I just got a letter in the mail saying that I have an emission test in a few months. Will I pass with the Revhard kit?

Just wanted to know if anyone has gone through it already... if it doesn't pass, how can you make sure you pass with the turbo?

Thanks guys,
Dave

 

You won't pass. In my opinion, the only sure way to pass is to take off the turbo.

 

i took mine off last night. goin to put it back to stock for a few days and pass emissions.

 

How do you know he won't pass the emisions? Just because he has a Rev-Hard turbo kit he fails automatically? What about Drag owners, and of course Greddy owners? Automatic fail? The visual is a give away. I'm talking about the actual emissions coming out of the exhaust.

With proper tuning any vehicle can pass emissions. Turbo Acura/Hondas run cleaner than most people think.

 

Yea but most aftermarket turbo kits are for "off-road" use only. Greddy kits that have CARB/50 Street Legal certification are a little different.

 

i'm glad i live in FL - no emissions!!!!!!!!

 

you could always find a friend at a emissions center or if you had the turbo done by a shop, i'm sure they no somebody.

 

if you have all the proper smog equipment running and it works.. passing emissions shouldnt be too bad. although... it automatically fails visual... which means... it wont pass.

 

ya, but how do you even know there is a visial test? here in ga, they just pu it on a dyno, w/a sniffer in the tail pipe, and let it rip.

No, you just take your car to a smog shop that doesn't care about the visual. I've been doing that for the past four years. The dude just pops my hood and runs the test. He doesn't even bother checking all that CARB EO crap. I only hope he's still around come September '03.
