If the car was not manufactured for the country it is being inspected for, it would likely fail a mechanical inspection as each country has it's own little quirks
about emission equipment (such as catalytic converters and EGR systems), and some even restrict which engine you can have to those that had been previously certified for that country.
Like the Trans Am, the revived Camaro Z28 was an instant hit and was powered by a 350 cubic - inch V8 with four - barrel carburetor and 185 horsepower (175 horses with
California emissions equipment), with most cars sold equipped with air conditioning and an automatic transmission for a comfort - oriented public.
[10] The engine also received
new emissions equipment, consisting of two catalytic converters, an air pump, and an air control valve, which robbed the 2.0 four of some power.
The tester's final price of $ 36,950 included $ 270 for a trailer - towing group, $ 170 for California -
legal emissions equipment, $ 20 for an ashtray and lighter and $ 580 for freight.
An inspection of
air emissions equipment every two years is required for renewing vehicle registration for most of Clark, King, Pierce, Snohomish and Spokane counties.
Such an engine offering would offer an improvement in fuel economy greater than a diesel, without the heavy weight of a diesel engine, (usually a few 100 # s), nor the cost and complexity of a diesel clean up
emissions equipment suite.
The Bel Air's E-ROD system balances the 430 horses of an LS3 6.2 L V - 8 with
emissions equipment designed to help vehicles meet increasingly stringent emissions requirements.
@tlhlngan «each country has it's own little quirks

The inspector views to see that
all emissions equipment is in place.
Something to keep in mind regarding diesel dragsters is that they do not use
any emissions equipment to more effectively burn unburned fuel and oil contained in diesel fuel which is essentially kerosene.
SAE net power ratings (used since 1972) were taken from the engine crankshaft as before, but now all accessories had to be attached and operating, and
all emissions equipment and a full production exhaust system had to be in place.
All Duramax Colorados get a diesel - exclusive exhaust brake and integrated trailer brake controller, along with all
the emissions equipment that allow the engine to pass EPA standards.
Meets current EPA and CARB standards California version differs slightly due to emissions equipment
There is also a separate, federally mandated warranty on exhaust and
emissions equipment, and on the onboard diagnostic service that is the same for everybody.
Tightening legislation required existing power plants to upgrade
their emission equipment with some owners simply electing to close the facility as the upgrade was too expensive.
