KLZE Etest: KVR Performance (Ottawa)

**BShark** · 6-6-09, 15:18

So as we know, it is very difficult to get a KLZE to pass the Ontario emissions test just straight up due to a lack of a functioning EGR. People have mentioned testing as hotrod.

KVR Performance Inc. here in Ottawa is a performance shop and they allow people to test their car as hotrod if there is an engine swap. You need to create an affidavit attesting that the engine installed is not native to a USDM vehicle.

Here is my original e-test results from a regular test centre:

KVR e-test results. I think the higher numbers are because I e-tested it straight out of storage, but wow is that a huge jump from the first e-test:

youngfan also had his KLZE MX-6 successfully e-tested at KVR. I hope this information helps you out.

Does that mean you figured out what your idling problem was?
I find it strange that they're allowing such a huge difference in test results. Effectively, they're making "hot rods" exempt from testing. I can understand the concept of making "show" cars with limited mileage an exemption; but not "daily driver" cars.

Oh well; congrats anyway on getting it through the test!

Yeah, found out what the idling problem was.

any idea if they will test your car as a hotrod if you turbocharge the stock motor?

Hmmm, no idea. They told me to specify that the motor is not available in a USDM vehicle
