Sick burn yo. What's your ride?
>>13950607
Its the air pump on the front of the engine that feeds in extra air on cold starts, it's a huge part of the emissions system.....I literally just went out and took a picture of the engine in my E320. My ML 430 has the exact same setup. Do Euro spec cars not have the secondary air injection system?
>>13950654
Apparently not - I was looking at a few of the same engines the last time I was at the scrappers, none of them had it either
>>13950420
This except without any of this because I took the head out to replace burnt exhaust valve and am just now getting around to putting it back together.
muh shitbox
>>13950671
Weird. It's an electric air pump, so it's not like it saps power off the engine.... They must have been able to pass EU emissions without it

Quite a few guys running straight piped Camaro's and Mustangs in NC. They just tune the codes away, and most local shops don't give that much of a shit to do actual testing.
I've heard it's a shit load more intense in California, and the west coast in general

It's just plug the computer into the OBDII port, and if there are no codes, you pass.
The annual safety inspection is a joke as well.

>>13950889
Possibly. Depends on the model year, the issue with the car, and whether it will illuminate the check engine light once the system is ready.
>>13950889
Might work for removing some of the evap system that isn't cycling all the time but removing things like the after cat 02 sensor will immediately throw a code, you need to simulate the signal
>>13950889
I took out my charcoal canister for the evap system and just left he sensor hooked up (vent to atmosphere like a real man) and reset it when it goes off every once and a while for mass air leak code.
No problem passing inspection.

No, they aren't. I'm a technician at a Chevy dealership, they are fucking garbage. Just because you have a good one doesn't mean they all are good. You just got lucky.
>>13950837
yeah, it's very much of a 'if you know a guy" situation with emissions testing here in NC. If you have a connection in a shop, you never have to worry about passing.
Basically, state inspection is a way for shops to try and drum up business every year with car-ignorant people.

>>13951969
cooler intake temps
>>13951969
OP here. Not sure what you mean by lagging, but I wrapped the intake section closest to the engine with some leftover thermal tape. Lower intake temps slightly. Honestly won't give any real HP improvements, but also doesn't hurt, and looks cool, so why not. Can always just reinstall the stock box if I decide to resell.
I don't have a better shot of it atm.
I really need to get rid of it already.

LT-Juan
>>13952027
Yeah, because air rushing in at 300cfm through a plastic pipe that's still cool enough to touch is going to transfer any measurable heat...
I'm willing to bet any difference in intake temps is completely offset by the weight of the insulation tape.
>>13950867
>>13950837
Fucking this. My turbo shitbox has the catalytic converter in the downpipe. Got a high flow cat to replace it and started throwing the P0420 code i think it was - cat not working properly. Lost my mind trying to fix it, but ended up just turning the code off. Passed testing with no issues. Makes me wish I just got a catless pipe.
Annual emissions and inspections blow, just another way for the state to collect taxes.
>>13951586
Ugly color but awesome work
>>13952188
Like I said. Not expecting any real world HP bumps, but also not worried about a few ounces of thermal tape. Like I said, it can't hurt, and it looks cool, so I figured why not.
>>13952200
Move somewhere you don't have to deal with that shit. Like where I'm at, great scene no matter what you are into, lots of straights for drags, cum inducing amounts of mountains for too gay, no emissions (5 second drag cars are street legal), everyone is nice, shit is cheap. You just have to deal with nothing, other than people from not here judging you for living here because they're fucking retarded and never been here.

Oh please. I spent enough time there to know it's a fucking shithole. Don't wax poetic because you think your bumkin shitstain of a state is all that. The people there are literally walking stereotypes of southerners. Dumb as fuck and twice as sister-fucky.
And I like the south. Texas is the best state ever. Arkansas is cool. Oklahoma is sorta shit, mississipi is terrible, alabama is the asshole of the world, florida is ok, SC and NC are top notch, TN is nice in parts, Georgia was so/so, virginia was nice, west virginia was like going back in time 50 years, missouri is eh.
I've been everywhere son and Kentucky is on the top list of worst states ever. Sorry but that's my professional opinion. Don't take it personal. If you like it by all means keep fucking your cousin but stop dipping that shit will rot your mouth out.
>>13952318
Fucking this. I got my s2k almost a year ago, and I havnt met anyone cool that has one as well. That intake he has is almost 300 bucks... That goes a long way towards preventative maintenance or a chunk towards some real power. Or wheels and tires.

Your "professional" opinion is refuted by pretty much every agency that has ever performed a survey.
Arkansas is literally listed as one of the worst places to live, yet you say it's cool. Pray tell, what part of KY did you spend time in? And give me some specifics. What businesses did you visit? Tell me the bad experiences. I know the whole state, and the people. Please, let me make you look like the lying piece of dirt that you are.
apparently there's forced induction in there somewhere
>>13952387
There isn't tho, they just cram shit in there so you can't see that it's actually just a REALLY tightly wound rubber band that wears out after 100000 miles, then you take it in for service and they rewind it.

>>13952387
>>13952362
>You're the definition of cancer. No contributions, just criticism. Completely useless
I gave you compelling reasoning as to why your gimmicky shit does absolutely nothing, and correctly pointed you out as a ricer when you came back with nothing more than "but it looks cool".
People telling you what you may not want to hear does not equal cancer.

>>13952452
Doesn't understand what? He used thermal insulating tape to keep heat (thermal stuff) out. Sounds like he knows that. Yeah, he said it looks cool, and he's wrong as fuck about that, but it does work.

Also a comparatively decent engine bay to fiddle around in compared to the RB25's and 26's. There where some parts that aren't so great around the manifold/turbo area where you kind of have to be careful when ripping stuff off or running piping (or it catches on fire) but aside from that, whole top end was easy to get to.

I had the money to buy an S2000 once, and I nearly did. But every single one in a 75 mile radius of me was either slammed, or had 175,000+ miles or had a salvage title. To be fair, there was a decent one. "75000 miles like new honda run 4ever no lowballers i know what i got $20,000"
This is me nigger rigging some sensor that failed.
Gave me 0.125HP boost.

I'll be honest, haven't got the start it because my abusive father damaged the car shoving it out the back of the farm. When I get onto it though shit will be a giggle. Mostly cause I stuffed that bitch up in a mkI 1984 MR2 . I can feel the death from here.
>>13954943
Aw yis, like a glove. Makes me feel good about my shitty life owning this car. Along with the RWD prelude it's beautiful.
>>13954921
In this setup (VEMS+DCCD gearbox) 3.3l n/a H6 putting out approx 270HP it is definitely superior to EJ20 H4 with turbo, because there is no turbo lag and it pulls even at 1500rpm (really cool for dinamic city driving where you don't want to go full throttle all the time). WRX Imprezas don't stand a chance, haven't tried to race any STi`s though.
Plus I wanted a car that goes but doesn`t draw much attention (I have no scoop and spoiler is going next year).
>>13954959

>>13954959

>>13954961
I`m not sure about whole build (upgrades include shocks, most of transmission parts, brakes e.t.c.) but difference in engine weight is approx 40kg (80lbs).
>>13955009
neat, ive been searching for that info and couldnt find any
are you using the stock ECU?
>>13954962
I didn`t do wiring myself, but it has standalone ECU to make life easier.
