    stuff your cat full of steel wool. itll run like crap and not exceed 80kph but itll do the trick. just dont drive it too long with it in or youll start blowing burn metal out your exhaust which im sure will fail you

    I finally got the pass !!! The problem was with the injectors, seems they were opening too soon/too much/closing late or some combination like that, I'm really not sure, we swapped in a fuel rail (complete with injectors) from a scrapped Integra and it ran and passed beautifully.


    For anyone interested I'll post the readings, the number in bold is the limits and the numbers following are test results in order (4 in total).

    Steady 40 km/h Test

    HC ppm 66
    237 275 107 21

    CO% 0.37 3.76 4.36 0.40 0.01

    NO ppm 757 1436 998 1090 251

    RPM 2089 2064 1555 2086

    Dilution 15.68 16.3 14.6 14.3

    ______________________________

    Curb Idle Test

    HC ppm 200
    767 586 424 50

    CO% 111.05 7.09 5.25 0.03

    NO ppm not applicable for idle test

    RPM 751 790 768 787

    Dilution 17.62 16.8 15.8 13.9
