I thought VMP was in the process of getting CARB certified but it's been a few years and still no E.O. #. Wonder what happened? I'm guessing lots of sales lost because of this.
A lot of what they sell isn't emissions compliant in CA, and they wont sell this stuff to CA without a signed waiver acknowledging the implications of this equipment.Wow,......I always thought that VMP did all their equipment and tunes to be fully emissions compliant??
Now that you mention that, I did read that myself.A lot of what they sell isn't emissions compliant in CA, and they wont sell this stuff to CA without a signed waiver acknowledging the implications of this equipment.
I agree with probably so. I think I could get one in CA too, just need to sign their emissions waiver (basically affirming I'm aware it's legal for off-road vehicle only in CA, and aware of the consequences). Not much chance of passing a smog check with it though.I wonder if I wanted a VMP Gen 3 if I could get one here in MA? Probably so. Maybe this just affects CA?
That sucks man. But to be honest, the Roush supercharger is pretty ballsy as well and can handle some power. Good luck man!
...Even after reading many posts about doing the OPGs I didn't realize just how difficult it was going to be to re-install the lower bolt for the oil pump pickup tube, this might help. I cut a piece of plastic (empty milk bottle) used a cheap paper hole puncher to put a perfect size hole in it and cut a slot to get the bolt into the hole. Bent it about 45* along length for a little rigidity. This inserted between the captive washer & bold head allowed me to align the bolt and feed it into the hole while turning it gently by the threads using needlenose until started. Once started.... WHEEEEW! the rest was easy! Don't forget to put some clean rags underneath in the pan to stop any parts or tools from dropping in!View attachment 1555347
Since you're replacing anyway, this is a lot easier with the radiator out.
