Im Worried About Being Epa'ed Anyone Got Any Tips?


Recommended Posts

well i just had some major work done on my car and there is no way i will get away with it if i pop my bonnet to a cop

i know everyone says if you drive sensibly you wont get pulled over but i think that is a load of

BS if you drive at night on the main roads where all the P platers drag and play around you will get pulled over

my question is that has anyone got any tips for avoiding a cop from popping the bonnet?

for example maybe dissconecting the bonnet pull latch and telling them its broken and i need a screwdriver to pop the latch?

i dont know what do you guys think

or has anyone got away with it before

create another bonnet latch, with ur factory one snip most the wires until its only held in place by one thread.. then tell the cop u dont know where ur bonnet latch thing is, when he goes to find/open it he will pull it and it will snap. Then hopefully he will feel bad and realise you can no longer open your bonnet as he has destroyed your car (it may catch fire).

Or if he is a prick, He will then give you a yellow sticker for being Un roadworthy coz ur bonnett latch is screwed and you cant open your bonnet

If you avoid opening the bonnet they'll just epa you anyway. They don't have to see shit to epa you. Your exhaust will be enough reason, not to mention the fact your avoiding opening the bonnet.

These sorts of things should have been thought through BEFORE you had the major work done.

too right, if they really wanted to get you, they'll get you. this is the consequences we import drivers have to take when we want to drive our cars. best thing to do is have all the spare parts ready to bolt back in when you get epa'd LOL

Make it look as stock as possible. like paint intercooler and pipeing black, stock looking heat shield etc. Plus if you get pulled over and they ask what mods you have done to your car. act dumb

Its a skyline - and u think they wont want to see under the bonnet? u better hope ur a female with massive tits, or major flirt if u get a chick cop - but i think even then u dont stand a chance :/

would u be speaking from experience?? :(

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
