running on acetone

[LETZRIDE]

Who has run there car on Acetone to pass the emissions sniffer?

I need to pass the sniffer test to get my on the road this year, and I know for a fact it won't pass idle with the cam that is in it.

I have heard that you can run little gas in the tank and like a gallon or so of acetone in the car to make it run like absolute sh*t, but pass emissions. Before I just start throwing random things in my car and possibly doing damage, who has experience with this? What do I need to know?

Re: running on acetone

I've read about people using acetone, but its usually about a liter to a full tank of gas. Might be worth a try. I'll be doing my smog test this month but the cam isn't going in till April. I won't have to worry about it for a couple of years. By then they might actually scrap the whole thing like B.C. did. Fingers crossed.

Mike I think you mean methyl hydrate.

Ive heard both...I don't know the difference, but if you or anyone has experience with either one I would love to know about it. Car will likely be pulled out of storage within the next 2 weeks and needs to be emissions tested before I can get my sticker (current one is now expired)

I have heard of people doing it but I have never tried it.

I need to get mine done to.

Mine gets the OBD2 port,I already know she fails the old test I think the new one will be a breeze.

Re: running on acetone

Thanks for the offer Mike but I will need to send it back to Frost for a retune for my LS2 injectors anyway so I can have him fix it then if it doesn't pass.

Re: running on acetone

BTW do you need a cat? I have an LT1 style cat laying around.

Re: running on acetone

sorry I got tied up. I have a new cat sitting in my trunk so no I don't...thanks though.

New question since I'd like to get the car out and start testing stuff Tuesday, can I safely run the car with 1-2 less injectors and just pull the plug on those cylinders? or do I risk running stupid lean on those cylinders and chipping a piston?

The 02's will just command more fuel.

You probably won't pass anyway,CTC would do a repair on my LT1 for $250.00/$300.00 and give me a conditional.

I had them change my injectors one time and put in new Bosch 02's another time.
I had that POS for 13 years and it never passed:(
