Has to oscillate around stoichiometry

Yeah, well, obviously that's only at lowish loads, because we're not going to run anywhere leaner than about 12.5:1 with decent boosts on board. And you'd have to be somewhat of a numpty to not set up closed loop cruise and idle. Wouldn't you?

Plenty of numpties around.

 

People just seem to think a cat is magic.

Not sure what emissions test you are thinking of where you would be running decent boost?

I once hinted that a supercharged engine would probably fail (because of emissions) and man did i get burnt by an angry member.

PS: you may wish to edit your post and remove all the carriage returns. I had to take it out of the above quote.

Sorry man didn't notice, how do I edit my post? can't find it anywhere, I only have the option to Report or Share.

My bad, I'm used to other forum software which lets you edit posts after people have quoted you / responded. I cant edit my posts here either. Its probably too late to bother now, things have moved on, but if it was more serious, reporting your own post to a moderator asking for an adjustment has worked for me.

I passed an emissions test in NSW (for Victoria!) doing the IM240 with a cammed LS.

Keep the stock cam when you go there. I had four cats, 2x100 and 2x400cell. They do not seem to impact performance at all. Given how the IM240 is actually done, I see no reason why you would not pass it due to the addition of a supercharger because ALL of the tune is outside any real load cell area. They would barely use 20% throttle in any of it. It is a sample generated in the 1960's of a 4 minute (hence 240) cycle of stop, go, drive around town experience with one pull onto a medium speed highway from like 60-80kmh.

The events are timed, so they cannot say, floor your car from 0-80kmh, the actual acceleration gradient, gear change times, and what gear you are even in are controlled.

In my case I was allowed into the lab/dyno area to directly work with the guys to pass the car, even tune it on the spot. This depends a lot on your charisma and people skills I suspect. The biggest kicker for me was actually idling, and the car produced much more pollutants idling than it did moving. A lot of the test is idle.

Hence a big choppy cam with raw fuel going out the exhaust is _not_ optimal but I barely scraped through. Having a 2003 car you will have more stringent targets to hit than I did, as I was in the 98-2002 bracket.

    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
