emissions please explain

The place I go to in Redmond Washington doesn't even pop the hood on the car. As long as you pass the 5 gas emission test your free to go. Basically, they test your gas cap to make sure no gas fumes are getting by it (evaporative emissions, unburned fuel basically) and then they stick the sniffer in the tail pipe for the 5 gas. You get on the rollers and have you drive at like 25 MPH and also have you sit at idle for a bit.

has anybody passed the visual inspection? i need to got get emissons done pretty soon and i was wondering the same question.
get a waiver from a "trusted" shop that sais that the cost to repair emissions is too high, i think over 600 or so (at least in CT its like that)
But he hasn't done $600 in repairs...:naughty:foreverpsycotic said:
I'm in the sorta the same predicament. My car failed emissions by haveing 5 times the amount of hydrocarbons it should. I came home hooked up the EGR wich the previous owner apprently unhooked and replaced a few vacumm hoses. Dont know if that fixed, I'm sure it helped bu probably not all the way. But Appernelty in MD if you get your car lowered and they can't get it on the rollers than they give you a 2 year exemption? I'll probably try that and then eventually get it fixed by a shop.
Slam your car!:evil2:
ok so i talked to the previous owner of my car and he said that with a cat the 1jz will pass emissions no problem.
The only emissions problem i could imagine you would have is Nox emissions. Being im sure theres no EGR to reduce nox, the numbers will be a lil high. If the car isnt put under too much load, and its not running too close to stoich (14.7 AFR) it probably shouldnt produce alot of Nox(oxides of nitrogen produced when combustion reaches 2500 degrees fahrenheit)

Oh, good luck getting a 1jz to pass in California. Almost any other state will pass. But not here.
meh.
1j in CA fo lyfe
not sure exactly what FWIW is, but i didnt mean that you definately will, i just mean thats the only problem that might arise. And its a good possibility that the car wasnt loaded enough to produce high nox levels and the car may not have been hot enough yet. now again, im not giving definates lagged, just offering possible reasoning... if you dont produce nox, good shit, but its basically a law that @ 2500 degrees fahrenheit, nox emissions are produced. If it so happens you are running rich enough to cool the combustion temps, not under enough load during the test, or your engine isnt up to operating temp, then you will not have alot of nox. Nox numbers below 1000 are good. Also, a three way catalytic converter adds rhodium to reduce Nox, but im pretty sure ours are just 2way.

just make a set of 3 cats welded together and bolt them in for emissions tests. Or slip the guy some dough, or ummmmmmmmm steal a sticker
LOL, I just passed emmissions testing with a single stock cat, twin gt28R turbo's, 750cc injectors, and an Emanage ecu. There was no visual insepction though, but 500 hp and passes emmissions is pretty good.

If you meant 3 cats makes it a 3way, youre sadly, yet humorously mistaken. 3 way means it has 3 different materials in it that react with the gasses to reduce harmful emissions... if your sole purpose was comedy, well done.. and as far as passing emissions with 500 hp, i dont see why that wouldnt be possible for anyone with proper tuning, but good job.
Man, I love living in georgia outside of the metro atlanta area, we don't have emission test.:biglaugh:
