hiya..
just wanted to know..has anyone taken the new texas state inspection and emission test with SR20DET? (the one the applied around may..where we have to pay more,,and there is a dyno looking test thing?)
does it pass the test?...*** i dont really know what new stuff will be tested an all..

Im going to have to go through this as soon as my car is running. Is there anyone that has done this because I know there are a few turbo sr20's around the DFW area so what do you guys do?

anyone?with the sr20det's??
*** i would reeally hate it when i've done the swap just to know im only gonna be able to drive it for just two months and then need to sell it or stuff..

I'm pretty shure Geo down in Houston tested his and got it to pass. Mabe he'll see this thread and chime in. There are other way's around the test too;)

I've not tested under the new rules yet. I need to add EGR to mine.

well..?...anyone?...
to Geo:..have u tested yet?

I havent yet....but I will soon hehe

post it up in here the result will ya?
good luck though....hope u passed it...*** if u passed it...then i can go on with my plans..(swapping my engine..heeee..heee)

i just found a web site..bout the inspection...this is what it said that will be done in the inspection other than the emission test itself
