Just curious about you single turbo guys, has anyone passed NJ emissions with a single turbo kit? Is this possible without leaning out the car?

 

lol i just get my stickers through connections.

I havent been to an inspection station since i first got a car in 1999. Haha

 

yeah, I've got a connection as well in case I need it though, right now my car will pass on the legit, still got the twins. Just curious though.

 

The short answer is no, most states with emissions testing like MD and NJ have a visual inspection and most single conversions require removal of smog equipment which would cause you to fail the visual portion of the inspection. I suggest you use your connection and avoid the headache. Or...

In maryland you can get a waiver if you've had 450 dollars in work done to the engine/EFI/turbo/exhaust up to and including the catalytic converter.

So the price of your new turbo or a rebuild receipt, new fuel system... etc. would get you a waiver. I used the price of an engine rebuild last time and it got me through with a waiver.

 

i put my rx7 with ls1 on collector car registration in nj.
that means 3000 miles per year, checked every other year.
no emissions testing. cha ching.

 

But with collector car registration, you need collector car's insurance right?

Which one did you go with? Hagerty?

 

yep. i think its $700 per year for $30k replacement value.

 

what happens if they check it and its off?

 

sorry dude. no idea. i guess they would fail you and make you get normal inspection which means normal emissions testing.
