so what do you guys think will my car pass nj state inspection. i have a B16 manifold with no egr CAI and a really loud catback system, and a adjustable cam gear.

oh crap probably not.
you don't think i can adjust the cam gear for low emissions because i really don't feel like putting the other manifold back on just for emissions
sorry buddy, but it doesn't sound like you will pass it. still give it a try.
Don't feel bad i'm having problems with emissions to. Although i think i will pass this time.
i think the main problem would be the CAI unless you got one that is approved. just pop the hood and ask the mechanic if it will pass before you pay anything. that's what i did, and it finally passed at the 5th guy i went to. (and it was really clean).
I have basically the same setup down here in Maryland and my emissions test is the 18th.... I know that my car should pass because emission standards back in the 80's weren't anywhere as strict as they are now.... As long as your car is tuned and runnning good it should pass.... You're in Jersey right???
well you have no egr, that's probably why most of the guy's here are saying your not gonna pass.
Since you are running a b16 mani., does your ECU throw a code because you don't have the EGR hooked up.... My car has never thrown a code and I also run a b16 mani.... Because if you really think about it all the EGR does is route used gases back into the engine so that the gases that weren't properly burnt off get a recond chance to be but if it's done correctly the first time then you wouldn't have any need for the EGR...
Joker2, https://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?t=34225 that is the thread concerning the effects of blocking the EGR, they are not always good.
hmm... so you think i should put on my old manifold befor inspection or will it pass naturally
does ayone else of a B16 manifold with an egr hooked up? or can i ghetto rig it so that the egr will still work with the B16 manifold?
The B16 does not use EGR. You would have to custom mount the EGR from the old manifold onto the new one, witch is not so easy since the egr runs through a pipe from the exaughst to the intake manifolds. Honestly you should just try it as is on the test and if you fail swap over the old intake.Quote:

ummm for emmissions do we have to meet emmissions for new cars or just the the year the car was built? We don't have to meet the new ones do we?
Just the year the car was built..... That's why I think we should be OK because emissions laws weren't as strict as they are now....
OK, I just got back from my test and I failed... :lol: But it wasn't the EGR that doomed me, it was the fact that I had the fuel pressure pumped up to like 42psi so the computer read my car as being too rich... Go figure, and I keep telling myself last night to put the FPR back to stock.... So what I'll do is adjust it and then take the car to this shop that can do the readings... That way I won't waste my free test taking it back to emissions and not knowing if it'll pass or not...
