Don't diy
Asked by Steve Cook
I read with interest your comments to Ray Exell. I too am rebuilding a car, a VK Calais with a fuel-injected six for my daughter and plan to convert it to unleaded. I will be having the cylinder head reconfigured to take unleaded fuel, but what are your views on fitting a catalytic converter? I believe every car that runs unleaded should at least use a catalytic converter as the unleaded exhaust gases are worse for the environment.
Answered by CarsGuide
12 Dec 2003I wouldn't recommend fitting a catalytic converter as I doubt you could get it working. There's a lot more to fitting a converter than installing it in the exhaust system. Making it work effectively is a development exercise in itself, and one I would suggest isn't worth attempting. At least you know that by running unleaded in your car you're not pumping lead into the atmosphere.
