Greddy Turbo kit, Emission Test question, please help

[Calvary]

Hi, I got a 1995 Nissan 240sx. I heard that the Greddy Turbo kit is street legal in all 50 state and some are saying except cali or whatever. I'm from new york. I was thinking of adding the following to my car:Greddy Turbo kit, Greddy FMIC, AEM Short Ram Intake (they say their intake is 50 state legal or pending), and Apexi Cat N-1 Exhaust system.

I was wondering with this setup, would it pass the New York State Emissions.

If it was to fail, is there a way to make it pass the emissions by doing somethign rather then taking apart the turbo kit and intercooler?

Also if it's legal, can I up the psi and get mroe HP and still make it pass emissions?

I've been spending the last 3 days countless hours trying to find out.Any help would really be appreciated.Thanks in advanced

I'll throw you a bone. Most of us KA boys are too poor for turbo kits, especially a GReddy one that costs what an RB does.

So give this question a whirl in KA-T, where i guarentee someone has this kit

can you up the psi and still pass emissions? well if you cant you could always turn down the psi a bit boost controller style for the test, or if you are ultra-scared get a seperate map tuned for your car for ultra-low boost (why am i saying ultra so much?) and tuned to pass emissions, i'm almost positive this is no problem in E-Manage This is gonna cost some dyno-time dough though, so....

is their a visual inspection in NY? if so good luck on that one with all your new shiny things.

hmmm, i really wish i knew more, so definately ask the KA-T guys, not I.

Best advice i can give you is to make sure your cat is really good. wait S14 cats are on the downpipe, so yeah i've entirely wasted your time

Last I heard the Greddy kit is pending CARB approval. If you don't need a test for a year or two you should be fine.

Emissions numbers won't be affected by your boost level because your car is never going to see peak boost at 10% throttle and 2500RPM.

hm,.... on their site it states that they are 50 state legal, I see, well thanks for your help.

Make sure it has CARB approval. That's what matters in CA for SMOG.

but I do appreciate ur help, and no I don't think NY has visual inspection, just some plug in and etc. Mind clarifying it for me Dj, thanks again

well, i live in New york would it matter?

[InsanityInc]

If you're in NY, then it doesn't matter. I'm talking about CA, because we basically suck *** as far as SMOG goes. If you don't have a visual test then you can do anything you want. The turbo won't make you fail smog, except for NOx maybe, but you probably don't even have to worry about NOx in NY (lucky bastard).

i'm double checking, all it stats on the new york dmv site is I believe they just hook it up to see how much gas my car puts out and measures the co2 and the nox and etc. So, if they just do that and don't do visual i can pass?

[TheOne]

yours most likely goes through the sniffer test because it is a 95, and if they don't do a visual test then you are fine with any turbokit, as long as you lean the lower rpm's which is around where they test it, usually up to 2500rpm.

would installing a turbo charger, do anything to the emission control system that's on the car? Like would I have to take out some parts of the emission control system if I install a turbo charger?

what if mine's a obd2 lieik a 96 model? Would I be scr*wed? And I was looking at the dmv they said they do visual inspection on these: The following pollution control devices are examined if the vehicle was originally manufactured with them. The vehicle model years affected are indicated.

Positive crankcase ventilation system (PCV) - 1968 and newer. Catalytic converter (CAT) - 1975 and newer. Fuel inlet restrictor (FIR) - 1984 and newer. Exhaust gas recirculation valve (EGR) - 1973 and newer. Thermostatic air cleaner (TAC) - 1984 and newer. Air injection system (AIS) - 1984 and newer. Evaporative emission control (EVAP) - 1984 and newer.

would i fail the test?

You don't have to remove any of that to turbo the engine. You'll just have to install a normal cat after the downpipe.
