i am so nervous
 

of all the like 8 hondas I have owned, I have never smogged one. I am having my da smogged right now. I am sooooo nervous, lol. I hope it passes. shivers.

well if it literally right now I cant help but if your doing it in a little bit go beat the piss out of the car



get it uber hot
and loosen the bolts around the cat creating a small exhaust leak ya sounds ghetto but some of the #'s I got off my old zc were prove damn near 0's and well below what the car was suppose to pass at


nice basic tune up
and a fresh cat



you got a winner

Re: i am so nervous
 

i just got a adj fpr and turned it so low it would barely run. but i passed :y

Re: i am so nervous
 

well it failed, haha. I kinda expected it to, I got a pretest though, so it doesn't get sent in.

well, my main concern wasn't the issue. Car has a B20 in it and that was over looked, good thing.

didn't pass visual since there were a few things missing [charcoal canister, some hoses, etc.]

I ran the car for a good minute, smog guy even left it running for a minute. I passed the NO readings, but failed horribly on the HC and CO%, 3x the max limit. I shoulda put more denatured alcohol in there, I only put like half a pint. I shoulda chugged the whole quart in there. oh well

All in all I am satisfied. Failed, but not because of the B20 in there. I kinda expected it to fail, it has 310 injectors in there too on a stock Pr4. Ya'll think the B16 tranny in there could have affected my results? Since I'd be at a higher rpm than usual?

Well the car will be posted in the classifieds soon, lol. and not becuase of the smog, it's cause I'm gonna pick up a bone stock del sol [insert gay smilie]

Re: i am so nervous
 

i could have hooked you up with a spot to smog it for 150

Re: i am so nervous
 

That's your only problem.

HC is unburned gas, and CO is incomplete combustion. Expect NOx to come up as you lean her out, as NOx gasses are the product of overly hot combustion and/or detonation.

You can probably do a FPR or AFC trick.

Re: i am so nervous
 

yeah, I put it through the smog knowing that it would fail from the excess fuel, but i was just trying to be hopeful =P

I'm gonna swap them out for stock 240's later when I get my injectors back.

thanks for the info JD... what don't yyou know. :-*

Re: i am so nervous
 

A lot, unfortunately.

Re: i am so nervous
 

All that I know, is that I don't know.

Re: i am so nervous
 

310's on a stock pr4 map=mucho petro. Kinda surprised it actually runs alright like that. All the old prelude setups before the days of cheap chipped ecu's we ran around 25 psi vaccum on the fpr on a p72 to make up for the ecu map.
