Hobert,
Spoke with your wife the other day. She mentioned some difficulties your were having with the shortened oil pans. Any idea when they might become available? Checked out Roadcows web page. The one he has looked great.

The reason we tested so many catalytic converters while putting together our
kits is the fact that the original Subaru engine has two catalytic
converters. The NOx has always been a problem. Our CARB exemption is not
valid without our catalytic converter, you would not have been allowed to
run the test in California and it would have failed by a very large margin.

Hello SubaVolks
I took my van to be inspected today and failed the mass enhanced
emissions
test! Boy was I surprised because the suby engine runs and smells so much
nicer than the VW engine. The test was run as if the engine was the VW
waterboxer. The emissions are read with the van driven at speed on a
dynamometer.
HC was 2.37 with a limit of 8.25
CO was 51.38 with a limit of 94.36
CO2 was 753.49
NOx was 10.45 with a limit of 9.27!
I'm running the original VW exhaust components (cat and muffler). I
suspect
the Cat is bad.
I haven't hooked up the test light to read out the ECU error codes yet. I
plan to do this later today or tomorrow.
Can anyone tell me what typical readings should be for this engine using
the
VW exhaust?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Gary
