Trick the Smog Dude

Hey! can you modify the KA valve cover to put on the SR20DET. Or modify the SR valve cover to look like the KA. How much to get a valve cover custom done? Trying to think of ways to get the SR to pass the smog test without a bribe or changing the cars title.

i doubt it. the KA's a lot longer than the SR, so the spark plugs won't line up. the real problem here is the fact that you'll have this big turbo sitting on the exhaust manifold to give it away.

California never said that engines can't br turbocharged. Why could it just be a turbocharged KA?

what do you do to bribe these ppl????

Pacman · May 28th, 2003, 09:04 PM

I'm not trying to bribe people. I want to trick them. If you want to bribe them, I guess you can give 'em 1 bill.

CARB does actually say you can't turbocharge a car...kinda. they say you can't do anything that could alter the emissions of your car. meaning, even if it doesn't dramatically increase emissions, if it doesn't come with a CARB EO#(exemption order), its illegal to them. some turbo kits have CARB EO's, but they usually don't make much power. i'm thinking about getting the GReddy kit (for the KA) just for the EO#, then swapping on a bigger turbo. how many cops can tell the difference between a TD05-16G & a T04E anyway?

Just find a shady smog place, give the guy $100, take your moms car, smog check that, and have him scan the registration of your car. Consider it handled. If you got no shady smog places then I feel for you. Good luck swapping out the motors.

in cali, if you get pulled over, does a cop actually look under your hood to see whats goin on in there? something like that would never happen in arizona, unless they thought you were smuggleing mexicans or coke. and no, the two valve covers are TOTALLY differand and wont even come close to fitting. just go to emmisoins with your ka moter, then when u get home, put in your det. the sr will pass emissions though. once again, in arizona.

Bumpin · May 30th, 2003, 04:55 PM

no cops dont check under your hood. they couldnt care less. just try doin what i said before u go pulling out motors.

i feel for all of you that have to deal with emissions. i live in NY and we dont have to deal with any of that. they couldnt care less about it. i'm sure that will all change in a couple years tho.
