YeloBlammo 07-08-2001, 09:51 PM you guys say that the det engines dont pass emissions...i live in MA and need to pass so i can get this thing on the road..so if anyone could inform me a bit on how to do this legally since i will have to do this for year to come as well..and also ..do these have any restrictions on the output of the motor?..if it helps it is a BB in a 91 1.6 nx ..thanks alot..scott Rittmeister 07-11-2001, 03:33 PM I'm curious about this too... TIA ------------------ SR20DE - Tiny but Mighty '94 Black SE-R with few mods SO FAR YeloBlammo 07-11-2001, 10:09 PM if someone could help us out..thanks RacerX 07-11-2001, 10:31 PM how thorough are the tests???.... if they are done at low RPM's and don't do a visual I think a cat might be able to just sneak within the guidelines. ------------------ 93 NX2K some stuff and a DET "project street mod?" 1988 BMW M3 w/ a few toys 07-11-2001, 10:48 PM i dont understand why everyone keeps saying that the bluebird det wont pass inspection. that is a false statement mine passed with no cat on the car. as long as the car is tuned properly u should have no problem. my motor has about 32,000 miles on it, that could be the reason. Rittmeister 07-11-2001, 11:59 PM Joe - What are the exact emissions tests that your DET passed? Here in Ohio, in metropolitan areas, we have E-Check, which sniffs your exhaust over a wide rev range. I'd really be curious to know what tests are standard in your area. I would run a cat, as I am environnmentally concious; does the DET have all the EGR stuff that the DE has (forgive my ignorance)? Also, you DET guys, can/do you still run A/C and all the goodies? Do the UR pulleys fit the DET? TIA again YeloBlammo 07-12-2001, 05:24 PM i said that because this is what ive been hearing..i want to know what i could do before i drop this in and have everything done, then realize i needed to do something different... in MA, i believe they put something over your exhoust pipe, then run it up to third gear, maybe about 30 mph i think,, and then do it 2 times more and follow the same accleration that has been put on a graph from your first pass...at least this is what i thought they do..if anyone has any other info it would be great,,..thanks Rittmeister 07-13-2001, 04:05 PM Come on, you guys, we're really interested in this stuff - a DET transplant is a whole lot cheaper than Hotshot, F-Max, or JWT turbo kits. AZ 2K SE 07-15-2001, 03:15 AM It depends on what emissions standards your state has. In AZ we have IM-240. You have to pass a visual and a sniffer. If they determine that an emissions device is missing or not working due to being tampered with, you just failed. It is not a false statement in that situation. Now, if they don't enforce the rules that strictly where you live, I say go for it. | ||
