Lmackattack Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 videoI figured I would have a little fun on sunday. I was cleaning up the dash a little and adding some switches for the light bar and back up lights. I was pulling some cut air lines and wires and got a "great" idea...I unhoked the air line to puff limiter from the dash valve and re routed it thru a unused air switch located on the dash. now I can do a smoke show and pass emissions at the flick of a switch video here videoyes.... im a little nuts Trent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubbamobilin Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 How does this work?! I've got an E9 that failed the emissions test last year in NJ(haven't been back since). Puff limiter has long since been removed. Is there anything I can do to make this rompin stompin V8 pass emissions without cutting the fuel or power?

Lmackattack Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 the puff limiter, as recently explained, to me simply delays the fuel flow to the injectors to allow the turbo spool up. with it removed when you mash the peadal it opens the rack 100% dumping excess fuel that does not get fully used as the turbo is not spooling.. To pass emissions I would hook up the puff limiter and see if that helps. if thats still not enough, set the engine kill cable to where the truck will run but cant flow 100% fuel.... last time I took a truck to an emission test(2 years ago?) we did this just incase it would not pass LOL... you can still get 2100RPM with no load.. after you pass re adjust the engine stop and you will be ok....that if they dont check the linkages just a FYI a mack mech told me the driving the truck with no puff limiter can cause the fuel to wash the oil off the cyl walls causing extra wear and it also will mix into the oil.smoke is cool..... but dont F up the engine over itGood luckTrent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
