MD Emissions ?
About 4 months ago i recieved a letter saying i need my emissions inspection. I replied to the letter saying i was getting my motor rebuilt(which i wasn't) and they haven't bothered me since. My question is, does not having your emissions done go on your MVA record? Will my registration get canceled or does the inspection fee just keep getting higher? I have a single turbo setup and i don't have any inside connections. What should i do? Thanx

Weird Cat Man
A single turbo FD will pass emissions with the proper setup. Mine has passed 3 times so far
You need a stock cat (don't need precat)
Airpump off a corvette (search the forum) wired up to run only for a short burst when you need it at the test
1 gallon of denatured alcohol (home depot) dumped into 1/4 tank gas
15:1 AFR tuned map in vacuum

maryland inspections suck. i went with just a catback and failed the hydrocarbons, the limit was 1.0000 GPM and i had 1.8825 then i came back 2 months later with a 3" dp and gutted maincat and again i failed hydrocarbons but this time my reading was 7.6392 and the people had no idea why it was so much higher. it was pretty funny when i saw how high it was.

Your license will be suspended if you do not get your second notice taken care of, you might want to call and check out your status..and yes they add fines every day I believe until you get it done...

It Just Feels Right
As long as you have a decent cat you should be able to pass. They will suspend your tags at some point. Just keep asking for VEIP extensions, as long as you have a good excuse they'll give it to you.

Spend 450 dollars or... have someone write a receipt for 450 dollars that pertains to EFI/Fuel system/Engine rebuild/turbo rebuild/catalytic converter etc. It's the only legal way to pass emissions without smog equipment.

They gave me $150 credit for doing the work myself, so you may only need to "spend" $300. And only certain types of repairs count, they have a list, things like a new catback or anything not having to do with the emissions doesn't work.

Thanx for the info. I guess i'll have to do some coilovers and a cat since i don't know anyone around here for a hook-up(kind of new to MD). My suspension is all shot anyways. Damn these emissions. Every 2 years right?

vkotis:
they cant do the treadmill test in the rain as well. so take it when its raining.
also, try taking it to the emissions station in Hyattsville, MD...
i had heard they let tons of things slide there, so thats where i went, and i fast-passed the treadmill test (stock cat and catback, no pre-cat) but smoke was pouring out front under my car because my rear engine seal leaks. the guy just made sure none leaked on the floor, asked me what it was, and let me go on my way.
