Wanted: Tips on passing emissions for SR

SON240sx Automotive
1

My test is tonight at 7pm at Canadian Tire. :noes:

Here’s my checklist:

  • Running Sunoco 94 OCT (1/2 tank)
  • I’ve put about 40KM on motor last night (a few hard +ve boost runs).
  • Magnaflow cat (will make sure to warm it up nicely before test)
  • Baffled muffler (Flowmaster)
  • No leaks on exhaust
  • Not sure on my A/F ratio. Might be a bit lean.
  • Plan to mention to the tester to put the car in “HOT ROD” category.
  • Hope I get a kid who doesn’t know much to do my test. :rofl:

Things I haven’t done:

  • Replaced plugs since getting motor
  • Replaced O2 since getting motor

Wish me luck.

Dude I think you will be fine

are you running full emissions equipment? the EGR or whatever??

i ran RACE fuel, mixed with 94 octane
SAFC leaned out for all points where the test occured
hot road category
leaky exhuast (this is BETTER because it doesnt reach the probe)
2.5" cat fresh at the time

i still went 10 times over the limit

no EGR

u want good advice?

cancel the appointment and get a hot one. get me on msn.

tell them it’s a diesel :lol:

5

Dont forget to drop in some fuel injector cleaner 8)

6

I herd Pee will fix that right up and maybe a little bullshit!

unless all your emissions crap (EGR, charcoal canister, AIV) is intact you don’t stand a chance in hell of passing… especially at CT.

and why start a thread about this? it’s been discussed in the FAQ/How-to section… and i know you know that, but i guess you feel special.

:roll:

8

Sure-Pass couldn’t do any harm…? :dunno:

Let us know how it goes and what the numbers are…and good luck.

Ed told me there’s no EGR on the SR :squint:

Charcoal canister was taken out…all it does it burn fuel vapour. :dunno:

10

I’ve heard cases where if the car is too low to “safely” get it on the dyno, they do a 2 stage idle test (like what they do with 4WD cars)… this is mostly at the Canadian Tire near my house though, at which my friend works… who is lazy.

Or you can just tell them its 4WD. :stuck_out_tongue:

11

Two words…Methol Hydrate (AKA methanol).

12

Seven words…And what do I do with it?

13

Drink it. Then when you’re dying on the CT floor, the guy might feel sorry for you and pass your car.

14

ROFLMAO

Gonads, just friggin drop one like it’s hot…or get one like it’s hot…or get a hot one.

whatever.

15

HAHA! Gonad’s gettin’ drilled for trying to pass the SR he finally got… :lol:

16

Anyone trained by “the ministry” knows better than to show any form of compassion or sympathy… they were trained not to feel emotions.

I actually think they get fired for showing emotions…

17

G,

if u have no EGR you HAVE to cancel your appointment.

you will not pass. it wont even be close.

even if you run 3214346456 octane gas you still wont come close.

i’ve tried it with more control of the AFR than you have and i was still 10x over the limit.

save your $40.

get a hot one.

18

thats BS…i passed twice with my car…no egr, big manifold, big turbo outlet, big FMIC…
as long as ure cat is good, and ure o2 is good and ure motors running well u will have no problem passing…

19

my O2 was fine, my cat was brand new, engine still runs well…

10 times over the limit on all numbers…

maybe we are buying our engines from the wrong place?

where did u get yours Varun?

20

I’m skurred now. :noes:

No EGR, No carbon canister; no way to monitor my A/F levels.

Ah well, next two test are $17.50 ea if I fail this one…

Bing I’ll hit you up on e-mail if I fail :rofl:
