Yellow sticker after 2 n half years (having to do Emission test) help!

**Limbo** · 19-03-2010 12:13 PM

i'm adding more breather piping to the rocker cover & plumbing them to a catch can and back to the pre-turbo intake. Been told it helps high comp & high revving engines.

(ie: cost you time & money....over and over an over)

How else do you think those people with brand new, unmodified cars get yellowed?

Just for your own info dude before you think im clueless.. this is my 15th yellow sticker on my civic, including 1 Red sticker (Tow away on the spot). Also had 3 yellow stickers on my s15's

I have 5 sheets full of permits from Department of vehicle and Reg, and now i will have a list of 80 modifications sign off sheet by the Engineer. Not to sure if you've had an engineers modified permit but it deffinatly goes threw the department of Vehicle and Reg before you can actually get the certificate so its not just a PRIVATE sheet of paper, its also signed off by vehicle and reg.

I know the rigmaroll with cops and i know how to handle them when they say "your going to get a yellow son" ive wiggled and talked my way out of over 20 of those occasions.

I know its not something ill ever be able to stop perminatly with the way my car is BUT having Permits, having Signed off and registered enginner certificates are going to be a hell of a lot easier to say things "shut the fek up pig thats my wastegate not at BOV" lol i rarely get violent with police as it usually create alot more damage than good. BUT at times when a cop is giving you a yellow for something he hasnt even got a clue about i will defend myself. One time a cop was trying to tell me that my steering wheel was to small. I told him the minimum alowed size your are alowed to have and i told him to messure mine and that it was larger than that. He we went back to his car called up vehicle and reg and came back to me and appologized. He still gave me a yellow in the end but at least ill have sh1t to back myself up this time.

Yeh some of those multi input catch cans are great. U can even create a custom second port on your head cover on the other side for extra breathing room. Just put all of those to 1 catch including the PCV and then one pipe directly back to the pre-turbo instake. Makes life much easier but i only have 1 port on my catch...i guess i could make an extra one

actually i might

i'm using 13mm piping. Just used abit of other tube to bring the size up.
I don't think the bends make any difference. i didn't bother with them.

Cops always harrass you for breathers so less work for me both ways.

So you think 13mm piping is the right size for breathing?

I'll pick up some sard Silicone hitemp piping from hozemart this arvo.

I dont want to be paying $700-$1200 for a test that isnt perminant if thats the case. Fek that joke

The 5 Gas Test is $110 at Road Bend(welshpool). For IM240, you should be expecting above. I don't think it's worth for you to do 5 gas test now as the IM240 will 'very soon' be implemented/resume. + heard news that kostecki's licence to perform im240 is cancelled.

I'm in shit as well, my permit expires next month. With PCV on turbo honda, you'll want catch can straight off it but to make it legal, as you would hv knew, just run a 13mm air hose from the catch can to pre turbo pipe as Chris (04051192..) said

Dude, 15 Yellows sounds like you're on very rocky road.

Hit me a PM if you want my number, perhaps if you want to look at my supposedly 'legal' setup.

meeeh i only have 1 TURBO HONDA if its ur asking?

i was running fine with it attached and kccord is similar set up as me is too running fine..

hey kev may be u try taking it off? and see if it works? LOL...

**Limbo** · 19-03-2010 01:22 PM

i hang around a shop that fabs up alot of honda turbo setups.
On my second setup myself and seen alot of differnt configs.

**FastFwd** · 19-03-2010 01:25 PM

I blew my motor a while back and it was suspected that i was putting pressure threw the PCV which shouldnt have. I think blocking the IM and running it threw the catch is the best way IMO, makes more logical sence.

Sorry i tried to look for "road Bend" as the business name but i couldnt find it. Is that what its called? or is that the road name...little confused.

Could you give me more detail on this.
