visual and/or sniffer good.
obd-II bad. |
How can you pass a sniffer on a turbo Miata? With boost you're gonna be burning a helluva lot more fuel than it ever did N/A so even if it's a good mixture and good cat it's still gonna be over the stock limits won't it?

they typically test at a sustained 15mph and 25mph, you're not in boost and if you can tune worth a damn, you'll pass with better numbers than stock. would you like to see my last results? https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1357754359 |
Ummm, every 2 years when I emissions test my car lol. They flog them on the rollers, take it up to 50-60mph. Accelerate and decelerate several times to simulate real world driving. Sounds like they hit about 5k rpm before shifting. Not everywhere is the South.

sounds like the operators just want to fuck you.

Could be. Could be that we care about air quality.
What would you suggest? I don't have to worry about visual or OBD, just sniffer. If I open the wastegate fully will the turbo build any boost at all? Like not even 1psi? |
That sounds like a non-standard test. You should really look up what the testing actually is supposed to be in your area and report the shop to the state if they are abusing your car like that on the rollers.

Sounds like Hilter runs CO. remind me never to visit. |

You do realize there are lots of factory turbocharged cars, right? You're going to have to make sure to have a better tune, but there's no reason your car shouldn't pass the sniff test if you have a good catalytic converter installed and a good tune.
|
I could EASILY pass.
|
How can you not pass with boost? I figured WRXs and STis would be very popular in CO. I'm sure those pass, stock and modded. And the WRX did not have easy targets, only the STi did.
|
Cuz they say "stock Miata allowed to put out this much CO2 in this amount of time" then they drive my Miata on the rollers, build boost and that limit is smashed.
Stock WRX is stock...

Thanks for the help dude! Can you explain how to bend the laws of physics?

Do you not understand that more fuel in = more carbon out?
|
Its measured in parts per million, stupid. in other words more air = more fuel =~ the same ratio of carbon particles to total particles.
|
And in boost you need richer AFR otherwise you have to pull tons of timing then you fail Nox.
