    if N0x failed it could be your exaust gas recirculating valve. the only thing it does is control you n0x levels. if that doesnt work. contact 350zftw

    Nice try but none of the B series Honda engines come with an EGR. Besides, even if it had EGR and it worked, the numbers would still be high. The main purpose of the EGR is to assist in reducing the NOx, not control it.

    The issue with this car would be the catalytic converter not oxidizing the way it should. How big is the converter/exhaust and is it still in the stock position?

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    the converter is from magnaflow which i ordered online and is universal:
    Inlet/Outlet Size: 2.5"
    Overall Length: 13"
    Body Length: 9"
    Width: 6 1/2"
    Height: 4"
    OBD 1 & 2 Approved!

    As for the the catback i got a skunk 2 mega power specifically for a 88-91 crx (d series)used. So i took it to muffler shop to get some flanges and get it custom since the header is from a b series and the catback is from a d series.

    The converter is too large for that engine as far as emissions go. If you can get it to pass with the same converter, it's gonna have to be from the lowest gear allowed. The cat isn't flowing enough gas from that 2.0L at those engine speeds for it to work properly. Your best bet is to retard the shit out of the timing and retry. If that don't work, you need to install a smaller converter, possibly a 2 inch converter, 2.25 max.

    But that is the same cat that i got that my friend recommended me. He also got a crx with a ls/vtec and he mange to pass his emission test..besides if its the cat wouldnt i fail the HC ppm and CO %?

    sorry. i dont know anything about honda motors. i just know that is why my Z wouldnt pass emissions. ive got headers, and the feed to the EGR valve was only from one cylinder when it needed to be from 3. there just wasnt enough pressure to open/close the valve. and 350zftw got my car to pass. hes really good with emissions stuff
