RB25DET Legalities In Specified States!!

[XQsThaipoes]

Someone should organized a group buy type thing for an EO. Where they buy the arb exemption. The worse that can happen is all the swaps will have to be preformed by a single shop if the arb deems it too complexe for the average person.

Georgia:

Georgia is county to county, with bigger cities such as Atlanta having strict laws while small cities like Augusta have none. I live in Augusta, so there arent really too many things I cant do to my car and still be legal. Pay $34 on your birthday every year (thats when your registration expires in this state) and you are good to go. Straight pipes, swaps, etc are all legal here.

Gotta love the South for one thing at least

I do not think you can get an EO on a motor swap.

CARB is a little strange. I dont think anyone , even the people that work at the ARB fully understand the rules and regulations.

A motor swap is legal if you have all the same items on it as the vehicle that was certified and of the same or newer model year .

For an EO number cars are FTP tested to show the modifications do not make any major changes to the overall emissions of the vehicle.

Cold start - 11 mile drive cycle. SHED testing.

Not a smog.

What people dont get , because the states dont enforce it , is that the swaps and most modifcations are illegal under Federal Law. Federal and local law can and does differ.

An "Device Type: Engine Modification/ Engine Change" is legitimate EO several compaines have EOs for them.

The federal law stated that you can do anything to your car as long as it meets federal stadards. They then say it is your burden to prove your modification meets federal standards. The way you meet the standards is to pass the FTP. You know if they wrote the law the other way around in which the burden of proof was on the government then people would have it made.

After reading on and on the problem is hypothetically if you go to a smog check center then you dont have an EO to show the Bar guy.

south eastern idaho = no one gives a **** or knows what you have and no emissions testing. western idaho has emissions testing but no equipment checks.

Hypothetically is the problem. Even if it passes a smog check -tailpipe - if it doesnt pass a visual in California - then it fails. It shouldnt be that way. But it is.

This is something I need to do a bit more research into . I never really got into the whole EO - engine change thing.
