Default Finally, Greddy! SOHC VTEC Turbo Kit is Cali legal.

Per the california air resources board, Greddy has a CARB EO#
EO: D-397-7
EO Date: 2/8/2001
Manufacturer Name: Greddy Performance Products, Inc.
Device: Turbocharger Kit
Device Type: Turbocharger System/ Turbocharger Modification
1993-2000 Acura Integra GSR
1990-2000 Acura Integra GS, LS
1990-1997 Acura Integra RS
1997-2000 Acura Integra Type R
1999-2000 Honda Civic Si Coupe
1998-2000 Honda CRV
1996-2000 Honda Civic EX/Si

Here is the PDF with all the details:
http://arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermkt/devices/eo/D-397-7.pdf

Here is the kit on the Greddy website:
Part Number: 11550050
Model: Civic EX 1996 - 2000
Desc: TD04H-19T
Notes: includes: emanage, 4x 3100cc injectors, cast-iron manifold, down pipe adapter, air intake, piping & all the necessary hardware.

http://www.greddy.com/products/product_detail.asp?catidx=3&catname=Turbochargers& prodtype=16&prodtypename=Turbo%20Kits%20(Bolt-on)&productidx=22

Now, we gotta find an intercooler that is approved to go along with it!

Edelbrock is still a more complete kit than this. (BOV, Intake Manifold, and FMIC)

This is true, and that is why I put that Edelbrock shot in there.

However, get the turbo kit, go to a Ref, get legal, and then install the FMIC and BOV. Most smog guys just want to see that you have been to the ref.

Greddy was only legal for the 92-95 if you had the "Black box" not the blue box (the one they now use)

It was never legal for the 96-00 Civics.

Yes, Apexi is still illegal.
Yes, Edelbrock is legal.

Hmmm, guess it's time to start saving for another GReddy kit. I used to run their Z6 kit on my Y8 and was always worried I'd get pulled over and sent to the ref. Didn't want to go through all the hassle. But it's good to hear they finally came out with a 50-state 6G kit. They should've tried harder to make it more complete and 50-state like the Edelbrock, though. If I had to choose now, I'd choose Edelbrock over GReddy.

damn.... greddy kit still isnt legal for 93-97 del sol motors =P

if you read thru the executive order, they can recind the exemption if they develop new tests that show that the kit adversely affects the emissions of the engine on different tests

&lt;MUSIC&gt; Reading rainbow, reading rainbow...I can do anything&lt;MUSIC&gt;

So will it pass emissions with the added hardware of the FMIC and BOV?

Yes and Yes.

As long as you get smog legal equipment for the engine your good to go.

So you could actually have a GSR-T in a CRX and be completely legal!

do the refs actually check to make sure you have the greddy kit? or do they just look at the carb sticker? never been to a smog ref before.

I could have sworn that BOVs that vented to the atmosphere were illegal in California. Does the Edelbrock kit's BOV vent to the intake?
