HELP!! - Coolant Overflow filling up and not returning - WTF?

[IV73CI]

Lol lovin it!

[Lukezen27]

now now girls

But man Engineering is not as simple as people think!

I've been through Engineering twice and emissions testing 7 times and only passed once hahah

Simple guide to passing after all I've dealt with

For emission (free just need to book)
Run stock ECU for the motor you'll installed (no tune)
Run stock cat and exhaust
Run stock 02 sensor
Run E85

I've tried the retune, detune route without luck!

Engineering ($800 to $1200)
Main thing is good brake upgrade
keep the rest of the car stock IMO including real air box and not stupid pod

Most peole do it wrong by moding the hell of their car and power tuning the new motor coze they can't wait

[Chr1s]

I'm still struggling...

A "power tune" shouldn't affect your emissions testing result as the driver is never really 100% throttle and high enough RPMs (for us to even get into vtec too), even if the tuner has opted for max power at cruising conditions, the fuelling won't be anywhere near ~12.8:1. (assuming peak energy mixture for gasoline)

What were the reasons for being knocked back with cat/exhaust, etc etc?

now thats exactly the answer i wanted.

so your saying running a base map with supporting stock parts installed - then it shouldnt be an issue.

excellent to ALL who shared their experiences.

-1 except for those who posted trolling pics rather than helpful info .. LOL

Anyways emissions

so many fails

Mostly they said cat/exhaust would be the likely reason or cheap 02 sensor

Correct but stock cat/exhaust and 02 sensor is a must

I bet you that if you turn up there with aftermarket exhaust, intake and the stock ecu, you will fail.

IVTECI - You're obviously best mates with BYP, why don't you get them to tune the car before you go to EPA? simple!

Yup

you need max cat flash with the added displacement to pass emissons and nothings better than OEM

Mine was added power being turbo but its the same thing

Thats what i was thinking. Put base tune and see what the emission gasses puts out. Then if all passed, then power tune as planned.

Should still work with all the mods n crap on?

Max cat flash?? Wtf is dat?? Lol

U mean a higher CEL rating cat?

[Lukezen27]

means the cat getts hot enough to burn off the extra crap!

most aftermarked high flow units don't accomplish this

[IV73CI]

So how does one get or achieve this max cat flash??

Sorry noob to the above

Sorry noob to the above

its the quality of the OEM units and the size also makes a difference

hence why I said to use stock cat and exhaust
