Greddy makes one.

Most turbo kits can pass smog though if you keep your emissions crap. Most don't and that's why they end up having to find away around the smog guys. Most people say the Greddy kit is overpriced, I agree. You can get so much more for that price.

There are no carb legal turbo kits for the 240sx available.

Idk about CA but it seems legal. Again I would just piece together my own. Btw, the Greddy kit is only for the s14. I'm assuming because it's OBDII but idk.

The kit will work on a s13. As well as a 95 s14.

All pretty much the same.

You just need to figure out which wire goes where.

The greddy kit isn't legal.

They have legal ones for honda as well as for the 350z, but not for S-chassis.

Whatever. If you're worried THAT much about being steet legal, KA-T isn't for you. KA-T's can easily pass smog, even in CA. What more do you want?

Again, build your own turbo kit if you're going KA-T. You'll be much happier because you're using the parts YOU want. And it's usually cheaper. Especially if you can find good deals, which are usually not hard to come by.

There is no ka-t that will pass smog in california. It might pass visual with a cat and all emission stuff on it but it will fail visual.

^ tried it with my car, smog tech took 1 look at my setup and said nope. Most smog tech's know what they are doing so dont count on them overlooking most ka-t setups. Unless you go out of your way to make look oem such as using SR20 smic piping, intake pipe and filter box, use a bottom mount manifold like jgs and rig up a stock looking heatshield, then you might be able to fool a smog tech.

that's the only way to legally pass smog, but you won't legally be able to drive it. If CHP pops your hood you are screwed.

Do people really get their hoods popped in CA? And also, do they do visual checks on all the smog vehicles out there? I've never seen smog guys do a visual out here, and AZ is strict, I think.

I get my hood popped all the time. and the last cop that looked under the hood was dumb as hell. I have a circuit sports coolant tank and he thought it was a blow off valve!!! he looked real sad when he found every thing was legal.
