Any legal turbo kits?

[YungStrykr]

I was wondering if anyone makes a legal turbo kit? I know greddy has one for the 95-98 ka motors. I have a ka24e and I want a turbo that will legally pass smog without having to find illegal smogger. Any help would be apprciated. Thanks.

no.

no they don't. it's been in the developmental stages since the beginning of time. there are rumors that it'll be out this year, but we'll just have to wait and see.

By installing a turbo onto your motor your not affecting the emmisions. Since the motor will not be under a load and therefore not producing any boost during the smog test, your ecu should not be using any fuel or timing maps that it wouldn't normally use when the car was naturally aspirated.

i know nothing about emissions testing since we don't have them in south carolina, but doesn't the vehicle have to pass a visual inspection? if so, don't all aftermarket parts have to have a carb # (i think that's what it's called)?

Some mechanics will look under the hood. Mine didn't back when I lived in Boston. Depends on the criteria I'm sure, differing in each state and county.

I know the turbo won't make you fail the emmisions portion of the test, but it may screw you on the lookover.

God bless the south and no vehicle inspections...what about little cuba, I mean Miami??
