CA maallowable emissions #s

Anybody have their cert. from a recent smog? Reason is the smog guy at the shop put it in the comp. as a 1991 gmc s-15, but i don't know if those selections plus motor size (4.3mpi turbo wasn't an option) determines the max. allow emissions or if it's done based on vin #, but I want to make sure the comp. knows it's testing a syclone and not some 2.2l p/u.

It done off the Vin # that why they scan the scan the Vehicle Registration form that DMV sent you. If I can find my last one, I will post the Numbers for you.

Re: CA maallowable emissions #s

same concern here.
I have a hard time passing the the epa regulated clean air program.
Everytime my printout says Jimmy and I question if it was tested as a N/A 4.3 or a turbo and nowhere can they find it.
They do enter your VIN and state registration into the system so it might be in there.
Here they run on an AWD dyno just like real world driving, with no tie downs.
Free ballin it at 50 mph.
Here's a scan of one of my failed cert's.

HC and NOx off the charts.
I eventually passed on 87 octane, 34psi fuel press, new plugs, new pcv, new egr, new ign module, no ic pump, 195 thermo, and I think the sniffer fell out of the pipe but I wasn't telling anyone.
I hate the sniffer :tdown:
