oh yeah, sir gonzaldp, could you also post the test results of your car last year, before you put khaos?

[muffer]

como sentido lng mga bro na bakit ang mga hapon, kano at aleman na sobrang dunong na eh di nila naisip yang Khaos, akala ng iba na makaktipid sila sa gas, di nila alam epekto nito sa engine nila, eh di warak. sus ginuo!

[al_motor]

ano na nangyari dito? diba ngayon yung open forum?

[ghosthunter]

dunno... i didn't go today.

Here's something found on the Khaos sales brochure I picked up at the KHAOS*METROWALK event. (its also found in the khaos' FAQ page)


Has KSTC been tested abroad?

Ans. Yes. KSTC has been tested by reputable authorities abroad. These include Vipac Engineers & Scientists Ltd., Approved Research Organization ( Melbourne , Australia ) which tested KSTC in accordance with ADR 79/01 & ADR 81/01; and Automotive Research and Testing Center ( Taiwan ) which followed Taiwan EPA regulations. All tests showed substantial fuel savings and big drops in carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon levels when KSTC was used.


I don't know about the Australian test results but here's my take on their Taiwan test claim.

-----------------

From a document released by Ford Motor Company in July 27, 2001 titled: Vehicle Emissions Standard Around the Globe, written by Nancy L. Homeister...

... In the Aisia-Pacific region, Taiwan stands out as one of the few countries which require US-based emissions standards. Countries such as Australia, and Hong Kong, which currently allow either US or EU based compliance are moving to EU-only.

-----------------

The Taiwan ARTC (Automotive Research & Testing Center) test results for KSTC was dated on July 14, 2004.

To summarize the test results:

ARTC Results:
CO: 7.85 grams/km
NMHC: 1.076 grams/km
NOx: 3.04 grams/km

And then compare those with these numbers....

US Federal Certification Exhaust Emissions Standards
February 2000 (maximum allowed values)
CO: 2.11 grams/km
NMHC: 0.211 grams/km
NOx: 0.62 grams/km


I can conclude that the KSTC failed the Taiwan emissions tests.

I kinda did a double take on the wordings (above) used by Inventionhaus. Please note the words in red. How does an emissions test done ONCE conclude big drops in CO and HC emissions levels. At the same time, how did that test show fuel savings at all?

Pinaghanap ka ko... (Ang lagay eh...nakukuha siguro sa tsikot sticker yan) Pero seriously Sir Nugundam, we are talking about a piece of paper that was generated late 2003. I did an exhaustive search of the glove compartment and the trunk pero no luck eh. If I do happen to find it, I will certainly be more than happy to post it.

I also email Gov. Arnold to verify his "alleged" meeting with Mr. Planas. Pag nag-respond post ko din dito.

I guess Arnie told Planas, "I'll be back!"
