on our cars of course.. yeah i saw on the add that greddy are carb legal just not sure of its really confirmed since i still see people having problems with cops with their greddy.. and its hard to believe it is when it doesnt come with cat con

 

greddy is not carb legal or legal for street use. at least it wasnt last i checked

 

they have a carb legal kit for the s2k, saw it advertised in a magazine

 

my dsm has a greddy and its carb legal.....see the only problem is u buy the carb legal kit but u void the carb legal ness when u add boost gauges and vac blocks, those vac lines u guys use arnt carb legal u have to use OEM grade lines which are costly and u add an exhaust to that carblegal turbo and u arnd carb legal anymore.....no cats... plus moddifying emission in cali is a big no no

 

i guess dezod is racing with the decendant kit with this carb legal stuff huh. is it for all ur turbo applications or just the dezod s1 kit?

 

Just the S1

 

is it going to affect pricing of the s1 kit?

 

It may.


We are considering making a strictly CARB approved version of the kit and the rest will be sold like normal now.

 

woah oh so u mean people that bought s1 kits prior to CARB approval of the new ones wouldnt be approved? sorry for the 20 questions sir! lol ! oh one last thing...power wise...would there be a difference? will this kit make more or less power? again sorry for being nosy about the new kit! thanks!

 

I can not answer much of this at this time due to the fact we are trying to get the approval at this moment.

 

not so sure how CARB really works but if the turbo kit is CARB legal and you put like gauges and other stuff like you mentioned, why would the turbo kit not be legal anymore? Should the turbo kit still be legal and the other stuff not since they are not part of the turbo kit? And gauges are just monitoring devices and does not do anything to with regards to emission.. if so, damnn... might as well CARB legal my aftermarket radio lol

 

its not the gauges them selves that are not carb legal...its the vacuum hoses that they come with, they are not oem material and all vac sources are emission.....so non oem material vac hoses are not carb legal.....you get what im trying say, to be completely carb legal car u need a carb legal turbo kit and all vacuum lines needa be carb legal and a stock exhaust

 

in that case, need a tester? ...

 

so the s1 turbo kit will pass smog? im thinking about buying a turbo kit right now. how long till u guys find out about the emssion thing. is this gonna be a whole new turbo kit?

 

and like the other guy said about the guages will this come with carb legal guages?

 

for teh people with s1 kits will they be able to convert there stuff to carb legal

 

THE GAUGES ARENT CARB ILLEGAL ITS THE VACUUM HOSES THAT ARE ILLEGAL JUST GO TO PEPBOYS AND BUY VACUUM HOSES THAT ARE OEM GRADE!!!!

 

So I know CARB is primarily a California thing, right? But does this mean that I'd be able to run a CARB legal turbo here in Maryland and pass emissions testing without going back to N/A?

Would it pass emissions testing without being CARB legal and just running both cats?

Thanks, I'm a newbie in FI.

 

here in maryland you can pass emissions with anything no your car just aslong as u dont have any check engines, they just passed a new bill taht states the emissions centers arnt to check for cats nor are they allowed to put you on sniffers if your car is obd2 which ours is, so aslong as you have no checkengine light or any codes pending your good to go, i had a stage zero kit and i had no cats i used a antifouler trick and i was able to pass

 

Hmm... I did not know that, I thought we were screwed here in MD with the emissions tests! Why did you need an antifouler trick though? Did you have a CEL? Sorry, just curious
