So i took my car to get its emissions tested today, in Waukesha County. They failed me because i dont have the original airbox on my car. My actully tail pipe emissions actully passed. They said I need a closed air box no matter what. Ive got a full turbo setup running just 7psi, stock internals, 550cc injectors, hondata s200 engine management and a proper cat. If i put the stock air box back on the car should it run properly or are the injectors and the tuning map for the turbo not going to like the lack of air?

 

you're boosted, and they're bitching about no airbox?

 

f that man just reregster your car in dane county, tell em youre going to uw-madison. no emmisions for you ever again. proof this works, my car, my buddies 300 zx, and vw gti. give it a shot

 

yeah they are bitching about no airbox, i dunno, the bitch working didnt seem with it. I do actully go to uw-madison and id like to register my car out there, but the DMV said i need to pass emissions before i can register my car out there.

 

try going to a different dmv and just right away say i would like to reregister car and see what they xay

 

suck mang good thing i live up north...

 

so do you think my car will run properly/safely with the stock air box?

 

wis. emissions sucks...imagine living here in cali...you won't pass at all with your honda boosted.

 

If you can get the stock airbox to fit on the turbo, it should be fine if you dont go into boost. It doesn't pull much air with regular driving. Can you just put the airbox around the filter or something?

 

prolly not, its a tight fit by the radiator and coolant catch can, i dunno if im even gonna be able to get the full air box on where its actully suppose to go. Has anyone else in WI passed emissions with an aftermarket intake?

 

sorry that suck

 

bump

 

wait WI emissions are more strict than chicago's? what is the world comming to?
Hell they didn't even pop the hood the last time I was in there. Felt like a Mc'Ds drive through. check the cap, scan for codes, thank you drive through....

in all seriousness though... if they demand a box'd filter pull the charge pipe for the test, drop in a OEM arm and box that sort of fits and pass the test. Even if the car runs like crap it will only be for a little bit.
Heck I've swapped parts back and forth at a gas station that was three blocks away from the test station. (passed the OBD1 sniffer test without a cat that time)
