Default running rich/black smoke with b18c1 swap

i recently swapped a '01 b18c1 into my '99 civic ex coupe.. everything went well but im getting like 170-185 miles per tank W/O SMASHING.. yeeeeeah.. everything on the motor is stock cept for a skunk2 mani.. running p72 ecu.. just wondering if anyone might know why it'd be running rich and why it'd be spitting non stop black smoke.. thanks

Do you have a FPR or guage to see what you're pressure is at?

That could be a start....that and a a/f ration guage. I'm not too sure on what numbers you should be running at, hopefully someone with some knowledge chimes in

Are you throwing any CEL's? Sounds to me like a possible bad O2 sensor or O2 sensor wiring.
