Harry Flatters Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm talking sphericals here. As far as I know provided the car is pre-SVA then the cat can be discarded (with a bit of re-tuning) in favour of a normal 4-->1 or 4-->2-->1 system. My '95 VX originally had a cat but there ain't one there now and it's been thru MOT 3 times with no problems. If you need to discuss VX's, you can try me on 020 8642 0162 (office).

Nick Woods Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Strictly speaking it needs to be kit-built to get through an MOT without an emissions test, although a lot of MOT testers dont know that unless you tell them . It will have to say 'kit built' on the reg document as well and they'll need to see it for proof. If its not kit-built then there will be a set of emissions limits it has to meet (they have a bl**dy great book with them all in) and you may or may not be able to acheive this without a cat. Anyway, I thought you needed injection for catalysts so that the fuel flow can be moderated properly although I'm quite prepared to be proved wrong on this. Nick P8MRA - The green one with red wings.
