Yeah I hate to say it Jesse but I highly doubt it will pass emissions with your setup ![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)

I feel it is my duty in this forum is to put crazy ideas in your head. Jesse your problem is Gasoline, it is such a dirty fuel. Once a year (emission test day) treat your MX-3 to a much cleaner burning fuel(denatured alcohol).
1000HP cars with no catalytic converters or any emission control equipment can easily pass emissions running denatured alcohol.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denatured_alcohol" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
1. Buy 1-2 quarts of denatured alcohol from your local hardware store (Home Depot)
2. Run your tank down anywhere from 1/4 tank to the E line.
3. Put the bottle of denatured alcohol into your tank.
4. Warm up the car and drive it immediately to your emissions place. (it will run like Sheot).
5. Pass emissions with flying colors
6. Either run down your tank or siphon out the rest of the fuel. (it is corrosive).
6. Fill up a with a FULL tank of dirty old gasoline to dilute any denatured alcohol that's left.

Re: fowljesse's GS/SE DE/ZE ;)
Sweeet! Thanks for coming through with the info! I was thinking about running Coleman white gas, but I suppose this would be better.

Re: fowljesse's GS/SE DE/ZE ;)
I tried the Denatured Alcohol. I think it works better on Carbed cars
I got a little closer, but still failed. Fortunately, I can go as many times as I want for free. I played with the fuel, and spark, and ran it at stoichiometric for denatured alcohol. I even advanced the timing, since the Alcohol is high octane. NO avail. CJthor and I welded up a 2.5 inch exhaust with a much bigger Cat. I'll try again tomorrow.
One thing I discovered in the process that was good; I lowered the idle, thinking that it would put out less emissions. It didn't, but the good thing is that I can idle at 500rpm, and it's smooth! Even with an AWR solid front mount, filled other mounts, and a torque strut
I haven't noticed a difference with the exhaust, but I think the velocity is about the same, or less, since I have the big Cat in, and it isn't wrapped, like the last one (yet), and I've been screwing with the maps for emissions.
I got the adjustable timing cams, so hopefully I can put the rest of the power adders in soon!

Re: fowljesse's GS/SE DE/ZE ;)
Did you remove your smog pump? If not, what's to prevent you from pumping EXTRA air into the exhaust?
(I don't know much about emissions, especially since I live in a state without emissions checks, but I always thought the manufacturers' claim that the pumps are designed to assist the catalytic converter to be a bit fishy)

Re: fowljesse's GS/SE DE/ZE ;)
I passed! All I needed was the right size C at, and some Acetone. Also, I forgot to check the spark plug gap when I bought new ones. They were at .04 so I opened them up to about .05. Tonight, I'm putting in the MSD 6A I got a while ago.

Re: fowljesse's GS/SE DE/ZE ;)
Thanks! I'm going to drive without [as much] nervousness about being pulled over!
Also, I'm going to sell my stock GS
It's not in celebration, but I need to sell some cars. It has been the most reliable car I've owned, and got me into this scene, which got me my fast car, and new friends.

Are you sure you'd want that?
She ain't pretty, but she's quick!
Soon she'll be a rev-Monkey!
I can't imagine what she'll feel like when I put in:
Fidanza flywheel
Unorthodox underdrive pulley
Colt 210 cams
She'll rev like a Formula1 car
The downside is that she's close to being hard to drive in traffic. She's already touchy with the throttle. In rush hour, I have to leave room in front of me, because she screams through first, even with me being very careful, and even with new Kumho Ecsta tires, and heavy 17" rims, she tries to spin the front tire. Soon, the LSD will help with that, but then I'll take off, instead of spinning. I'll probably have to use launch control daily
Come to thinnk of it, the Colt cams are supposed to push the powerband higher, so that might help.
