Since when do they do mandatory emissions testing in BC? Or anywhere in Canada for that matter? As far as i know, its entirely voluntary here. As long as your vehicle is legally registered for street in BC, you can take it anywhere in North America, whether they have emissions restrictions or not. My "ICBC accredited inspection agency" (ie, Canadian Tire) did not blink an eye to my 82 Camaro, blower, nitrous and all. As long as you can get an accredited mechanic to pass you in an inspection, you have nothing to worry about. They only check to make sure that everything that is installed is working correctly, they don't check to see if its been modified. And, why would you need an inspection anyway unless it has a wrecker title or you are bringing it in from out of province? If it already registered, you don't need an inspection. If you have to get an inspection before registering, just go get it passed before you build the stroker and then build away, they will never know the difference one way or the other.wascobi said:

I drove to the mountains over the weekend and the engine knocked almost constantly all the way up- also got a bit warmer than it has up till now (240-ish)- lean condition, perhaps? octane doesn't seem to matter- i've tried 87, 89, and 91. 91 seems to knock a little less than lower grades of gasoline. I am also running the Mopar performance computer.
I'm going to try the adjustable MAP route, but is there anything else I should try looking at as well? bad knock sensor perhaps? quit screwing around and get 30 lb/hr injectors?

Dammit! I knew it was coming, but i did not know it was here already! What the hell am i going to do with my 81 civic? From the looks of their website though, it seems like you only need to do it if you are relicensing, not just reinsuring. (transferring title, or registering by you for the first time) Is that the case with your rig? Also, it seems like they check your emissions, but compare them to all other vehicles that weigh the same with same motor displacement. They don't appear to compare them to other vehicles of the same make and model. Perhaps you might have a little leeway there? I feel for you brother. It won't be long before all the long-hairs on the island move that direction too.wascobi said:

I think advancing it another tooth will really mess things up. As it is now, WOT probably results in the worst knocking, at least until it gets past 2500 RPM or so, or until i let up off the gas pedal. Any load, uphill, or if it happens to lug in any gear gets me a nice can o' rocks sound.
