Skunk2 Racing has just wrapped up testing procedures on their Stage I B-series VTEC camshafts with the California Air Resource Board (CARB). In the upcoming weeks, an official CARB Exemption Order Number (CARB EO #) will be issued and decals made for the cams. The decal, to be placed in the engine bay, will alert all smog certification centers that the Skunk2 Racing Stage I B-series VTEC camshafts meet and comply with all emissions guidelines and ordinances. Other products slated for testing are the Stage I camshafts for H22A and D16Y-Z, and intake manifolds.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Skunk2 Racing Stage I VTEC camshafts are now CARB exempt. The camshafts recently went through the state mandate procedures and passed all criteria. The camshafts now come with a CARB Exemption Order Number. Owners of the B-series DOHC VTEC engine can now experience great horsepower gains and help Mother Earth at the same time. Other products undergoing testing are H22A and D16Y-Z Stage I VTEC camshafts, and all intake manifolds.

 

Why do you CA people need CARB #s for internal parts? Its not like they're going to do a motor teardown at the testing facility. I'm sure its nice for Skunk2 to have that certification but for the consumer its not an issue is it?

 

because if you get busted with them, and they're not CARB legal, you either get fined or have to go to the ref.

 

Yeah, but how exactly do you get busted for cams? Has it happened?
