550cc injectors, maftpro with speed density runing an UNADJUSTED 18psi street tune!

I was excited for it to pass, and it was pretty cool as every tech in the shop and even customers from out in the parking lot watched as the car was on the rollers

Comment, discuss

My NA always just barely passes, except this time it failed. Here are my numbers in CT:

HC
Limit: 167
Actual: 18

CO
Limit: 0.53
Actual 0.02

NOx
Limit: 1167
Actual 1453

Everything is perfect, except the NOx levels. I think I might need a new cat, the car is starting to smell like the cat isn't doing it's job anymore. I have a small leak in the pipe that goes into the cat also. What do you guys think? The car has been idling great, I get 22 mpg highway even.

So... wheres the rest of the 1st post, seems to be missing any relevant technical information besides things that wouldn't effect emissions if done right anyway.

Yeah, I don't get why he's all excited unless it's simply because he passed. None of what he listed effects emissions and the numbers show his engine isn't running right. Ignorance is bliss I guess...

easy guys.... first, this post is a few months old... second, this is in the "general discussion" forum... not tech.


And how exactly do the numbers show my engine isn't running right.... high co levels simply show a "rich" condition as the combustion resulted in too little oxygen and too much carbon to make co2... correct? As already stated, this test was on a rough 18psi street tune on a daily driven car, so if running it a little rich is safe, even more so with the high levels of ethanol in the gas here, then so be it

Fixing your girl's car
My numbers here in CT are:

HC 66
CO .17
NOx 161

I did that on 4/27/07 on bone stock exhaust, cat everything and a new head gasket.

I'm interested in your GVWR, mine says 3665 yours says 4460. Did you have a couple bodies in the hatch? My Equiv Test Wt is 3875 just like yours so I don't get it.

Maybe I should just say screw it. Should I at least try to clean out my EGR, seal up the leak in front of my cat, and take it back for the one free re-test?

What the frick, who knows If I'm even going to keep this car much longer. Using it for a $3000 trade in value is starting to seem more appealing. I need something that's front or all wheel drive, as I just bought a house on a huge friggin' hill. (DoH...) If I do part with the supra, I am going to miss it. Other option is to keep it as a summer/weekend car.

I also failed, I fixed an exhaust leak, changed the O2 sensor, and i went back, cleaned up my EGR system and seafoamed the intake and oil and gas, the numbers were much better but i still failed NOx. I sold the car to some guy, all he said he had to do was change the cat and it passed with flying colors, and he got one of those 40$ ebay models. Not Fair!!!
