Raizer Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 What are the rules on bonnets?Is it sweet to roll with out one? I have heard of Rota guys getting certs to run without them, but why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewGuy Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Just as its easier to tune my carbs etc with them off, check the timing and make adjustments. While i get it running mint So it needs to be certed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ke36 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 i asked about no bonnet cert with my cert guy he said you can cert it as its not an actual wof requirement i.e no law stating you need one he said that as long as everything that is dangerous i.e pulleys belts etc is covered then its ok but its up to the cops discretion so id say you havent got a hope in hell in getting away with it lol dont know if its stated earlier and i cbf reading back but all engine repowers now require an emissions test which is an extra $120 ontop, not sure how strict the emissions tests are though can anyone shed some light?

Ke36 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 i rang cert man today regarding emissions shiz he said it has to pass a afr test and has to have a pcv valve for breathers etc asked him about aftermarket computers etc and he said there no problem doesnt have to run all the bullshit factory emissions he basically said its a loud of crap so sounds just like another way for them to charge $120 for sfa!!

Spencer Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 also heard if your engine was meant to have a cat from factory, it has to have one for certs but not confirmed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ke36 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 my car just passed on the msissions was like 13.3/13.4 at idel was fine on the other readings though not sure on the cat thing, my engine is an 89-92ish so wouldve thought they would have cats?but i dont and it wasnt a problem also need pcv valves on breathers etc, he said he has failed a few guys on the emissions since its come in but it was usually just the small stuff like hooking breather pipes up properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
