what can i do to lower emissons, i have a b16 in a 95 coupe and getting pass the visual is no prob, they dont care much on how the engine looks i just need it to pass the sniffer. i did a complete tune up
plugs, cap and rotor. oil change, stock air box and new filter, stock manifold. just basically a bone stock b16. please post tips and tricks to lower emissons.

OR if you can hep me out "wink wink" PM me. i promise you it will be worth your time

 

If you don't have a cat, try a Carsound (Magnaflow). I passed emissions with ease on my other cars with it installed.

 

What are your number? Then we could help you out more. (provided you took the test already) Also did you change the cat?

Also if they run the car as a 95 coupe with a D15b7 you wont pass. Because your motor needs to be running like a D15b7. But if they run it as a B16 i see no reason that you shouldnt pass.

 

are you doing smog without ref? j/w.
i need to ref mines soon.
what about b18c?

 

i havent taken the test yet, i will run a pre-test soon (friday). i put a new cat on two years ago (last smog check).

also they do run it as a d15b7 engine because thats what my car originally came with

 

get a new cat, or make sure yours is good. if its stock and not passing emission is it really worth it to pay that money to get it passed illegally? i mean that means your motor is runing shitty, if you can't get it to pass

I highly doubt your pass because of this alone. Because when i did my smog first they ran it like a D15 when i had a GSR and it would fail like ****, they switched it to GSR and i passed. So you might not pass because of that. Take the pre-test (<FONT SIZE="5">HIGHLY RECOMMONDED </FONT>) and come back with the numbers if you didnt pass. Try to take 2 pre-test one for the d15 and if you fail for the b16 and see if theres a difference (that way you could correct me as well

bull ****, unless you have an illegal smog person. in the state of california if you change motors at all (different from the stock) you need to get it ref'd. trust me i have been round and round with smog. hopefully spade will chime in also and back me up on it. if you have a b16a in there you will need to get it ref'd, that is the only legal way.

 

i know it needs to be reffed to get a bar sticker, but what im saying is that i just take my car to the smog station dont tell them **** about the motor swap, so when they run my car they think its the stock motor, i dont know about you guys but they just dont ask me what kind of motor i went them to test it as.
i cant just say "test it as a 99civic si b16 please"

i dont think you guys are understanding the question, the motor does not run like **** so it would be worth it to pay illegally.

naturally the b16 puts out more emmissions than a d15 so naturally when they test my car THEY (the smog guy ) thinks its a d15 and im putting out higher emssions than the d15 because of the b16.

i hope this clears things up a bit
