Think this discussion should be more focused on how 02-12 XR6 Turbos can get around the BS rules, Rather then going to off topic.

You could modify your car, then take it to the emission labs to be tested, if it passes, you would be legal as long as it stayed the way it was tested, any further changes would require further testing.

The labs do not just use a sniffer at the tail pipe, they do bag collection which is more accurate than tailpipe sampling but takes everything on the car into account, even if you had a cheap surge tank as you were discussing in the other thread which may emit fuel vapour through cheap hoses or fittings, this would show up and cause a fail.

I think Nizpro paid $8000 a time to be tested.

Which is clearly passed on to the consumer in their product price!!! :tomato:

ps: Like all reputable/professional businesses should do to make money and provide the best product.

Our emission testing is for our cars, overseas stuff would need to be tested by their appropriate agencies, Nizpro did it to provide emission compliant kits

The nizpro stuff might be dear for a street legal 300rwkw, but it also has the potential there to make a heap more power too, and the xcal can hold multiple tunes....

Port turbo, swap exhaust, add a surge tank/pump and your laughing.

If you did do the right thing and get it tested do you think the EPA would book you if you failed?

I'm not going to bother trying to pass a lab test just the side of the road ones.

We have had a couple of customers running the nizpro 4" exhaust with a flapper valve in one tip. they have had there cars reported to the epa, we have then supplied them with a copy of the epa's testing on our f6 ute to demonstrate that the exhausts do comply. the police/vicroads epa etc don't bother them after that.
