I think it's 25 years for all cars in any state that require emissions. Don't quote me on that though.

I am probably making (hopefully) 140-150 rwhp, and I will not pass.

Hopefully with a tune I will make more power. Lean out above 5k OH YEAH!

Find a hookup, that's your only chance! (note sarcasm)

 

I actually discovered a clause (at least in Texas) that states that if your car is operating in a county that has emissions and is registered in an adjacent county, then they can make you get emissions tested.

 

Just pay the fine and tell them to stick the sniffer up their ***. DMV will not withhold registration in this case and that is all that matters.

 

hey rx heven....south lake dosnt have smog??? how does that work...if so i have a friend up there also....400hp here i come

 

Smog cut off is 1974 for Cali.... thanks to The govenator.. No more 30 year rule.
And I think its 40 years for Navada, unless only driven 2k miles a year.

 

if you are on stock port... you will pass either way with a cat...
that is your answer
if you cant accepted that... you got issues...

 

do u still have ur stock ports?

 

Yep, still stock ports.

 

You are an idiot..

 

hahahahha

 

you guys need to move here to nz, we have no emissions standards at all

 

haha i would LOVE to

 

prove me wrong

oh wait, you cant!

 

200rwhp, fully smog legal, all emissions in place and will pass visual inspection.

s5 tII

 

lol! I have seen plenty of stock ports with cats fail. Just because you have a cat doesnt garantee you will pass emissions.

 

that is not correct.

A cat is simply one part of cleaning the exhaust and lowering emissions.

You could be just missing a EGR valve on a S4 and have high enough NOx not to pass even with a cat.

Or you could have a clogged air filter and old spark plugs and not pass with an otherwise intact and functioning emissions system (which would show up as too much CO, and HC).

^^agreed if passing an e-test on a car with stock ports was as simple as bolting up a new cat (which IS very helpful, and in most cases entirely necessary don't get me wrong) then there wouldn't be so many guys failing.

fact is there are far more variables to passing an etest then the condition (or simply presence) of a catalytic convertor

 

i am talking about a properly FUNCTIONING car... (but i AM arguing with someone whose's car doesnt even run...)
since when did hp affect egr valve?
his question was, how much hp can be had before emission becomes a problem
and my answer was, as much power as you can make out of the stock ports
the most important thing being the stock port and having a cat converter rather than a test pipe.

re-read the title and first post. there is no reason why egr or other factors should be brought up. unless you are suggesting high hp and boost kills the egr valve... then take one off a ls1

 

I'm making about 150RWHP with all emissions equipment removed.

....they don't test us in florida, evar

 

To those of you who have no emmissions testing...I HATE YOU ALL.

 

+1

 

Yep. It sure doesnt. You know why? Because since I already have the T-61, the manifold and the wastegate, I decided to go with a V-Mount configuration. These things take time, so it will probably be a month of so before the car is back again. But hey! Dont hate on the numbers I already made, because this new setup will crush 400 hp.

1. 172 all motor

2. hell no, but we don't have emissions anymore for any cars that aren't OBD II. Sniffers are now gone as of 1st of the the year

 

^Lucky bastard!! Still Praying.
