Emissions numbers 1986 3.2

[BernieP]

I just got back from the shop that did an emissions test on my 1985 911 3.2. It has 106000 miles on it and it passed with flying colors. Do these numbers look very low or are they in line with what others see.
CO% Idle-Limit 1.2 reading 0.14 2500 RPM-Limit 1.20 reading 0.10

HC ppm Idle limit-220 reading 38 2500 rpm-Limit 220 reading 27

I'm happy it passed but wow these numbers are low, car is completely stock as far as I know.

Thanks
Bernie

This shows how overly aggressive Porsche was with detuning these motors to meet emissions as it was their first time dealing with electronic fuel injection, and the uncertainty of how it would fare in the long run along with the unknown of what the rules were going to be with respect to future emissions standards.

Gotta have mine tested for new tabs next month; will be the last time, the car being 25 years old soon. It's an '86, but two years ago the readings barely registered. I couldn't believe how low they were. ...should paint the thing green.....
