Yes. Out here it's called DEQ. I met with a few people out here who have been telling me not to sweat it, but let me tell you I was sweating it big time.
Firstly my 240, in general, was illegal as fuck in California. I couldn't even drive it on the street without worrying about getting an impound. Out here in Portland, I can pull up right beside a cop without him looking twice.
Secondly, my SR has a T28R (S15 Spec R turbo), boosting 11psi, and everything under the hood is illegal in California.
I had some worries about passing DEQ: I have no 02 sensors, the shit runs like it has cams, everything is polished, half the car is carbon fiber, and most importantly my check engine light would be on if I had not disconnected it.
In Oregon, the requirement is 200ppm's on idle. My SR passed at 30ppm's. They DO in fact check for a catalytic converter. I was running Megan Drifspec 3", but fortunately my friend Aron (racepar1) was selling a Fujisobo 3" exhaust with a cat. They visualized it. That was it.
As long as it isn't OBDII you are fine.
They even asked me to pop the hood. After the guy scratched his head for a bit he closed it.
Here is a present picture of my SR, just to give you an idea.
Some counties don't require a DEQ, but if you are in Washington county, they do require it.
Also, registration is good for 2 years out here, and less than half of what California charges YEARLY.
Modifying your car is NOT illegal as long as it can pass emissions.
Also, just so you know, we don't get exhaust tickets out here...
Or tint tickets..
In closing, Portland is awesome.
Get at me when you move up.
