Brilliant!

Damnit, I can't view the picas from work and the suspense is killing me! What did he do? Cover the ITBs with a stock-looking manifold?

 

[FooSchnickens]

yeah, he took the stock carbed plenum and fit it over the aftermarket carbs with the hoses, sensors and everything. Very clean :lol:

...but will it pass SMOG????? I don't think it will.

 

[Mx-5 dude]

I dont understand these laws.

If it passes the smog test why does the visual test matter at all ?

 

[bobai]

Probably because some idiot bureaucrats wrote the law.

Apparently it did, that thread is over 2 years old :loll:

 

[EndlessCorners]

Cool idea except for the ignition box. Its a little obvious. Maybe he could cover it with a fuse box lid.

No need to worry for the GA guys - I show my trumpets with pride to the emisson doos. Brilliant job.

It will pass at the smog station, but the machine/test there is very simple - just to check if your setup is broken or not. It tests only cruising at 15 and 25 mph for a couple of minutes.

The real smog check test is done at a smog lab and takes few days. Both OEM and aftermarket have to do it to get certificate that the particular setup doesn't polute.

No, they are not idiots. They do it this way so just one car gets smogged and not everyone has to go for a smog check and waste few days waiting in line for it

I remember when that was forst posted on the Vortex. I've been wanting to see that again!

 

[CE28N]

That was awsome! Pretty slick.

[slutz4]

Thats a good idea, good thing I live in Indiana :mrgreen: , I dont even have to have an exhaust

All MSD products are CARB approved, so that's not an issue. I *think* that fuel pump is as well, so as long as he has his paperwork, he'd be in the clear.

i remember seeing a turbo'd honda where everything is hidden. anyone have the link?

Weird, I remember reading on DMV/CARB/CHP that all ignition boxes were banned, but then MSD says they are 50 state legal. :?
