Has to oscillate around stoichiometry

Yeah, well, obviously that's only at lowish loads, because we're not going to run anywhere leaner than about 12.5:1 with decent boosts on board. And you'd have to be somewhat of a numpty to not set up closed loop cruise and idle. Wouldn't you?

Plenty of numpties around.

 

People just seem to think a cat is magic.

Not sure what emissions test you are thinking of where you would be running decent boost?

I once hinted that a supercharged engine would probably fail (because of emissions) and man did i get burnt by an angry member.

PS: you may wish to edit your post and remove all the carriage returns. I had to take it out of the above quote.

Sorry man didn't notice, how do I edit my post? can't find it anywhere, I only have the option to Report or Share.

My bad, I'm used to other forum software which lets you edit posts after people have quoted you / responded. I cant edit my posts here either. Its probably too late to bother now, things have moved on, but if it was more serious, reporting your own post to a moderator asking for an adjustment has worked for me.

I passed an emissions test in NSW (for Victoria!) doing the IM240 with a cammed LS.

Keep the stock cam when you go there. I had four cats, 2x100 and 2x400cell. They do not seem to impact performance at all. Given how the IM240 is actually done, I see no reason why you would not pass it due to the addition of a supercharger because ALL of the tune is outside any real load cell area. They would barely use 20% throttle in any of it. It is a sample generated in the 1960's of a 4 minute (hence 240) cycle of stop, go, drive around town experience with one pull onto a medium speed highway from like 60-80kmh.

The events are timed, so they cannot say, floor your car from 0-80kmh, the actual acceleration gradient, gear change times, and what gear you are even in are controlled.

In my case I was allowed into the lab/dyno area to directly work with the guys to pass the car, even tune it on the spot. This depends a lot on your charisma and people skills I suspect. The biggest kicker for me was actually idling, and the car produced much more pollutants idling than it did moving. A lot of the test is idle.

Hence a big choppy cam with raw fuel going out the exhaust is _not_ optimal but I barely scraped through. Having a 2003 car you will have more stringent targets to hit than I did, as I was in the 98-2002 bracket.

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
