California Smog With A Turbo
I Have A 2000 Civic Ex (original Motor D-16y8) And A Garret Turbo T3/t4 (6-8lbs Boost) With Intercooler. I Was Told It Will Not Pass Smog But I'm Sure It Will. Does Anyone Know Anything About This? Where Some Places Are? What I May Need To Do To Pass, With The Turbo?
Also, I Want To Do A Motor Swap With A B-16 Or 18 Not Sure Yet, With A Custom Turbo. Will This Pass As Well? What Kind Of Publications Are Out There? And What Manual Should I Look To. Please Help! Jim |

Re: California Smog With A Turbo
You might pass the emissions test, but there is also a visual inspection that you won't pass unless you somehow get the DMV to give you an exempt status (not easy to do you have to pass a detailed DMV inspection). Aftermarket upgrades such as a turbo need to be CARB exempt and have to have the CARB number displayed somewhere for the inspector to see.
Maybe you could go to a smog-check place where the tester can be "talked into" giving you a "pass" on the visual. Quote:
I know that you know everything there is to know about everything, but CA doesn't care WTF you do to a vehicle that falls within the "grandfather clause" since anything you do would probably be an improvement. They're much more restrictive with newer vehicles. |

the answer is no. besides not pasing the actual sniffer will depend on your snail. also, you cannot vent exhaust fumes under your hood.

All modifications that are emission related have to be C.A.R.B. approved period. (California Air Resources Board) I did check to see if any Garret turbo's are legal on the carb list and they are not. Therefore you are responsible to make it legal. Next time you buy any mod you need to check for a carb number. I am sorry for you being a noob but we all have had to learn somehow. As a smogger we can lose our job if we pass a car that is not legal. I like my job and I am not risking it for anyone. SB is also correct on a visual inspection you will fail. It doesn't matter if your car will pass the exhaust sampling or not. I do agree with you about the Hotrods and such, but it is a law and what can we do but abide by it. You can remove the illegal parts and put back on the stock stuff for the test and then put it back on. Welcome to California.... SH |
