new zetec emissions

[xBooglex]

Hi, Anyone know if there is potential probs with using a brand new 2.0L zetec/throttle bodies combination for iva emissions? this is my ultimate goal and dont really want to fit one engine to only have to remove it again after iva!
Many thanks

Personally I think it might be a bit of a struggle to get it through as you will have to meet current emissions limits, which use injection, cat etc.

I have been trying to find an older pre Aug 1995 2.0zetec for this reason, as emissions are alot more relaxed for this age of engine on IVA. However it is proving difficult to find one.

So if I am incorrect in what I say, it would be a damned sight easier to find a newer blacktop!

im using a 2.0l zetec injecion with a plenum chamber on omex ecu. i will put an ultra lean map into the ecu to get it though IVA and then soon as its passed will give it a proper map.
I will be using a cat and a oxygen sensor wired to the omex management

if its got a cat and mapped properly it will pass, i dont understand all this faffing about emissions, if the engine has been mapped properly it should pass emissions and be perfectly drivable especially with efi.

unless you got a buggerd engine with hc's through the roof!

I think the issue is when people dont want to use the original injection system or cat. Otherwise it would be the same as the standard car and therefore it should pass any emissions test. The concern is will people be able to pass emissions even if they run it lean just for IVA.
I think for the guys who have not gone through an IVA inspection before it is daunting and a real concern, hence the questions (or faffing?) on the forum.
