Catalytic Converter where to Buy?

[chuaed]

kagagaling ko lang kanina sa casa at pinatingin ko sasakyan ko dahil may kumakalansing at may minimal backfire na tunog sa exhaust pag nag rev...

sabi sa casa sira na catalytic converter at kailangan na palitan...

maliban sa casa, saan mayroon makabili ng catalytic conveter? magkano kaya aabutin (approx.)?

thanks.

Yong catalytic ay mga $2,495 plus tax at iba pa yong installation hindi ko alam kung magkano ang pakapit. Good luck, sana maayos mo na ang problema mo.

tatakbo auto mo ng walang converter.

tanggalin mo na lang.

question

wala bang smog testing sa philippines ?

[Gen1]

meron, pero mas mababa ang standards para sa older cars.

I removed my catalytic converter 3 years ago. my car has passed emission testing every time.

i haven't seen catalytic convereters for new below 1M peso cars, so it's a good assumption that the emissions standards are not stiff

Chuaed,

Is this for the Optra? If it is, just remove it. Run on lpg for emmissions test and you'll pass with flying colors. Like they said, your car will function without one.

Bambino,

Standards are low. How do you think all those smoke belching busses and jeepneys pass? Oh ibang paraan pala yun.

What's the purpose of a catalytic converter?

[[archie]]

^^ it reduces the harmful emissions produced by the engine. hindi ko lang sure paano. hahahaha :bwahaha:

[meledson]

^^^ Pag mainit na ang catalytic converter, it converts harmfull gasses to inert or safe gasses. Hence better emissions.

Some years ago I was able to buy a catalytic converter from NODALOS for my ride. Maybe you can check them out if they are still selling them.

[chuaed]

thanks ghost, try ko drop by kay Nodalos, mahal sobra pag sa dealership.

userfriendly, pag wala ako talaga mahanap siguro patangal ko nalang...
pag naka gasoline, mabaho amoy ng exhaust... pag LPG wala amoy

pano kaya nasira iyun catalytic converter? 50 thousand kilometers lang natakbo car ko...

Running a rich air-fuel ratio can melt a catalytic converter.

Mga paps same ng problem ko yan. Ok lang ba kahit sira yung cat converter o mas magandang ipatangal nlng yun. Thanks in advance.

What's the purpose of a catalytic converter?

There are two parts to the cat con. First, the reduction part where oxygen is freed from NOx(oxides of nitrogen) resulting in N2 and O2. The freed up O2 is then (second), oxidation catalyst, used to burn CO and unburnt fuel (HC) resulting to CO2 and H2O. What leaves the tail pipe are O2, CO2, N2 and H2O all of which are inert or non polluting except now CO2 is causing global warming

Napansin ko lately ang lakas ng tunog ng catalytic converter especially after turning the engine off. Palitin na ba?

Ticking sound? That's normal due to expansion and contraction of the materials. The cat gets pretty hot after a decent drive and when you shut down the engine, the materials begins to contract and makes those noises.

Sometimes, the CEL pops up if the cat has lost its effectiveness (ie. downstream O2 sensor is detecting elevated emissions), or if you hear broken honeycomb material rattling inside the can assembly while the engine is running.

yes sir, the ticking sound is a lot louder now.
