Greddy Turbo/Air Care in BC

knh564 · 05-09-2008, 11:26 PM

I am on the edge of buying the Greddy kit for the FA5 but I am worried that it will no longer pass aircare, the scenario would be stock boost levels @ 6-8psi with the cat still in, does anyone in Van have the kit that could chime in?

I had to dump another car cause no matter how I tuned it, it never passed

Cheers!

aircare is like smog right?
luckly, in california new cars do not need to smog/aircare your car for six model years. 07 FA5 need smog/aircare in 2013

ya it's the same as smog, I'm pretty sure that we don't have to worry for 6-7 years too, and i probably won't even have the car by then, but when it comes to resale people always want to have it tested hence my concern...

im so confused on what i should do on my car lol, if i turbo it its not gonna pass smog 5 years later or should i save all that money and trade in for something like sti

lol no doubt...the thought of a new sti or evo is tempting but I love em civics...

Come on i know someone out there has got an answer for this....

i dont think most people will know since they do not have to smog their civic for atlest another 3 year.

well i think they greddy stuff passes but not certain. If not just run this QTP - QTEC Electric Cutout then the other side 2-3 cats back to back. XD could work who knows

that's a pretty cool part, I've never seen one of those before....

Ok, there has to be someone out there who has tried to pass aircare with an older civic or another ride running the greddy kit with the same setup....anyone???
