As we all know the emissions in southern Ontario have gotten a little ridiculous in requirements.
They want the car scanned through the OBD2 port to check the systems to see if they are in the "Ready" position.
This means many miles of driving in city and highway use for a couple of days. Some say after getting work done on the car or after the battery is disconnected/drained the system is reset and it needs to be driven to have all the systems reading properly.
To the main topic. We mod and we want it to drive some what legal. So on the Duratec motors we have 2 O2 sensors, a EGR regulator and some system/device on the firewall that reads proper fuel quality IIRC...
The EGR regulator is off of the Head that is suppose to be blocked off when boost is added and is shut off with the rear O2 sensor when tuned.
I plan on Boosting my Duratec, clearly seen and heard in other posts. And I wish to have it run legal with smog regulations. Since there is no sniffer they are really just checking to see if the "Ready" systems are good to go and what the O2 sensors are reading.
Would I just get my normal performance high boosted tune for running the way I want to. Then get a tune with all the EGR's turned on and put a Heavy Catalytic Converter on in between the 2 O2 sensors.
Even though it would be tuned, does anyone think this will work or know that it will work??
