Hey All

Looking forward to the York install via FB's brackets.

Curious what the actual function is of the PAIR valve and if its removal will possibly cause problems with the CA smog nazis.

I have been itching to get a York into my 80 for a long time and really looking forward to this mod.

I have installed probably a dozen or so OBA systems on Heeps over the years with great success so i will be doing a complete and detailed writeup on this as well.

Any info on this PAIR valve would be great! No one really seems to know its function! Dan?
I dont know, but that is a good question that i am curious about, as i am getting ready to do this and install a York!

I guess the 95+ dont have a pair valve, so SOMETHING is taking care of this. Any insight?

Thanks

EDIT: FOUND THE ANSWER IN ANOTHER THREAD I will keep this here in case anyone has any insight!

The vehicle will fail the emissions visual test. It does not matter if it sniffs clean, it still fails.

If you could find one of the now-discontinued PAIR valve relocation kits made by TRD to accomidate a supercharger, that would satisfy that problem.
