Mandatory preregistration emission tests start Oct. 1 in NCR

[Doc Diesel]

FYI People!

Effective October 1, 2002, vehicles in the National Capital Region are required to pass emission tests for registration. Tests will start on vehicles with registrations ending in zero (0). There are now 32 accredited/authorized private emission test center lanes in the NCR plus 12 LTO mobile emission testers available.

hay salamat naman, atleast hindi na sa kalye tapos todo tapak sa accelerator,

[OTEP]

Siguro naman pati de-gasolina kasali na diyan. Masyado nang dehado ang mga diesel peeps, eh.

Pero baka naman 'nabibili' ang test na iyan...

[fierari]

patay tayo jan eh kahit anong gawin mo uusok diesel eh. pano ba standards nyan?

[mbt]

i'll have to reserve applause...

and wait and see if jeepneys and buses comply with these regulations :?

[Leon275]

meron na bang inimplement ang LTO na hindi nabibili.:?:?:?

[papa tots]

just as long as there's no corruption, ok to.

[pajerokid]

hay nako..... another layer of corruption to deal with.........

Diesel peeps! Kaya natin pumasa dyan...

I had my diesel ride checked last April'02... My ride is a fuego. I follow the periodic maintenace schedules and always take my ride on long trips. I even use sythetic oils. Pero bumagsak pa rin ako. The secret to passing the test is to have your exhaust system steam washed before the test. You just can't remove accumulated carbon (from traffic, short trips) by just going on a long haul. I passed the test with a really low emmission score of .90...

Most gasolines stations have this washer. I had my test at LTO Pasay near the Domestic Airport. Had the exhaust steam wash at the Caltex Park n Fly at the corner at about P300.

Normally aspirated diesel engine passing mark = below 2.5
Turbocharged diesel engines = below 3.5

Hindi na ako naglagay, malinis pa exhaust ko :mrgreen:

[Dakila7]

ser Zhero,

paano nila ginagawa yung test? and gaano katagal?

[Zhero]

Dakila7,

Actual test takes less than 10 minutes. I'm not too familiar with the machine they use. They would clip on a probe at the tip of your exhaust and rev your vehicle up to 3K rpm. They do this 5 times. A print out comes out of the machine that shows your score on the 5 reps.

[kimpOy]

3K RPM??? hmmm ma try ko nga...
sana yung machine hindi corrupt :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

[Zhero]

KimpOy,

Mataas ba yun o mababa...yung rpm?:roll:

[Dakila7]

ser Zhero,

10 minutes, mabilis naman pala eh... 3k-rpm 5 times, I believe for diesels that is on the high side.

ser kimpOy,

check muna natin yung machine kung may bulsa... :wink:

hehehe!!:lol:

[Zhero]

sir Dakila7, i think mabait pa yun mga nagtest sa akin. Yung ibang napansin ko last year sumisigaw na diesel engines nila eh

[pajerokid]

kim, dakila, zhero:

my 2 cents... 3000rpm in a diesel medyo mataas na yon! ang maganda is if you rev SLOWLY to that engine speed. Alam nyo naman na ang usok sa diesel ay galing sa UNBURNT FUEL.... assuming na walang ibang prublema sa makina nyo.

Here's my advice.... at the cost of the longevity of your mufflers, but not by much..... magpalagay kayo nung pinalagay ko. I bought a 1/2" nipple from a hardware store and welded it to my exhaust pipe, just after the exhaust manifold, in the engine bay. Before any emissions test, lagyan nyo ng detergent solution (some use liquid sosa) and then start the engine! Lahat ng carbon deposit tanggal after 6 or 8 "flushes". Pare sigurado ang linis. You can smell the difference, and of course... no visible black smoke!

The nipple costs 50 bucks. Then buy yung pang takip... 25 pesos, pa install nyo sa isang muffler shop... 150+. So for less than 300, meron na kayong pang flush ng tambutso!!!!!


Downside.... water will make its way to the muffler.... mas maaga kakalawangin. So what? youre bound to replace that thing anyway!:D

[Zhero]

Pajerokid, clarification lang... yung nagrev po ng sasakyan sila nde po ako. tnx

[OTEP]

Hindi ba nakakabit yung turbocharger sa exhaust manifold? Saan mo nilagay yung 'gripo' mo? Ayoko kasi ng masyadong mababa, eh. Baka ma-compromise water fording capability. hehehe. Saka baka kalawangin yung added plumbing.

[Doc Diesel]

Peeps,
If you have PDI last October 8, 2002 try to look into the Classifieds section page B9 and you will see a DOTC announcement of the Smoke Emission Testing and a small list of Private Emission Testing Centers or PETC.

Apparently our shop is not yet accredited due to government eck eck....you know what I mean.

Passing rates:
Non turbo: 2.5 below
Turbo: 3.5 below

I can email you the test procedure if you want. Drop me an email.

Dr Diesel,

Just to make everybody aware, including myself, how high is the minimum rpm for the test??

Thanks:wink:
