Ontario's emissions testing are notoriously tight. Going right now with the new Magnecors and the TG160. Wish me luck!!!!!

[GOT2B GM]

Sorry Nick, no deal on the trade LOL

[GOT2B GM]

Ok....got it retested with the TG160 and new Magnecor wires and came out with TOTALLY different results. LOL

Here we go:

ASM 2525 (25mph driving test)

             Limit      Reading

HC ppm    58          106         Failed the HC instead of the NOx this time
CO %     0.32         0.30
NO ppm  652          118
RPM             1597
Dilution         14.7




Curb Idle Test

             Limit               Reading

HC ppm   200                  89
CO%       1.00                0.63
NO ppm   N/A                 N/A
RPM                926
Dilution            14.5


wOOOOO fun



any thoughts???

I'm thinking of slapping a new cat on it or trying an OEM chip.

[GOT2B GM]

BTW I'm getting a consistant 11 psi out of the car today, its as fast as its been for a few months.....no stuttering or anything  :icon_confused:

I'd try a 12oz bottle of denatured alky to a 1/3 tank of fuel.  It MIGHT pass you.  I know it helped me out when we use to have emissions, but I wasn't failing hardcore, just enough to tick me off and spend more $.

[GOT2B GM]

I'll keep that in mind. Bought a new cat, gonna install it Thursday or Friday

[R Dubya]

I'll get the stocker out today and hopefully you report back with good news afterwards.

[GOT2B GM]

Thanks Ryan

Did you drive it with the new plug wires and the HOT tune chip?

[GOT2B GM]

have yet to do that.......it was raining today....the TGP doesn't see rain.

[R Dubya]

stocker is in the mail.  It's coming from NY but they said it would be about 5-7 days.  3-5 Days was $22 from the USPS and I didn't have time to get to UPS or FedEx.  Sorry but its definitely on the way. 

Don't worry about the shipping it was $2.xx or something.. just get it back to me when you are done with it is all I ask.

[GOT2B GM]

Thanks man, much appreciated. It will be headed right back to you when I'm done.

I got the new cat clamped into place today after work.......but I left the dome light on in the car yesterday, so needless to say, the car is on the charger now.

[GOT2B GM]

It PASSED!!!!!!!!!

Put a new cat on it and it did the trick, barely, but whatever. LOL

Here's the results.

ASM2525

HC ppm      58                 54
CO%        0.32              0.12
NO ppm    652                24
RPM                 1569
Dilution             14.2

Curb Idle Test

                 Limit             Reading
HC ppm      200               23
CO%          1.00              0.11
NO ppm      N/A               N/A
RPM                   896

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After the test, I took it to an exhaust shop and got the cat welded and removed the clamps.

Ryan, I'll ship that chip back ASAP, thanks for your troubles.
