just found out today i have to pass emissions by january to renew my tags. im in GA so we dont have inspection like cali. i just need to pass the SNIFFER. lol. my setup is below:
b18c1 with drag turbo.
FULLY TUNED HONDATA s200w/boost with air fuel ration inbetween 11-12 to 1
Jackson racing high flow CAT with 2.25 in exhaust all teh way back and 2.5 in down pipe.

you guys thnk ill pass the SNIFFER?

probably not with it having such a rich A/F ratio. If you have an adjustable fuel regulator you should turn it down before the test and try to lean it out a little. Turbo chargers can actually help to clean emmisions so its probably just gonna take a little less fuel to do it.

**** i dont havew a adjustable fule pressure regulator. im using stock one with hondata. when i had VAFC before i could lean out fule easily but with hondata i cant do it. since i dont have the laptop with the program on it lol

if atl is as strict as cali then no. I dont see why if you not running rich in idle and have a cat that you wouldnt pass. turn your fpr if you have one.

i dont think im running really that rich but i guess wll see soon. im not sure if ga is as strict as cali. i just no that in GA they dont care about C.A.R.B numbers and stuf liek that. and they dont care about motors and turbos. u just have to pass the sniffer. i hope that i can do that

Good thing you said that. Because I have to get my tags in Feb. Oh no not the sniffer!

they dont do full thorttle runs right? what we do when i get my car tuned is i will tune for like low 14's out of boost and low 12's in boost, im sure they wont boost it when testing it ? i dunno though, i will be in the same predicament soon .

Nextelbuddy

no they dont. they do like steady increase from idel to aobut 2-4k rpms and then they just keep the foot on the gas at about 3-4k rpms. and then the test finishes. the longer the test lasts the more chance u have at failing. lol if its over quickly then u now u are probably going to pass.

im going to test this weekend. my friend can help me out sshhh dont tell anyone. i wont tell any names or tell anyone who it is or where its at. but all he will do for me is let me run my car in test mode first. its the saem as the real test just does not print a certificate and does not transmit to the state electronically. if it passes there then we know it will pas the real thing. thats what we did on my JDM ITR swap. if it doest pass. ill figure something else out. i like to pass legally. i dont want to get anyone in trouble

I dunno about other states.
But in massachusetts, the sniffers used here were PROVEN not to work at all.
They pass cars that should have failed. Fail cars that should have passed.
They have very poor accuracy. If I failed here I would just slip the guy a couple of $20's since the test is meaningless.
