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

 

or you can smog it illegally?

 

Don't know anyone. And for how much

 

There is a shop down here in Compton that would do it for 150 I believe

 

Ill pass on goin to Compton. Lol

 

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.

 

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

 

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.

 

Btw I dont think zzp catted dpwnpipe is cali legal. so I think its easier to go to compton or baldwin park to get it smoged

 

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

 

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

 

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
^_^

 

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

Gayest ****. Ever

 

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

 

yes they do a visual check.
they get a heavy fine if an undercover catches them ^_^
you can try and slap some heat wrap on it

 

Well I guess we will wait and c. Keep u guys posted

 

Y not tune the car correctly??

 

Can with zzp canned tune and never got around to dialing in tune. I am gonna try to dial in tune this weekend when I'm off

 

It isnt hard.

 

Log it on ur way to work. Make ur changes after work on the way home.
