Cops hassled me last night no defects no fines ! good news is in a week I will get a letter in thwe mail saying I'm to go to the EPA :(

Thats not good I got pod ,bov ,exhaust so I got to put it back to standard,think I got a few weeks cause has to be booked in at LIdcomb.

Just wanted any tips to avoid being fined and getting emissions down,

I don't have the original exhaust so would just getting a quiter muffler and putting stock bov and air box on keep me out of trouble?

someone on here must have gone threw this shit

anyhelp appreciated

"Fun's over "Qoute from highway patrol

if you remove the pod filter and install the original panel filter/box setup the front mount will not give you any trouble. You are allowed one intake mod, ie intercooler or pod filter. What state are you in ??

this differs from state to state also. All i can advise you todo is goto an exhaust shop, get your exhaust noise tested. If its over, im sure it will have a flange in the middle somwhere, just get a smaller pipe made, like 2.5" into a quite muffler. Nothing flash, mild steel shitness.

Apart from that, remove ur bov. your on the right track. Also remove a boost controller if you have one at all.

You should pass no probs

I'm in NSW so you still think intercooler going to be alright ,

I got the bottom half of the air box just need top half ,just jap don't have an airbox in stock but if they did they said it would be $290 thats ridiculous !!

  • 2 weeks later...

just get a proper box made up for ur pod, ( shouldnt have an open pod anyway with all that hot air) do that and ur cooler is no issues at all,

put the stock bov back on, and if the exhaust is too loud just get a little extra muffler in it somewhere, or if u like the loudness get one of those butterfly valves fron nengun..

ben...

i got like 3 changes to my intake and the RTA didn't say a word when i rego'd it, it was in the engineering cert.

As for emissions test, it aint just your noise, all your gasses are read etc, it's very tough to pass. Make sure your ECU is standard too

    • Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.
    • Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that). 
    • Yeah thats the next step now, either they wil or i will take out for a drive to work and go straight their after work and see is we get the same issues 🤞  thought i try my luck here too, never know someone else might have had the same issue but thanks for the reply 
    • Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point
    • Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
