rid of the FMU.

list a little more detail about your setup

what size turbo?
how much boost?
what size injectors?
what kind and size FMU?

platinum.

No, your half-assed fuel management is the problem.

Get something tunable, some larger injectors, and some dyno tuning done and that will most likely fix your problem.

Keep the OBD2 stuff around so that when emissions tests come around, you can put that on. I recommend a chipped ECU running your choice of engine management: Hondata, Crome, Uberdata, etc.
