New Pierburg air blower with speed-controlled motor for reduction of gasoline engine emissions

Green Car Congress

Secondary air systems are used to reduce gasoline engine emissions by accelerating catalytic converter heat-up. The latter allows secondary air injection across a much wider engine map range and hence, at any given point in time, the precise air mass required for accelerating converter heat-up is injected into the exhaust system.

Removing the Fuel and Exhaust Systems

Open Source Civic EV Kit

I spent most of this afternoon and evening removing the fuel tank and exhaust system. Since this part of the car wasn't steam cleaned like the engine compartment, I got complete covered in dirt and gasoline grime. I pried off the rubber rings holding the exhaust system to the car so I didn't have to cut them.
