Ok so...
My car needs to be aircared within 2.5 months, as I failed one as I was insuring it for the second time since F.O.B. I got the 3 months conditional insurance for now.
Car had been off road for 3 months between the initial insurance and the current one. For basic information:
The FOB car was a pretty much stock HCR32 except:
13 PSI boost
Atmospheric BOV
High flow muffler
When the car came back on the road these were added:
FMIC
Apexi intake
Aluminum rad
14 PSI boost
I cannot get the car to pass aircare. I need tips/help to pass as I am adding a 3" test pipe, 3" downpipe, GTR injectors, and a tuned ECU. I figure I would have a better chance passing with the current conditions than after these mods.
Here are my results:
Attempt 1: FAILED (miserably)
Hydrocarbons: (g/km) ALLOWABLE: 0.5000 MY READING: 1.8639 (jeebus...)
Carbon Monoxide (g/km) ALLOWABLE: 9.3200 MY READING: 10.0763
NOx (g/km) ALLOWABLE: 1.24 MY READING: 0.6512
My cat works, as NOx was good. However I realized later that your car had to be somewhat warm before doing Aircare (dyno for 4 minutes at various speeds up to 90 kph) The car had been on for only 5 minutes prior to the test as I was in a rush, and it also ran on 98 Octane (mostly Toluene in the tank from before storing the car, I totally forgot) :hit newb: :hit_head:
So I decided to attempt again, this time I siphoned out the high octane fuel, put in 90 octane, with abit of methyl hydrate, and turned the boost down to 10 PSI. Plus I revved my engine for a good 20 minutes before to make sure the cat was hot and working better. I got better results, but still failed.
Attempt 2: FAIL
HC: 0.9236 g/km reduced from 1.86 g/km but still higher than 0.500 g/km
CO: 5.8608 g/km reduced from 10.0763 g/km PASS
NOx: 0.2332 g/km reduced from 0.5280 g/km PASS
I had all day to do this, and was determined to pass, so I went again after revving my engine at 4000 RPM for 10 minutes to make my cat even hotter to make sure all the excess fuel got burnt. Numbers improved, but still no pass. I put in more Methyl hydrate.
Attempt 3: FAIL
HC: 0.7537 g/km reduced further, but still failed by 0.2 g/km!!!
CO: 2.6692 g/km reduced even further, passed with flying colours.
NOx: 0.2689 g/km slightly higher, but passing with flying colours.
Still too much excess fuel... wtf!! This is starting to cost me quite a bit... I was running low on fuel so I put in 5 bux of 87 octane in. Revved the engine abit to keep similar temperature I blanked my BOV off in the parking lot, incase that was causing richness. WRONG
Attempt 4: MEGA FAIL
HC: 1.1687 g/km Jeebus, went up dramatically. Failed miserably.
CO: 4.4190 g/km Went up as well. PASS
NOx: 0.3900 g/km Went up as well. PASS
I want to try ONE more time, and that's it. This HAS to pass. Any suggestions? I've tried pretty much all the tips given in the past on SEARCH and from other people. What is wrong with my car !!!!
Thanks alot if you can help.
