I was driving home one night and the cops pulled me over and his excuse was that he heard my BOV.

He took photos of my exhaust, BOV and filter.

Today i received a letter from the EPA to take my car in for inspection.

Before my car is inspected I have to put my stock exhaust, filter and BOV back on.

Not Happy.

Did anyone else experience this??

Cheers

As long as you pass the noise level of 90dba your exhaust should be fine as long as you are running a cat. Get rid of the BOV if it is external. Also, you are allowed 1 mod to your intake, so if you have a air pod and not an aftermarket intercooler you should be fine.

Well thats my experience anyway.

air pods are not permited sorry, exhausts are fine as long as you have engineer papers, and anything that changes the fuel ratio of your engine will fail your test, eg cams, computer, injectors, stuf like that.

      Stunning car.  Looks amazing!  You're in the UK?  How the hell do you stop your car rotting away beneath you?  British cars are the WORST I've ever seen in regards to rust.  Some of the cars SR Autobody have done are borderbeyond saving.

      RB20 and 25 NEO differences

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      I have up to date pics of the engine build and turbo conversion over on my instagram @skpro_jects if you want to take a deeper look.   Basically the exhaust manifold is straight bolt on and the ports match (they arent any smaller than a 25 or 26 head).    the intake ports are different shape so the 20/25det manifold will bolt up but wont match properly or seal. You will need to port match using the 25det gasket as a stencil. Personally i ran the entire stock 20neo intake setup and have configured the swirl valves and torque valve to work based on my custom parameters to help with off boost response and spool. But this is using a standalone aem v2 ecu. The stock 20det ecu wont be able to control them.

      Hi. a little later but if the topic is here. So...the exhaust is the same and you can use 25/Turbo or any aftermarket? What about intake side? Is it too "plug n play" or? (i do not remember for 100% but i think that one intake to head gasket was little bit different than on the RB25 - i bought gasket kit way back) I know that even if it "plug" those butterfly swirls would cause ECU to be confused or?   Just asking for the info 🙂 and of course the RB25 things are easier to come by
