Dillz Three pedals are better then two.. Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 17y 5m 29d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 26/01/12 05:42 AM Share Posted 26/01/12 05:42 AM Thought this info might help people on their next trip to the EPA or better still help you get around them in the first place.Some Key points would be that ALL oil filters are in fact illegal, you can have a pod or a bigger intercooler but not both and also larger injectors are illegal.I think if you really put the effort in you could could get some decent power out of your car and still pass an EPA test without having to change anything. In other words yeah it's hard but not impossible.It's an interesting read anyway.EPA GUIDELINEShttp://epanote2.epa..../$FILE/1031.pdfEnvironmental Protection Regulations.http://www.austlii.e...eg/eper2003563/VIC ROADS REGULATIONShttp://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/NR/rdonlyres/CC48FC10-4D57-4F04-82E1-3BD72EF88340/0/VSI8.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some helpful info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebxmple Member 1,322 Member For: 16y 9m 25d Posted 26/01/12 07:42 AM Share Posted 26/01/12 07:42 AM How are testers going to know if you have bigger injectors? Especially if they are drilled factory items. If you have injectors and a tune,aslong as the smelly stuff coming out the back is within specs,they cant do anything yeah? As I have said before,somehow Nizpro have done whatever it takes to get their full kits to pass. Maybe without exhausts on the B series but pretty sure they pass with exhaust on FGs.. Bit of comfort for people thinking bout modding legally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drilled injectors would be a loophole I guess as they are still a factory unit, same thing hopefully with F6 ones.Nizpro kits can't/won't pass if they have a cooler and a pod as that rule is clear as day. Even if your exhaust passes emissions I doubt any high flow exhaust bigger then stock will pass a noise test.However with a bit of luck an FG with F6 injectors, high flowed stock air box with panel filter, high flow cat and big cooler should technically be ok and still make 300..
