Emissions w/ turbo, failed emissions... need help Options

[elvasoshexai]

Hi all,

so this is the first time i've done emissions (ontario canada) since i turboed my car and apparently i did not pass emissions.

i have a magnaflow hi-flo cat, i replaced spark plugs/wires < 1000km, fresh tank of 94 octane...

here are my results:

..................40km/h......................curb idle........
............limit....reading..result..limit..reading..result
HC ppm..66........111.....fail.....150....100....pass
CO%......0.37....0.18....pass...0.7......0.22..pass
NO ppm..0505......5.......pass............................
.............rpm.......2075..valid..rpm.....789...valid
...........dilution..13.26..valid..dilution..14.20..valid


does anybody have any ideas how to correct this? is it a simple adjustment on the emanage ultimate? is there a way to measure it to make sure you pass before i retest?

i don't want to end up, retesting, failing again, fixing something else, retesting again, fail, etc etc etc... as it will get $$$ fast

any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Simple suggestion and one that is often overlooked when HC is high and the other readings are acceptable: make sure your converter is hot. Drive the car around for half an hour, roll it on the freeway for sustained high speeds.

The other usual suspect in high HC is your ignition system. Consider cap and rotor replacement, or at least cleaning. Check your spark plug condition; see if there's an oil leak which could foul them, or if they're wet with unburnt fuel to point to another issue. And of course an oil change never hurts.
