Ohio Emissions in an SR20DET

[S14Kyle]

I asked this question in the FAQ a couple days ago, and it hasn't gotten a large, detailed response, so I'll ask it in a new thread:
What is a surefire way I could get the SR into my 98 240 and have it pass? And about how much would it cost?
Also, keeping the horsepower at decent figures with the modifications, something permanent that I could keep on the 240 to pass emissions over and over again.

Thanks Guys,
Any help is needed,

There IS NO WAY to do it surefire..the SR is a dirty engine, not designed to pass US emissions...why do you think the DET was never exproted here???

[flylwsi]

you can make anything pass emissions...

ohio isn't that strict in regards to the emissions laws, and they don't look under the hood.

you could get it done.

where in NEO are you?

I just thought that they didn't think anyone would buy it, like it was their marketing peopel that lever let it over here. I always thought Japan's emissions and especially Australia's were stricter. Also, if you go to www.nissan.com.au you'll find that the "200SX" is still sold new with the sr20det and sr20de.

Kirtland if you've heard of it. About 15 minutes from Cleveland.

Also, someone's been telling me that in order to pass emissions, I have to run the engine lean (with the cat). I don't want to do that because I would have to switch back and forth. Is there a way to pass without running it lean?

why are skylines illegal in alot of states but not in cali? or are they?

i live in cincinnati ohio and my s13 sr20det passed e-check fine. it has 60,000 miles on it too.

THIS EXCITES ME! What year is your car and do you know the year of your engine except the very general statement of 91-94? I was thinking about just painting my KA so it still looks nice before it oxidizes like my dad's 95 Altima KA did, but since this revelation occurred, I can start thinking about an SR swap again! Hooray!:silly2: :smoka: :bandit:

[flylwsi]

skylines are legal in all states...









if you import it and have it legalized to be driven in the US.
if it's smog legal in cali, it's smog legal anywhere.

i've got a test pipe instead of a cat, and i've got to switch it to the cat when i E check.

we do these things. get over it...

the minor inconvenience is worth it to deal with retuning for a day.

i'm not quite sure that running lean is the answer though...

the shop i deal with www.slickmotorsports.com (in north olmstead)
is about to do an sr20det convo on a 240.

you can email matt there and ask him his opinion on what it takes to get it legal...

and i'm sure halyoder can help too...

my car is a 91 240sx coupe and i have a red top out of a 180 i know cause i got a front clip. when i got e-check i had stock exhaust,fmic,greddy pulleys,upgraded fuel pump,no aiv,stock boost,that was about it. but now i got some other things do don't know if it would pass now but in 2 years i will find out .

[mynismo]

just run it hard before you take it to e-check.... real hard. that will burn all the air pollution chemical stuff so the environmentalists are happy

wow, a thread full of ohioans...

and another clevelander no less...

damn...

like halyoder said, as long as your smog stuff (cat) is in place, you're not going to have much of a problem...

just take it out later...

hey wasssssup..

we should have a c-town 240 meet.. up at turbofour on superior. i've never been there but a guy just told me there are some 240s up there all the time.

this friday or saturday? im down for it, i have nothing to do.

[flylwsi]

i would go, but i'm not a 240 guy.
turbofour is a nice little place, but that's about it.
they don't do their own installs, and they are basically a shop to order parts through... they farm their installs out to other people...
and they close by the time i'm out of work...

if you wanna meet up... common grounds on lorain and rocky river is where i hang out...
me and my friend with a s/c'd 97 jetta...

pm me about it...

later
