most ppl that bought sr’s that i kept in touch with seemed to pass with no problems as long as they had a good cat converter and a working o2 sensor. My sr passed much cleaner then my ka did and i had many mods done, and a 150,000km on my cat. So, you should not have any troubles !!! ---

Mine passed just yesterday. It was unbelievebly clean, but it may have been a combination of things. I have a magnaflow super 40(3"), the probe wouldn’t fit deep enough into the muffler, had to get a 4"pipe and fit it over the exh. tip and insert the probe in there. I also ran 1 bottle of “guaranteed to pass”, Ultra 94. Also new (5000km) walker (3") high flow cat. all my readings were 25% upper limit, except CO = 0, yes zero, dillution 7.6 of 11. Oil Changers on vicotria st. Kitchener. James likes 240’s ---

I know a gentlemen who will do e-test on them in kitchener and says the pass no problem… he also told me if you goto Nissan and get proof that the SR20 is a factory motor, just never sold in North American… he can then do a different type of e-test which is not standard and says they always pass… “which he say is usally done on jdm honda motors” R K Auto Sales… Off Courtland Ave near the expressway ---

no one here has an egr in place… most ppl still pass without it…u dont even need an egr…sr20’s emit farrr less then ka24’s…thats why the mileage is sooo much better on them when they are installed properly… ---

yeah, Jedi touched on something too. Mine was tested as a “hot-rod” cause the engine isn’t the stock one. My car has no: EGR, AIV, or carbon canister ---

OK so I contacted Rick at Brantford Nissan and let him know of the situation here is what he wrote back to me : I have checked the Drive Clean SOP (standard operating procedures) manual. It states that the vehicle in question should be tested as a hotrod. It will have to meet the emission standards for the year 1980 ( yes its a separate test). The SOP states that it’s up to the owner to provide proof that the engine is not the original. In most cases it will be obvious (V8 in a Honda) but for the SR20DET (hopefully you’re referring to the turbo), I know it’s not a Canadian motor but some other test facility might require more info. A dealer should be able to supply a letter to that effect but that’s up to the store management. Hope this helps. Rick So it seems as someone already stated that we can get it done as a “hotrod” im not sure if the e-testing in this category are any more lenient but its worth the investigation…BUT then again from what everyone posted its not a problem to just get it tested as is !! ---
