california smog
 
so i need to smog my car but stil have a check engine light on cuz my tune is running real rich and i just don't have the time and money to get it tuned properly right now. current mods r dual pass, option b, zzps3 he, 2.9" or 3.0" not sure size, with 60lb injectors, zzp lt headers w/catted downpipe and tsudo cat back exhaust and k&n cai. my question to all of u is, can i just swap back to stock tune to go get smogged then put stage tune back on? will i b ok if i just stay out of boost? or would i need to swap parts back? if so can i get away with just doing the injectors and again staying out of boost? i have hpt so its not a problem to swap tunes. thanks in advance guys! stupid CA emissions!

Its gotta run all messed up with 60lb injectors and the stock tune. Just a guess but I'd say put the stock parts back on.

Hoping it will b ok as long as I stay out of boost. But gonna sit down on hpt this weekend hopefully and command aft hoping it will fix my rich problem

007 redline 05-21-2013 06:53 PM

Melon 05-21-2013 07:19 PM

if the smog tech goes to boost when smogging , then it will fail ^_^ personal experience.

the usual donation is 200$

stacy knows someone .

or you can go stock tune, intake, inj. you can leave the pulley or go back stock size.

Melon 05-21-2013 08:46 PM

I have k&n with carb sticker so that will pass. I can swap injectors and tune no problem. But would rather try and tune it properly if I can do it real quick.

I didn't think they got into boost for smog

007 redline 05-21-2013 09:02 PM

try it and if it doesn't work I have a guy in Baldwin park for $180

if they have a heavy foot it will rev above and go in open loop.

stock cat untill 10yrs of the age of the car then it can be changed.

Melon 05-21-2013 10:31 PM

Doesn't zzp use magnaflow? And I would think that would have to b a 50 state legal piece. Could b wrong. Silly question but where is Baldwin park? 180 isn't bad. Will c wut happens after this weekend

west Covina/ el monte area

714ionredline 05-21-2013 10:39 PM

Baldwin park is by 605 and 10 and cali is syper picky when it come to aftermarket cats especially on high flow ones. And yeah 180 is not bad at all.

its legal, you are required to have a stock cat 10yrs.
the magnaflow is legal by itself because it passed the emission test, it is not legal to have it on your car since it is not 10yrs old

Melon 05-21-2013 10:42 PM

Alright. We shall c wut happens. May b driving up to west covina soon. Anyone wanna have a smog check meet? Lol

Will they really crawl up under there and check? Downpipe and headers painted flat black to make it seem a lil less obvious
