Double decat on NA and MOT (I know, I know)

[Stevo]

Tony, my NA has always passed with no cats and a HKS Hi-Power exhaust on. Usually take mine to Metro MOT near the Metro Centre:

 

Metro MOT Centre

Longrigg

Swalwell

Newcastle upon Tyne

Tyne and Wear

NE16 3AS

"One useful piece of advice which is probably the biggest is for you NA guys... So far, going by the emissions database, there is NO such thing as a NA supra. The database only lists a 2JZ-GTE engine, (for the mkiv) so all of you that are worried about having no cats fitted then don't! Yes you will fail the initial 'BETS' test but it follows into a full CAT test, in which a 2JZ-GE does NOT exist, as it wasn't a UK car, so this puts it into the category of being a 'non-listed' car, as such the 'default' limits are standing idle of 3.5% CO and 1200ppm HC. I have passed a certain members car, using these limits (no names given) and it is FAR from standard and it passes every time. As well as there is no rule stating you MUST have a cat fitted. If you can get your CO% to below 0.2/0.3% at 2.500-3000 rpm and HC to below 200ppm your fine!

Thanks Steve... I've got a lead off ugp for a "friendly" MOT chap but Metro is only a minute from mine. May give them a shot first

Cheers all, I'm pretty confident that I'll get through now without "cheating". AAS work is superb so I'm sure the high quality of workmanship will help.
