I have a question regarding the supercharger kit from Kenne Bell. I noticed when I was printing information that it states "Not Legal for sale or use in California on pollution controlled motor vehicles, For competition use only". Does this mean that If I even purchase this Big Bore 2.6L kit they wont actually allow me to purchase it because I'm in California? I didn't know they would go to that extreme of not even selling it to me because I'm in cali. Does anyone in cali have this kit?

I just though since it stated that little note in the disclaimer that they wouldn't even try to sell it to someone in cali. I know I wont pass smog but I have a few places that I can go to... just have to pay xtra. I don't know if those places are still in business but they did it for me when I was NA-T on my supra. The only risk I'm running is getting pulled over and having them do an inspection. The KB will be going on a built motor so I'm hoping to get some nice numbers out of the KB.

you can buy it, but you just wont pass smog when it comes time for you to go for emissions testing... I believe because it wont have a CARB-EO# like the street legal smaller KB blower
They SELL them from California, why couldn't you BUY one from California...? I think it's to tell you that you can't use it on a street registered car in Kalifornia...
But... you can buy them for legal use on a "track car" or trailer car. Hell, go to the southeast of this country and you probably don't need smog restrictions, safety checks or insurance to drive your car.

Well we are not saying that you cant buy one here casue you can, im saying that it dont have a CARB-EO# on it cause that is what the cops look for. If alot of us run O/R midpipes out here in Cali why not competition blowers
same principle applies if you get caught its a nice ticket with fineAll that is is a disclaimer from them saying that they warned you about the intended use of that blower

you should still be able to buy it, just dont get caught.
hmm... maybe I should reconsider getting them, but since I already have a Bassani mid-length headers, might as well take a risk
seriously though, please tell me the fine is $1,000 or less

kinda off topic but can you pass visual inspection with nitrous in CA?
Looks like I might have to pull all my wiring for smog

Hmm..I could try to mask the solenoids lol. The wiring is loomed up pretty good. The only thing you really notice is the n2o/fuel lines. And my fuel pressure gauge...

After thinking about this, i'm kind of scared. I'm going to take a long hard look at the 2.1 version for the time being.

well i would go with the 2.1L since its smog legal and you can up the boost on it but then you have to worry about your motor
Well I have a long list of mods that I'm doing and I find it kind of hard to stay smog legal. I must say that it will be hard to not drive it and just keep it as a track or trailer car. This is not the only car that I have but I know I'll be tempted to drive it on the street once in awhile... but then I run the chance of getting pulled over or worse getting the car impounded.
