Thinking about doing the homemade oil catch can DIY on this forum. but i was wonder are they legal or illegal?? looking at both the passeger side oil catch can and driver side beather??? any links will help??

 

:ico n22:

PLEASE close this thread

 

... what would make it illegal?

 

No, nobody will care.

End of thread.

 

It's illegal...according to emission standards. Basically you cannot modify anything PCV wise, and the catchcan is doing just that. Some smog shops probably won't care, some may ask you to put everything back to stock. I'm sure officers might give you **** about it too.

 

so how about those Lakers guys lol jk

to piggyback off of vthao yes it is illegal. i was actually at a smog shop when this happen to some random guy and he was told to remove it. my .02

 

Illegal. My buddy is doing 1 to 5. Should be out in 2 years with good behavor.

 

LOL is this a joke?

 

what is a catch can?

 

I see you're in Ca. Catch can is illegal here.

 

cali has the worst emission standards. i can see the oil catch can NOT being illegal cuz pretty much do is filter the air cleaner back into the engine should be legal. but the breather vent air out to which it makes illegal which i have read on here. ya the pigs will give me %$#$ about the oil catch can...specially right now they have been pulling people over crazy in my area due to the buget cut....sh&t everything in cali has to be stamp with a c.a.r.b sticker...

 

and remember there are no more ref's since the budget cuts...

 

thread still open?

 

I wounder if one of the nOOBs is going to start a thread about your friend, wondering if he is on SteroIDs.

 

 

i heard refs were reinstated in cali

 

I'm not sure about that, seems like that would be one of the last things they would start back up. They make more money by making you go to court and pay bigger fines.

 

Effective immediately, CAP Repair Assistance and Vehicle Retirement service contracts, as well as the Referee contract, have been reinstated. Today, October 6, 2008, services provided under the CAP contracts may resume. Consumers can contact CAP at (866) 272-9642.

The Referee Scheduling Center will be open on Wednesday, October 8, 2008, to begin scheduling appointments. Consumers can contact the Referee at (800) 622-7733.

 

OK, I'll bite... Why the heck would this be illegal? You're capturing blowby oil and reusing it, rather than burning it... You're STILL not releasing the oil fumes into the atmosphere, so... what's the problem?

I would think that even in Cali-EPA-fornia, it would not only be legal, but perhaps even preferable.

Someone help me out here...

 

changes the emissions system and does not have a CARB number = illegal in Cali. Doesn't have to make sense, it is government.
