my friends got a 98' v6 coupe and his is a LEV (low emissions vechical ) while mines a 2001 v6 coupe (Ultra LEV) does he have better performance than me cuz of my more restrictive motor/ exhaust?? Any ideas??

 

[omgitsroy326]

ULEV does slow your car down.

 

[divinewisdom]

no he doesnt have better performance. his 200hp is not faster then yoru 200 hp.
you have the newer car, better techonolgy achieving the same result with lower emissions.

Actually ULEV cars won't response to mods as well as LEV cars!

 

[omgitsroy326]

are you serious bachviet. That really sucks. So all the mods i have ... the little that i have.... are just a waste. I wasted my time and money?

 

[bachviet]

I think ULEV cars gain less but not noticeable with I/H/E... That's why you always see 98-99 AV6s have better time than 2K+ but it is also because of direct ignition!

 

[munkeysoup]

arent ulev cars only sold in cali? when did they change the v6 to ulev?

 

[SteVTEC]

01 Accord V6's are LEV, not ULEV.

Accord 4-cyl's are either LEV (150 HP) or ULEV (148 HP) depending on where you live, and there's one version in Cali that's SULEV (4-cyl EX-L auto only, 145 HP)

The stricter emission control models don't seem to respond to mods as well as the less strict models.

huh...thats strange. where do you live? because i know mine is LEV and its a '00.

 

[SteVTEC]

which honda webpage would this be? Got a link?

It's probably a typo...

 

[Importeck]

welll thats odd.. but i have a 2001 model but here is the link ..

ps.. i live in texas.. .

www.hondacars.com

 

[toekneelai]

That's for the 2002 model, not 2001. I know the 2001's V6's are all LEV. But maybe the 2002 V6's are ULEV? Can anybody with a 2k2 V6 confirm that? I need to stop by my local Honda dealership today for something else so I'll try to verify it.

that just seems kinda strange to me that they would change it w/ only one year left in the generation. you would think that if they were going to change it they would have done it either in '00 when they changed to DI or in '01 when they changed the exterior.

Marketing.

I believe the Altima V6 and the Camry V6 are all ULEV this year. Honda wouldn't want to look bad since it prides itself on meeting tougher emissions standards before any other car maker, but who knows. I'll check tonight.

I don't think the changes required to go from LEV to ULEV are all that complex.

ahhh, it makes sense now.

 

[SteVTEC]

I checked.

The 2002 Accord V6 is still LEV and not ULEV as stated on the hondacars.com website. That's a typo on the website I guess and it also blows a hole in my marketing theory but that's okay

it says Ultra low emission certified so im guessing its ULEV
