Emissions
The topics of emissions, emissions compliance, and emissions testing may often cause anxiety with members of the custom vehicle community. With proper project planning, the topic of emissions should not cause stress. Whether you reside in an area that requires biannual testing, or that does not require any testing - you are still required by law to retain and properly maintain all of the original vehicle emissions equipment.
The use of catalytic converters and an EVAP system should be considered a base emissions starting point for all LSx powered custom vehicles. The use of these two emissions components was the cornerstone for the development of the GMPP (now Chevrolet Performance) LSx E-Rod kits, which are CARB certified.
This is simply a responsible approach, does not reduce the power output of the engine, and costs very little if undertaken at the planning stage of the project. Please feel free to email us with emissions related questions regarding your LSx project. LRtronix will not knowingly contravene any emissions regulation or statute.
Further, emissions compliance may open up a larger resale marketplace. For some people, their automotive collection may represent a significant portion of their future Estate. Many hope that their prized vehicles will be remain in their family after their death. All to often these vehicles end up at auction, sometimes in the USA. The population of the state of California alone is roughly equal to all of Canada, and California has some of the most stringent registration requirements for vehicles. The use of catalytic converters and an EVAP system will often be sufficient to allow a custom vehicle to be registered anywhere in North America.
