Ian, be sure to bring it to the spring meet....would love to see it.

 

Not sure when the spring meet is? Busy year for me. Also on my post I said 8km. LOL I meant more like did 600km this weekend.

 

Spring meet is end of the month. Sticky at the top of the page. Be there! LOL

 

So I now have about 1000km on the engine breakin. Car runs reasonable well for base map. Had to tweak a bit as the fuel is pretty rich. Starts cold or hot. Still needs idle and throttle pump adjustments.

Anyhow, her she is sitting in the garage. Outside the car is just awesome in the sun. Extremely Happy with Classicauto paint job and choice of colour.

Also picture below is the worlds most expensive cat converter and RB flanges!!! Better pass emissions with flying colours and remove the odour.

So now see if I pass emissions, figure out why sequential ignition (AEM coils) does not work, get the car a tune and enjoy the summer.

My wish list over the next few years.
-Redo the seats
-Ground control coilovers
-Front lip (I cannot find one)
-Ronin Speed works big brake kit or SG garage if they ever make one for and FC HINT HINT...

 

Looking good Ian....bring it out next Sunday.

 

Can't wait to see your car in person!! It's looking great. I will take a cruise to your place sometime soon and we will swap keys and go for a spin.

 

My plate stickers will not allow me to go next sunday Cat converter install is this saturday then need to etest. Took some time to arrange purchase of the converter.

Sounds like a plan. Once the car gets a full tune. We can get the guys for a BBQ and beer afterwords.

 

You plan on running the cat with the oem airpump?

 

Well the plan was to use the air pump. My Adaptronic is wired to run the logic of the air control valve/air pump. Marco says I don't need an airpump to pass emissions with this cat converter.

 

Looking good Ian! Too bad you already had the flanges I found a set I bought from racing beat years ago just the other day.

 

Sweet, cant wait to see the results. Might even pick one up for emissions next year

 

Ya HybridG had a spare too. Missed out. To bad as the dollar is harsh right now.

Will keep you updated. Hope it lasts too.

 

Cat now installed. No pictures yet. Forgot to bring the camera.

So car now smells alot better. Its pretty clean even idling 12.5 in the garage during warm up. My brother driving behind me says he can still smell the car though.

But tomorrow the Etest will show the truth

 

Well it didn't pass. Idle at 13.3a/f and 2500rpm it was about 15a/f. PAss at 2500rpm test fails at idle.

2500rpm
HC =34
CO = .03

idle
HC = 471
CO - 2.68

Limit
HC=200
CO=1

Wondering if I have something wrong with my idle circuit.

 

Or just the converter wasn't lit good enough. Did you have to go for a good drive to get to the etest shop? Likely if the car was driven good and hard and then tested it would pass both.

 

It was warm enough. Drove 45 minutes almost to get there. He held it at 2500rpm for a long time too. Might be that it was idling at 750rpm? (Marco says it will pass if I turn the idle up ) I heard the car stall ou. If that was during the test the ECU goes rich for sometime when you restart it. Maybe he had the idle test during this rich time?

Turning up the idle to 1100rpm, leaning it out and hoping for a pass this monday. Just want the pain to stop. LOL

Shops say it might be because the cat has only 50km on it. Or the engine has 1000km on it?

 

Take a road trip to Deals Gap and back...that will break it in.

 

Or a good Bruce County tour...

 

it will pass, just needs an emissions tune and yes raise the idle.....after your emissions test is over reload a proper tune back in.....technology my friend!!

 

Passes emissions flying colours legally. Sweet. Now Marco to tune. Stay tuned for HP figures on none smelly rotary LOL. I can sit in the garage closed with the car running. Not that that is a good idea lol

 

Great...amazing.....happy to hear you passed...I'm up for testing next year, cant wait....NOT!!! So I guess this means the car will be at the meet on Sunday.....No excuses

 

I have no excuse other them all weekends are usually booked. Have to drop previously plans to go. But looks like I am going. what cat do you have?

 

So what did u end up doing to get it to pass?

 

I'm running a Pettit high flow......just found out recently that my air pump may need replacing....

 

Air pump installed programed to run all the time to port air. Aka injets air into manifold. I dont know if It did anyhing. Turned idle up to 1100. I think the only reason why it failed the first time is because it stalled during the test. Reconfirmed with tech it stalled during test when I went back. When this happens the adaptronic goes into 20% more fuel. Love the cat install. I can idle at stop lights and cruise without stink.
