ArtyMillz Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 im going for my emissions in like 30 min and they places i called already dont think im gonna pass just becasue i have a b16 in my crx what do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcat467 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 move to nebraska where there are no emissions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtyMillz Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 lol good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcat467 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I don't see how, if the swap was done right and with care, it would not pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtyMillz Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 yea well he mad a few assumptions hes like im sure your running to rich and that since i have a gutted cat he said im gonna have to buy a new stock 1...idk stuff like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 if you have a b16 with all the emissions controls still in place you should be ok. a functioning cat is required. in fact, if the place that does the inspections for you is a highway patrol outfit they can write you a ticket for the gutted cat since that is blatant tampering with the emission controls of your vehicle.

ArtyMillz Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 hahah yea i just got back i went to a shop wehre i no the owenr he was like ill pretend i dont see that gutted cat lol.....but i failed the test heres whee i failed....my HC(PPM) WAS 194 ITS SUPPOSED TO BE 188......MY CO% IS 1.48 ITS SUPPOSED TO BE 1.00 AND MY NOx(PPM) is 3234 and its supposed to be 2188........i dont no much about this stuff but will a stock cat pass me?

EH6TunerDaniel Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I was sarcastic about my question lol, saying we dont have emissions here. But I'm serious when I say I have no idea what those numbers mean...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcat467 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 But I'm serious when I say I have no idea what those numbers mean...... +1 It's nice living in a state where you can have even raw gasoline coming out the tailpipe and no one can tell you no lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xeryon Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Sorry, I like performance mods out the wazoo, but the emission controls stay installed on my ride. I enjoy clean fresh air and with the current state of the environment I think it can use all the help we can give it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xeryon Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 slowly, region by region Ohio is adding emission checks to allow you to register your car. It will soon enough be just about every region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick B. Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 register your car in mexico then. they dont give a damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 slowly, region by region Ohio is adding emission checks to allow you to register your car. It will soon enough be just about every region. Odd since they eliminated them in Southwestern Ohio at the beginning of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 very nice. they still try to push it through in Columbus every couple years though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Matteu Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Analytical Chemistry (the quick and dirty): "my HC(PPM) WAS 194 ITS SUPPOSED TO BE 188......MY CO% IS 1.48 ITS SUPPOSED TO BE 1.00 AND MY NOx(PPM) is 3234 and its supposed to be 2188" "But I'm serious when I say I have no idea what those numbers mean" The units: PPM is short for Parts Per Million % is short for Parts Per Hundred The use of these units is similar to the labeling on your beer, e.g. 12% alcohol by volume means there is 12 ounces of ethanol for every 100 ounces of beer; by volume means they never weighed the beer, they only measured how much space it occupied at some temperature. The units of volume are arbitrary and only matter in that they must be the same, i.e. ounces with ounces, gallons with gallons, etc. The acronyms: HC is short for hydrocarbons CO is how carbon monoxide is represented in chemistry. NOx is short for nitrogen oxides Hydrocarbons: Hydrocarbons are any molecule consisting of only hydrogen and carbon atoms. Your gas is a mixture of these molecules, so this part of the test is to see how much gas your engine is not burning, i.e. how rich your air/fuel ratio is. Carbon Monoxide: Carbon monoxide is one atom of carbon with one atom of oxygen. It is a natural byproduct of the combustion process. I am not sure why this is part of the test other than to serve as an oxygen sensor or perhaps to see how much gas is being burnt. See, the amount of carbon monoxide produced is a function of the amount of oxygen present. Since the tester cannot tap into your O2 sensors on your car, they might use this to the same effect. Nitrogen oxides: Nitrogen oxides are any molecule consisting of one nitrogen and any number of oxygen atoms. In the context of emissions testing, they are specifically referring to nitrogen oxide and nitrogen dioxide. These two molecules destroy ozone. They come from both nitrogen in your gas and nitrogen in the air. Air is roughly 70% nitrogen which you use cannot use to burn fuel since nitrogen does not support combustion. The point of this part of the test is to see if your catalytic converter works properly, it is supposed to reduce the amount of these guys coming out of your tail pipe. The test results in layman’s terms: Your exhaust was 0.0194% unburnt gas (HC), 1.48% toxic gas (CO), and 0.3234% greenhouse gas (NOx).

VitalSpeed_CRX Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Just pay someone like I did, only 50 bucks and he used his car for the test he just put in my info. Just ask around im sure someone is trying to make extra money on side jobs. but good luck to ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
