Well I received my EPA in the mail, doesn't mention anything about the modifications he found but other than the exhaust it has all been put back to stock, gonna go down to an exhaust shop tomorrow to see what they can do but its 3" turbo back and 3.5" after the cat so it's pretty loud and I'm thinking stock catback with POSSIBLY the metal plate as R31Nismoid mentioned above added in is the only way it'll pass, any suggestions?

Cheers.

Yeah just spoke to an exhaust guy and he said it'll pass with stock cat back which is good, now I need to find someone who will lend it to me for a week in exchange for a slab or something..

Do they care that my N/A airbox doesn't fit properly with stock turbo piping and is only bolted down with one bolt? surely they wouldnt..

Is it full emissions test or noise only ? I got stock cat back but a guys borrowing for an EPA At the moment should have it back by this time next week welcome to borrow if you don't find one sooner

Well I'm not really sure thats the thing, the TMU officer pointed out manual boost controller, pod+intercooler and loud exhaust, now gone back to stock with the controller cos it was useless anyway, airbox is on (N/A one doesnt even fit :/ ) and the exhaust I suppose has to be under 90dB. It doesn't specifically state any modifications on the form but it says "Emission Control Systems And Noise" as the title :( $80.70 to get it tested it says.

Yea that's a full EPA. Car must be completely stock or legal (1 intake mod)

So I can leave the intercooler on? Cos theres a hole cut for that nor do I have the original cooler.

Leave the cooler on and have your stock airbox on. If your car isn't heavily moded you'll be fine

I know :( Previous owner has it for 6 years with the mods doesn't even get pulled over, I get stuck in a booze bus 2 weeks after purchase and I get done for his mods :( At least theres no massive mods, exhaust is all I have to worry about now.

Is there a difference between an N/A and GTS-T airbox or have I just set it up all wrong cos it hardly fits :P

I've had 1 full EPA with current mods and think there may be another one on it's way. But for me I have to change: turbo, injectors, afm, exhaust, boost controller and ECU. So yours will be fine

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
