Default Gas smell from tail pipes on cold starts.

Like the topic states. check my sig for setup. Im running 52 psi on the fuel regulator. Is it normal to smell straight gasoline from the tailpipes on cold starts. Car runs like a beast though. Cant complain!

Um, no. I would call that 52 psi into question, as well as the "chipped" ecu.

The vacuum hose on the fpr, is it on or off when you read 52 psi?
it shouldn't smell like gas

I'm not sure what you're fuel pressure is supposed to be. I'm at 50 psi on my b16 with hose off.
I'd check the tank. Look for leaks in the fuel lines. I think fpr is ok.
