MOT Emissions Ga16

[Dusk]

I have got Riks old micra (thanks man).. I have put a new engine in it and its all up and running now hunky dory! (sounds AWESOME!)

After ive finished getting it all it MOT working order; i will have the problem of passing an emissions test..
I dont have a manifold with a cat in, i COULD buy one, but dont really want to.

If i was to bolt 2 underside micra catalysts together and run an exhaust as normal (id get exhaust pipe to fit..) does anyone think that would work in getting emissions to a passable level~?

 

[Ian]

yes, should do.

 

[Fordy]

why 2? you should only need one 1?

 

[Dusk]

I wont have one in the manifold like normal (primeras have one there normally, and again underneith just like a micra afaik)... so i was hoping 2 underside ones would subsitute...

 

[Fordy]

primeras have a primary cat (manifold) and secondary cat (underside)

the first one does all the work the second one is to lower it even more, a primera 2.0gt can get away with only one cat so a 1.6 should be able to

 

[Dusk]

Awesome, i will use 2 then just to make sure, i dont want to fail after all

Thanks fordy! (is there a difference in cats between 1.3 and 1.6? or are they the same insides?)

Glad to see it's up and running, BEF's ecu must be special!

 

[Fordy]

the insides will have the same material in them

Im doing the same thing with the 2.0, emissions up the wall!
