MPI high emissions

[Dylan8660]

Aw c'mon, do tell.
Some of us are very intrested in this subject (my own is up for nct in dec).

general wisdom seems to be to keep it unmodified as the NCT emissions standard is very high the later the car is.

having said that i cant imagine major kit suppliers selling stuff that will fail the car on MOT/NCT would seem self defeating?
in this case i'm sure paul will sort it out!

Keith, did you get this sorted? I have the Mpi in for an NCT this afternoon and it had failed for emissions with the previous owner.

Billy, i just spoke to Karl again a few mins ago, seemingly the car still failed the nct, in spite of various re-builds, new cat, injectors, lambda sensor, re-setting the fuel pressure etc.
This car is a UK import and its never had an NCT although presumably it had an MOT (!)
It has a some kind of performance kit which includes roller 1.5:1 rockers, air-filter and fuel pressure regulator and the divil knows what else. it certainly goes really well, both in a straight line and round the twisty bits.

he's going to try that "Diptane" stuff.

failing that, i suggested replacing the rockers back to standard and trying again.

in your case with an unmolested engine you should breeze the thing. good luck.

did ya get a result?

[Billy]

Needn't have worried. It failed for a brake and high lights but the emissions were miniscule.

Minor stuff.
It wont take long to sort that and then you'll be street legal Billy!!!
