Emission Control

[Chet]

Ive looked through the forums and couldnt find anything detailing this except for this diagram:

 

anywhoo... the emission control in the ke55's, once removed how much extra power does it add

and what are the pros and cons once removed for the car (and environment)

I'm asking because several people have removed this and told me to

but i don't exactly know alot about it,

they say it adds approx 30% more power but would the lack

of emission control make it defectable?

your thoughts would be appreciated.

Lack of emission control will yes. But if you stick ball bearings in the tubes you need to block off, no-one will be the wiser. :lol:

ok, ball bearings hey?

does it give you much extra power to brag about though?

don't know if its worth it, i suppose i can try

but which tubes would i need to block?

My KE30 has a stock 4K in it, without the emission control. I think the 4K came out of a KE55, but it is using the 3K carburettor.

 

I had a test drive of a KE55 sedan, in which the owner reckons they just had the engine rebuilt.

It had less acceleration than my KE30 (less throttle reponse); it felt like something was holding it back a little.

 

Maybe there were other factors, but I was tending towards the emission control for the change in performace.
