If your car is running as rich as it must be running for all that black smoke and soot, then there should be a check engine light and a corresponding code. I think autozone/pep boys will tell you the code for free.
Would changing out the hi flow aftermarket injectors for stock ones cut the fuel flow down?

But if your PCM is tuned for the new injectors, they shouldn't run rich like the appear to.

No way to guarantee the previous owner tuned it right. I do know he put higher flow injectors in though.

i would try some prelude injectors, then reset the ECU, that ought to compensate for the fuel changes. honestly though, MD420 has more experience with Hondata and tuning turbos than me, so try PMing him, or posting this in the ECU and fuel management section.
