Hi there. I have an 02 civic SiR, and I'm looking into the rev hard street kit. From my research, It seems the most bang for your buck system, and quiet complete. The only thing is the disclaimer about CARB emissions. I am in ontario canada, so we do not have CARB emissions standards, but I was wondering if anybody can confirm or deny if a car with this kit can pass any sort of emissions test, or if anybody around me has any experience with this.

Are you using a kit or going custom ? And according to revhard, it fails carb because of the bigger injectors. I failed my first etest with a perfectly working cat, just because I had a bad O2 sensor. So I don't know what a turbo would do

Depending on what ur emissions testing consists will decide if you fail or not. If its just a quick ob2 scan then u won't fail, as long as u have no cel light on.

As of right now, It's a sniffer test. Curb idle, and at speed. It failed, by a pretty large margin, when I had a bad O2

can almost guarantee it will not pass the emissions test just by the visual...

It matters what the visual consists of. Ours here is just to see if u have a cat. Which most places dont even bother to do anymore anyways

i passed emissions when i was boosted with flying colors, running the car on the dyno and all. i had a 3" exhaust with a cat on it though so it was a little quiet and also no codes.
