3gste passing MA emissions - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #56789 12 posts Started by rivs
Hi guys, I'm a new member and this is my first post so please forgive me if this has been answered already.

I have seen a few people that have done the 3sgte swap that live in mass. I am interested in doing the swap for a 3rd gen 3sgte(jdm) but was wondering if anyone has passed the emissions?

Thanks for any input,

rivs
with a cat you can get it to pass emissions, probably smile.gif

the visual inpsection might be a different story though. I know how things work in RI and MA is different but presure2 (he's in mass too) knows a lot more about this. I'm sure he'll be along in the morning to give better info than I can.

96^ won't pass, you need OBDII, they hook the tester up to you car.
I'm guessing you have a 95, so you're fine there.
You'll shouldn't have a problem passing the emissions part, assuming the engine is in a good state of tune.

Technically you'll fail a visual [no EGR], but 99.9% of inspectors won't know what they're looking at, so you should be fine.

Where are you located?

Thanks for the info. I live in western mass, near springfield.

That is very good news! Looks like I lucked out with the 95!
my 94 hatch with stock exhaust and a stock 2nd gen jdm 3sgte passed the sniffer test. Luckily they did no visual check since there is no egr smile.gif

PS: this is north shore mass

i wish i was a 96 frown.gif

You have a 3SGTE, don't you?
How are you getting around it?
You would actually have to be a 95 to avoid the scanner.

is this only for ma?

You say you don't understand how we go dumb, but have you ever been where i'm from?-=-] Livin it in tha bay's a lil different [-=-
I'm sure - individual states determine their own laws on this. I officially hate Mass now. Good for you guys - out City is "cracking down" on that now so it's difficult to even find anybody willing to do it for $100 anymore. Luckily my friend just found a guy.
$100/yr is a small price to pay for this engine tho.
Cali would probably be the last state to pass that one.
