    Legnum Vr4 rally art information

    Hi I’m a new member and just brought myself a Legnum Vr4 which has been sat in a garage for number off years I’ve cleaned all the old fuel out and put new plugs in got it running but is running very rich with black smoke coming out exhaust and keeps sooting up the plugs I’ve took the injectors out and cleaned them plus changed the fuel pressure regulator which it did run ok for about 10-20 minutes then started running rich again it has a autronic sm4 ecu fitted which I’m not familiar with but the previous owner said he was a member on here and that I could find all the information about the vehicle on here the reg is V827 EOU if anyone could help me with this would be much appreciated

    Hi and welcome to Club VR-4.

    I'm not familiar with that reg but someone else probably will be. Do you know the name of the former owner?

    Aha! Yes, Csaba and Martin.

    I've worked on that car in the distant past when it was owned by Caveman (Martin) he looked after the car well.

    Ralliart1 (Csaba) has been a regular here and had a few VR-4's and was a good source of parts, another knowledgeable owner.

    Your car has been in good hands previously

    Without knowing how the ECU is set up it is a bit like shooting in the dark, but poor fuelling is often an issue with air leaks. On a stock car an air leak would usually lead to lean fuelling under vacuum and rich under boost. Soot clouds would appear when on throttle, with the size of the air leak having a large effect on how soon and how bad this is. If a main intake hose pops then the car becomes effectively undriveable - it will over fuel to the point of flooding when trying to accelerate.
