In CA they have different limits for every car/engine.  The Delorean is in
the CA dabase as a 2.9 liter V6.

NO must be less than 1136 at 15mph and less than 966 at 25mph, at least for
my '81.

Hi

Do they have different standards for different engines? That would be 
strange. I've have never heard of that.... As far as I know (I might be 
wrong) the standard is the same regardless of engine size and number of 
cylinders. When I used to live in FL I went to get my emissions tested and I

asked them what the max numbers are. They were all the same for all cars. I 
can still remember those numbers :) NOx: 220ppm, CO: 1.20%. Here in Poland 
when I went to get the DeLorean tested they told me that the allowed limits 
are NOx:100 and CO: 0.50%. And I was pretty surprised when we tested the 
car. I got remarkable results. Even the guys at the testing station were 
surprised. When I did the test it was snowing outside with the temperature 
just below freezing. I drove the car only about 3 miles and it was NOT fully

warm. I've got NOx: 4 and CO: 0.00% This is what everyone should be getting.

The DeLorean is a VERY clean running car... if everything is working right.
