96 gsr 200k miles. Still run hella strong but have to rebuilt my baby. Lookin to turbo it. I live in sacramento,ca and overhere we have smog issue. Was wondering if i can turbo it and still pass smog? Want to bore the block to 2.0 or higher but dont know if i can pass smog. Plus any advice would be good. Want to keep on the daily driven sleeper side.

 

find a shady shop to pass you. but if you get pulled over and they pop your hood you're screwed.

 

i cant see why not if your talking boost, i run my evo catless and almost a straight thru muffler and it passes, just use the spacer on your o2 sensor so you dont get a CEL and with a good tune it "should" pass..my evo puts out lower emissions then my other 2 cars

 

Probably from a shady shop... No car without a cat will pass visual inspection, most likely won't pass emissions either.

I think some companies sell carb legal turbo kits btw.

 

lol, it looks like i have a cat when u look under my car..but its straight piped thru it

 

you've obviously never done a smog in ca

 

texas...and everything cali does texas just does it a year or 2 later

 

^^ no it doesn't, cali is the only state with their type of emissions and automotive laws, in the country, buncha tree huggin poosies..

Any real mechanic can tell the difference between a test pipe and a real cat lol

 

no, its my factory cat, punched out, and a pipe welded into it that flows straight threw

 

Ohh gotcha, the way you said "looks like a cat" made me think it wasn't a cat lol.

 

my car is turboed i run a 2.5 inch exhaust and a magnaflow cat with 450cc injectors i pass with flying colours because my car runs like stock till after about 3500 rpm because my tuner mapped it that way and should do yours the same the only thing that doesnt pass is that i have the valve cover and pcv venting to atmosphere but i just go to a oil changer place and they have no idea what theyre looking at once they pop the hood anyway.

 

HAHAHAHA.. ^^

 

You guys are still missing the point, HE LIVES IN CALIFORNIA!

 

yea but a set up just like whiterice has will work in CALIFORNIA....its all in the tune..just take it to a small oil change shop when u get ur inspection and ur set

 

With a good tune it might pass emissions, but it still will not pass inspection.

 

exactly

my car will pass the sniffer all day. once they look under the car and see no cat instant fail.

 

well run the cat then and use a catch can instead of venting stuff to atmosphere and put the dump tube back into the exhaust, theres no law that says a turbo is illegal u just have to follow their rules is all i cant imagine not being able to pass a legit test with these things and a tune with an almost stoock map at low rpm

 

also where i live if u change the displacement the car then becomes "hot rodded" and they have a baseline for all hot rods which is really high, you'll be testing like a carbureted 8 cyl, my buddys h22 eg turbo passes with no cat, prolly not the same california but a call to the dmv wouldnt hurt.

 

ANY part without a CARB number will fail. there is currently no carb legal turbo kit for integra's.

 

can someone say JRSC??? lol

 

lol at jrsc

 

ya i have no idea how things work down there just puttin in my 2 cents and own experiences, but i guess its pretty hard core in cali eh

 

whats jrsc?

 

i just got done watching season 1 of "ice road truckers" ive heard the word "eh" enough today lol

 

J- jackson R-racing SC- supercharger lol
