I was diggin thru my FD cleanin it out and found my emissions testing results from July 2005

Cruise Limit -
HC= 150 (I was 150)
CO= 1.1% (I was .04%)

Idle Limit -
HC= 220 (I was 3072 lol)
CO= 1.2% (I was 8.55%)

I think I have/had a problem at idle?? lol No airpump or pre-cat. Bolt ons and stock ECU.

This sheet says my car has 8.7 hp

BTW for those of you who are not familiar with me or my car, it hasn't been licensed since this test...

 

HC-idle=47 CO=0%
HC-cruise=1

im still trying to figrue out how my car went through withs such low numbers

 

Tim, why hasn't it been licensed? Couldn't get it to pass?

Since your airpump is gone and your precat is gone...your main cat probably gets lots of heat..probably ready to fail or has failed already. Your car naturaly runs rich on idle hurrah, and with your exhaust filtration gone...im sure you can really smell it out the tailpipe. Not to mention if its up at above 2k on the HC at idle you probably have a misfire or you need to pull timing at idle. But most Rotaries experience emissions fails at idle, they lean out at cruise or 2525 engine load. Theres a way to get your car licenced still even if you fail your next test, if you decide to.

and the 8.7hp is actually the calucation of the power rotation of your alternator.

If you have a safc or fuel tuning program you can lean it out at idle to a certain point. most people pass with a little bit of tuning even with full exhaust. To bad it runs and sounds like crap when they do. lol

 

lol
Wargasm- No I couldn't pass emissions and I have another car and the FD has a bad coolant seal now so I'm not too worried about driving it until the rebuild is done.

WingsofWar - I have a PFC I put in this year, well after the emissions testing in July 2005. I have yet to get it tuned due to the fact the car runs like s*** when it idles and I never drive it. The midpipe, MBC, and the PFC have been added post emissions test =) See sig for mods.

I am also contemplating adding methanol injection to the car which may help if I can inject it at lower rpms, otherwise I have seen lately a lot of people are recommending acohol in the tank to pass..... We shall see. I know for a fact I'd fail a visual inspection lol But like I said I'm in no hurry... I do miss driving it, but I want to wait until I have my new engine to re-test
