I don't know the Ont. rules, but I think the emissions testing is based on the year of the engine. I wouldn't really sweat running cats, they don't take up much room and you can still make gobs of power. biggrin

If your using a "used" engine then it "has' to "EVERYTHING" that came with that year of engine for what it was in, if you buy a "NEW" crate engine from GM then NO GO FIGURE!!!!

Here in PEI cats are not required on vehicles older than 1989. Move out here. There's still lots of room!

 I would check the regulation myself, I disagree with Pete's interpretation. Regulation 361/98 Environmental Protection Act.

The Act takes the position that a crate engine is not intended to be roadworthy in which case no emission equipment is needed. If it is to be used on the road then it becomes a different story imo.

Sorry, all this emissions testing etc is foreign to me. Do they do annual tests, or random roadside tests, or how is this enforced? I think I've seen the answer to this here when it was discussed in the past but I don't recall.

Is it the cost or the hassle that makes you not want to do the cats on to make it legal?

I just think if a car never came with all this crap,you shouldn't have to put it on now.

Agreed. A stock LS without cats probably runs cleaner than the original engine ever would.

This is from my own "For What its worth File". We all know it is a indisputable fact that an internal combustion engine emits dangerous pollutants to the atmosphere, that's a fact.

Logic dictates that the more internal combustion engine there are then the more dangerous pollutants being emitted into the atmosphere. 

 

Vehicle registration in PEI = 111,425

 

Vehicle registration in MB = 1,069,024

 

Vehicle registration in Ontario = 11,263,085

Could you go dual ownership and register out of province with someone you trust? Maybe a relative? or just remove cats after passes.

 ... and there is only a population of 137,000 people on PEI.

Factor in how many vehicles on PEI roads aren't even registered (I know there are many of them).

I don't understand your post Ray. Why should an old car with a newer motor have to have pollution controls? I agree that new cars that are driven several thousand KM's a year should have them but I don't understand the MOE's logic about older cars having to have the pollution controls that came on the newer engine.

 That makes too much sense. Old cars that get driven maybe 5000 kms a year.confuse

So in other words we can put in an old worn out "stock" motor that smokes like an SOB and that's OK, but put in a 2000 LS with o2 sensors without cats that put out 1/10th the emissions of original motor but may not pass testing? Yup makes a lot of sense! I would think that as long as the motor met or surpassed orig equipment they would be happy?

The Statistics show that Pollution from internal combustion powered vehicles is a serious problem in Ontario and maybe not an issue in PEI.  I understand the logic,  the engine is what pollutes so the engine with its equipment installed should conform to the standards in place for the year when the engine was manufactured. Making exceptions for this or that is a slippery slope.
