Mechanic said it's the worst numbers he has ever seen. I'll be going for a conditional pass on the ground that I'll need a new cat which will price out above the $450.

The idle HC limit is 200PPM, I got 4,213. So close.

 

rotaries are going on the TO BE BANNED list.

 

Wow, high score.

Stock engine? Many mods? ECU?

 

 

 

Bone stock. Relatively new rebuild, 124,000km [On the car, rebuild was about 105,000km]

Now I'm looking for a high flow cat.

 

Me too, mine's cooked or mid pipe with resonator

Magnaflow 24388 Direct FIT Catalytic Converter | eBay

 

Any suggestions for a vendor for my high flow cat? It's painful being Canadian sometimes, like whenever you pay for shipping from the states.

 

I would recommend checking if something is causing a rich mixture. It may not be just the cat not doing its job.

 

we should have a contest and see who's rotary gets the "highest score" when we go attempt emissions, and then just end up with a conditional pass

 

I was in the over-4000 range when I did mine.

I paid the fee for the "emissions analysis" and ended up with my conditional pass.

Put Tester Dude behind car..start it.
If he cries or gags,it fails..
If you cry..it failed.
If he Dies..you sneak out.

 

Does anyone have a used stock cat lying around? Apparently there are issues shipping a cat cross border, which would hinder my effort to get a Bonez unit obviously.

 

You could grab a magnaflow cat with the air tube since your bone stock and get it welded in? I picked one up off ebay from a supplier in toronto a few years ago for like 80$ shipped to my door (this was a 3" and I just welded it into my straight midpipe to be safe from mto). I am pretty sure that the rx7 store midpipe uses a magnaflow cat. Someone correct me if I am wrong?

 

Are you trying to get the car to actually pass or are you going for a conditional pass?

If you're trying to get a conditional pass, you're going about it the wrong way. If the repairs aren't done by a Drive Clean Certified Repair Facility, you're not eligible for a conditional pass.

 

$83 on rockauto for a cat before shipping and taxes..

 

ME too... Just failed today.

High Co, but low HC (200 is the limit, she got 67)

any input? thoughts?

 

Fix that vac leak and locate an oem cat or so. I passed smog but seriously, they need to except them now. It's not fair to us anymore

 

Not quite, my repair facility is going to buy the part for me directly from whichever vendor I choose and will place the cost on my invoice, so I'll get the highflow cat AND a conditional pass.

 

LOL hey, be careful there - I'M MTO and the guys you're saving yourself from are MOE enforcement. Us MTO folk couldn't care less about emissions.

 

Anyone want to guess what Mazda quoted my mechanic for a new cat?





$2580 lol. So I got a conditional pass and I'll leave it at that.

 

I did my e-test last week, and I pass

 

Haha whoops to many government agencies lol

 

Conditional pass..what a joke.

On the condition that you will pay at least $450 every time you want to Have the car pass an Etest.

This Gov't money grab stuff makes me Mad!...I wanna go with an S5 shell but that damn "Permissions Test" is pissing me off!

 

Do you have a Stock engine? Many mods? ECU?......Need to do my test soon and running a Power Fc.....just curious.
