Just curious about how the guys who are running turbo's are passing emissions?

Does, the car just pass without much fuss from the DMV, or do you have to take drastic measures such as removing the turbo, to pass?

Oh yeah, how is Clint's SC300 tt passing emissions?

I have the SC4 but from what I've heard emissions isn't a problem. I've heard of turbo supras passing emissions WITHOUT cats(Anyone wanna set me straight, or am I right?). I would suspect it is a non issue. The hardest part for those guys is keeping the tires from spinning ...

Speaking of which, I'm thinking about maaaaaaybeeee trading my SC4 for a 300... hmmm anyhow, emissions, N/P.

well here in Alabama....they don't check for emissions. Didn't even know what they were until I joined clublexus.

MS does not check either...

It depends on the state. Here in IL it's kind of a problem. I belive that's why they keep the stock cats and echaust and put it on every two years to pass the emitions. Funny thing with turbo is you can turn down the boost. So normally what they do is turn down the boost, put stock echaust on and drive around atleast 30 min before doing the emissions.

I had never owned a supra, so I may not be correct.

toyomoto designs there turbo kit so you can put back the stock midpipe with cat to go through emmissions checks....this is another beauty of the toyomoto kit.....the 1st year i had my kit we had emmissions and i put the stock mid pipe back in and passed the visual<mirror under the car looking for cats...> and sniffer test even with 440cc injectors...Jeff

They do a visual test in FL? Hmmm, I wonder if they do such a thing in IL. I don't remember seeing anyone stick a mirror under the car. Heheh.

Northern Indiana and Illinois (Chicago area) both have pretty strict visuals. They won't test if you have a tiny leak anywhere in the exhaust system. Also, the new dyno tests SUCK. Get your car well-tuned up before you go. If you are off at all, they beat your car on the dyno to 55mph and you will fail if your car isn't really perfectly performing (60% failure rate on the dynos).

ROFL and they wonder why we live here and why all the fastest street cars in the states are from here and our friendly non-emissions neighboring states!!!
