Is Stillen still the only CARB certified and CA legal FI kit available? I know Greddy has CARB #'s for some of their kits, but after researching their website and a couple others, neither state conclusively whether or not it is. Anyone know of other options?

Best Regards,

JWT Twin Turbo Kit is currently going through CARB approval/certification. Hopefully we will hit that hit the markets in a few months.

 

Stillen and Vortech are the only 2 with CARB right now.

JWT is still having some issues passing the CARB cert, but they are working very hard to get through them.

 

when that happens market is going o go crazy with that kit....

 

they have been working on that for some time now hope everything goes well.

 

Anyone with update regarding the APS twin turbo system?

 

All TTs will have issues with cold start emissions. I know because the GReddy kit for testing is on my car and they are awaiting a test date to see if it passes.

 

Last I heard, APS submitted their kit for CARB exemption in December. They did mention that they were having a very hard time getting it even close to Ca emission standards. In this case, I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

USN HM 350Z, where did you confirm that the Vortech is CARB exempt? I looked at their website and it still read "CARB PENDING".

Seems like JWT has been working a very long time to get CARB exemption. There hasn't been any real progress since Sept. In reality, most of the systems on the market which is legal in other states may remain in "pending" status for a very long time and NEVER get CARB exemption.

 

how hard is it to register out of state ... like in AZ for instance ?
If i know someone in AZ can I apply and use there mailing address ?

 

The only way I can think of getting away with that is if the car is registered from a person LIVING in AZ. If you get stopped in Cali. for the out of state plate, and you show a Cali driver's license, you'll get cited and you'll be forced to get it registered in Cali.

 

Last update I remember reading had them making very good progress.

The main population centers in Arizona have emissions testing. Here there are small towns that do not and you could register it there but there are several problems with that approach.

1) It is illegal. The vehicle is supposed to be registered where you live.
2) There may also be an insurance issue unless it is insured where it is registered.
3) The town in which you register it may very well ask for proof of residency especially if they know your last residency had emissions testing. Arizona, at least, is on to this ploy of avoiding emissions for state residences. Don’t ask me how I know.
4) When the vehicle is eventually sold you may be liable unless you advise the new owner that the vehicle is not emissions legal.

The turbo kit companies trying to gain Carb approval are not doing it for the hell of it.

 

all you have to do is join the army...... i have always been exempt from these inspections the last 8 yrs.......... jk..

 

The search button on this website sent me to a thread that had this document in it. http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/pdf/D-213-22.pdf

Maybe I just know how to use the search button better than you. Maybe you're just lazy.

 

Anything more recent then 1/16/2006 for APS?

 

Wasn't ATI Procharger CARB legal as well ?
