RB20 how to pass an Emission Test in NJ?

[240Top Secret]

Im tryin to figure out if its worth swapping a motor like that into a 240 with knowing that youll fail emission in NJ...the gayest state of all 50 ...if you know anything about this...fell me in..thanks

[Carl H]

yeah i hate to say it (ok i dont really) but nj is HORRIBLE.i just drove thru it tuesday and for the effin 20$ i paid in tolls im not happy that i had my teeth rattled out on the turnpike, where the hell does that money go anyways?just slap a cat on the motor, she'll pass...promise.

[240Top Secret]

r u sure...alot of ppl are sayin that in order for it to pass is to fuk around with some 02 ,N0X sensors and all that which will result in loss of power...

[Sil240]

NOX sensor?????There is no such thing.Unless you put in a individual cylinder temp sensor.

NOX occurs when cyl temps are too high, thats why they have EGR's which dump exhaust into the cyl too cool it down.

Exhaust doesn't burn that's why it doesn't get hotter.

Just put a CAT on it.

Are u 100% sure about that...its a RB motor...those engines are ozone ****ers

[wob]

lol tru..

its not the most legal way to do things.. but these shops have ways around everything....and with no questions asked...

[Shahee1]

It will pass as long as you are running pretty clean ... mine passed with no cat and running a shade rich ... I passed with flying colors ...

Maryland and New jersey is like black and white...

[tjmhillz]

like wob said just go to the gas station tell them ur situation and payu the money.. u might get arse raped by some gas stations but u will have a good sticker in the window. or u can take ur chances going to the dmv and have a 50/50 chance..i would get a cat then try the dmv first if not then hit up that gas station lol

Where'd you get that information from????

Where'd you get that information from????

WHAT INFO?

[Ramius83]

I slapped a cat on my RB26. It failed the NOx section. Did everything I could to lower the cylinder temps, but I just couldn't. This is because we have no EGR valve, and with running the extra 2 cylinders, the NOx numbers never came close to that of the KA. So $150 later, I passed.

"Did everything I could to lower the cylinder temps, but I just couldn't."

What did you try????

[240Top Secret]

Its a joke...? meaning its hard to pass an emission test in DMV in NJ

[Ramius83]

Ramius83

"Did everything I could to lower the cylinder temps, but I just couldn't."

What did you try????

Running 1 and 2 step colder plugs. Running more/less fuel. Playing with the timing. Even "unplugged" Cylinders 1 and 6. Since I am emissions certified, I ran maybe 12-15 tests on the dynamometer in test mode trying to get it to pass with a 3" REGULAR Catco Cat and just couldn't get it to pass.

[Carl H]

it should be possible to pull 2 cylinders off line just by unplugging the injectors and coils...either way if you are that worried about it then dont do the swap, else register it somewhere where emissions dont matter...like south carolina.

[240Top Secret]

Yea. Im just gonna do it at a private shop. Its not like it costs a **** load of greens...like 80$
