Emissions question

Hi gang,
DSM pulled a 323 HC ppm at idle, limit is 200, everything else was fine. Any ideas, legal or illegal to get a pass, shoot me a pm.

i dont even bother trying to legally pass cars anymore.

did that cat have a cat?

Cat is present and accounted for, just not sure if it actually does stuff. I’m gonna try that “guaranteed to pass” crap, and if it still fails, I’ll just say fuck it and garage it till next winter, since it’s almost spring anyway and I won’t have to drive the POS.

just tell them to test it under hot rod setting

my car passed with 550cc injectors and a test pipe

How do I justify hot rod? Is pointing under the hood and saying “Look, it says Mitsubishi on the engine, but on the back of the car it says Eagle!” enough?

depends on the mechanic

if it’s at, say, a CT, they will require a greater standard of proof than that

if it has a exhaust. and you can say its a jdm motor and all that shit

i dont see why they would have a problem with it

^^ that’s exactly why

why would a testing site risk huge fines and their license based on what some random customer says?

Hmm… any places that you’ve been to that are very laid back about that?

my buddy got his e test done at ct. he had a 2.5 rs with a sti swap. they tested it as a hot rod.

sho them the vins# if they have a problem. say its a evo motor or somthing

I’ll try the vin route, but you do realize all the other cars you named are swapped, and mine’s factory turbo? I do have a JDM motor, but it’s not as drastic of a swap as those scenarios.

go to brampton. the ct at trinity commons.

the service manager knows nothing about cars
