Okai.. So I was just on my way to COURT of all places...
And I get pulled over for "no front plate"
Well cop pops my hood. and all I have is a ZCvtec Sohc... with a DC header.. and an aftermarket intake. Aswell as a 2.25 exhaust with cat.. to a es oval.. My car is still hella loud tho..
My car is a 92 si hatch.. so it came stock with a d16z6... Which is equivelant to the zcvtec...
There might be a lil more compression and a bigger cam.. and I think the intake mani is missing one or 2 things.

Well I have a couple of questions.....
Since I have no carb sticker should I put My stock exhaust manifold back on?
I have the stock intake...
Now heres where The hard part might be...
My intake manifold is jdm... And I think it is missing a few emission components...
I do have a USDM one.. that I will prolly have to throw on..
Should I?
If I had the money I would just swap to a B series before I went to the ref...
But Im not working at the moment so Im broke...
My buddy has a stock exhaust that I will prolly need to borrow.

Any other ideas or input is welcome and appriciated.

I am beginning to hate CA more and more day by day...
Oh and does anyone know how much it costs for an appointment with the ref? and how long it will take before I can get one?

 

YO,

You need to convert it to USDM to pass which is pretty much intake and exhaust systems and all USDM smog related equipment for that motor. Also the motor must be same year as your car or newer. Dont sue me if im wrong but I did a search a buncha times and I believe I am right.

Damn PO PO's

They say to protect and serve I say they Harass and disturb. ha ha
Just kiddin Coppers NOT!! NOT!! NOT!! Hope that confuses you Piggly Wigglies.

PEACE

 

Your DC header should have a CARB stamp on it that they can look up for reference. If your intake isnt CARB legal i would suggest you find a stock one or someone who can loan you their AEM CARB certified intake.

 

I have the stock intake.. But my headers only say DC on them I might be wrong..
Maybe they are the old style? Iono I will look right now.

and LOL at budget

 

Does anyone know what this black thing is that Im pointing to?
That seems to be the only thing that my manifold doesnt have...

Oh and does anyone know what the appointment costs if anything?

 

ttt

 

thats a bad pic (glare), what is the pic of?

 

sorry itwas my phone that is the back of the intake manifold.. If you were looking inside an engine it would be all the way on the right.. Ill take a better pic.

 

appears to be the evap purge solenoid...

 

its going to cost u about 40 bucks to let a ref check out the car...what they do is smog your car and look at your hood very carefully..well it depends where u go..

 

any suggestions on which one I should go to near OC... or where if its worth it I will make the drive..

About the evap purge solenoid... this is required... for the state ref????
Because My intake manifold doesnt have it.

it usually is just attached by a screw onto a tab of the stock intake manifold....look at your hood to see if there is a vacuum diagram that shows it. as for the ref im not real sure because im in PA

 

let me just take this moment to express my deepest appreciation for not living in CA or anywhere else with gay *** laws... thank you

 

Okai I wish the manifold on my car still had the one vacuum port that this thing goes to so I could just take it off.. and put it on this manifold.. but now I gotta switch the entire manifold out all cuz of this stupid little USELESS solenoid...
DAMN YOU REFEREE!!!
Im pretty sure I need it...

But anyone from CA know for sure?
and... if I fail the 1st time do I get another attempt?
Maybe I can attempt the inspection with just my stock header.. stock intake.. stock exhaust.. and hope Im good.. or is it just more of a hassle to come back again?
and have to put on my usdm manifold..
Since this is SOHC.. and all... maybe they wont nit pick as much..
Iono.. I could be wrong..
AND!!! they cant say **** about my block saying zc if everything is right... right?

yeah... thakns for that!!!! ******!!! expletive CA LAWS!!!!! these pigs really have NOTHING better to do man..
like.. you dont even know how many druggies there is in CA... go expletive with them

 

That EVap is neccessary along with the canister as well, among other things

 

You californians and your silly smog laws. Nice place to visit, but I dont drive there. I, on the other hand, could run full jdm, with a test pipe and still be cool. Oh yeah, and missouri is doing away with inspections. Carb approved? WTF is that. LOL. The midwest may not be the epicenter of the world, but at least we can drive whatever the hell we want.

 

Okai.. Lets not turn this into a ANTI-CA thread...
I know CA laws suck.. and I envy other states for this....
But I we dont need a bunch of posts about it..
I need help passing Bar... with a SOHC for christ sakes...
Does anyone know what else the jdm engines.. dont have that Im supposed to have?

 

^^ You are right. I apologize.

 

Dont trip.. you arnt the only one.. and Im sure there will be more..

if your borrow a carb legal intake make sure its for your make and model...some refs might be **** about it.

 

Thanks But I have the stock intake box..
Should I put my stock header/exhaust manifold on? since I dont have the carb sticker.. and there is no number on my header..?
Or... does someone know where I can get a new sticker?
