eMission: passed
Though the standard for 17 year old cars isn't very high, my car passed with a HUGE margin. Goes to show that regardless of how a car is modified for performance, if it meets the emissions standard set for the same car unmodified, it should be legal. This was all Link auto tuning - first coarse, then some fine.

I'm assuming you actually do have a cat in place?
I have to get through emissions before the end of the month. Considering putting the CatCo cat back on vs trying to get through it with the test pipe.
What pisses me off is that no one 1/8 a mile from me in a 270deg arc has emissions. I am *just* in the county line, which appears to be amazingly jerrymandered.

I car that passes emissions is well tuned car IMO. For our sake, what we really care about is making power in boost and that's not tested. You could in fact run leaner out of boost and get better mpg - and you might fail. The real issue for power is the cat. It's not an issue for me (I'm eco-centric 
) but there are high flow cats out there - cha-ching. I'm running a 3" universal from ebay that was under $40 delivered.
Ben I have an old cat shell that you could split and tack on both sides of your exhaust pipe to sandwhich the shell around it. :gay:
RotorNut - I think I could school you pLink in about an hour. I'm around all weekend if you're up for the road trip- or traveling thru. For tuning boost you will need something to viewe datalogs- DLL has a 30 day trial. - rob

My b-day is tomorrow. 
I'm in Decatur - 5 miles east of downtown ATL. Shoot me a pm/email and we'll sort something out. Once you're "learned" you have to post up a tutorial for all the pLink converts.
But Sav- I would have passed in India.
I was rich, no doubt pulling 3 pts of master fuel would make me CA legal on the snif... of course everything else is a no-go.

Oh, you aren't far away then. Closer than other people I've gone to meet up with! But yeah, we can work something out, that is, if I'm still alive. I decided that this year was a good time to jump out of a perfectly good airplane from 3 miles up.
lol

Happy birthday Rob. Kind of skin of your teeth with the emissions there buddy. 
I'm not worried about the visual check. It's don't ask/don't tell. But I have to get through the sniff test.
Eric, I think you'll be closer to 2 miles up than 3.

Thanks guys.
Weather should at least be cooler "up there".
I didn't think it was that close of a pass- I just looked at a sheet from 02 for a 95 626 v6 and I would have passed that with a big margin too. That's five years ago on a car that was five years newer.
Here's some history (25/25) of my 90 for comparison-
2002, supercharged 1.6 with AFPR running pig rich
2003, Link ECU leaned out (better tune) from 2002

Would "hot combustion" and high egt produce similar results?
If so- then rich (excessive fuel) can lead to unburnt fuel escaping the cylinder post power stroke and completing burn in the head post valve and exhaust manifold. That would definitely raise EGTs.
