You can hear it here

no I bought the cable so I don't have to send anything back

So you can order the tune from Trifecta, have them email you the tune, and I can load and datalog it from my laptop

 

i still have to pass the bullshit ref tho, and bring the passed emissions paper in to the judge. i am gonna bring the passed emissions paper in that is failed due to my MBC, then remove my MBC and pass the ref again and show the judge both and claim not guilty due to me "not knowing" the MBC was there. theres a bunch more **** i have to present, but that will be the basis.

 

ok my bad
all of nor cal (excluding mnatvyc1223 he doesnt count)>so cal

 

when you ordered did they base the tune off your mods?

load and datalog??? i have hptuners if thats what your trying to do.

 

Yes but Vince has you datalog the car using his custom program and makes necessary changes to it and then sends you the revised tune to upload.

 

oh ok gotcha.i think im going to do all visual stuff first to my car before i get into performance... do it backwards this time with this car

 

ur not gonna atleast get tune so ur car isnt slow?

 

i have hptuners. i can tune my own car so i will do it when i have the supporting mods. im coming from a strong sc. im used to being pretty fast. i can wait a lil longer before i do anything

i want to get a cf trunk, hood, headlights, tail lights, drop the car, rims/powdercoat, double din. gotta pimp my ride

im going with the vis invader 2 hood

 

why did you trade in with your cf anway

 

go with oem style it looks better :]

 

had to. i didnt have a stock hood/trunk to switch back to

 

trial by declaration ^_^ saves $

so about the smog test
i have a full exhaust and a catted downpipe, so just cuz im catted it wont pass? it must be stock?

its all Vibrant (header/downpipe"catted"and 3inexhaust)
you guys are all experienced in this area, thanks

I saw Paranormal Activities or whatever tonight......haha it was pretty funny at the funny parts and just a trip not scary, one part gave me chills when she got pulled out of bed, pretty crazy

 

Unless the car is put under load, which the type of rollers used for emissions can't do, you can't build boost on a turbocharged car like you can out on the street. No load = no reisistance to overcome = doesn't require much fuel to burn and therefore not enough exhaust gas to fully spool the turbo. A supercharged vehicle can behave differently since the boost is a function of engine rpms.

Won't fly and unless you just want to waste their and your time, put it back to stock. You're altering the vacuum harness and boost control which can potentially affect emissions. Car runs leaner, makes more power, doesn't matter. It's modified from stock and you cannot alter the boost control on a turbocharged vehicle under the emission laws of the state. The ref has seen plenty of turbocharged vehicles before and even if they did a tail pipe test first and the car came up spotless, as soon as a visual is done (which will more than likely be the first thing they do), you're going to fail. The law may suck but its still a law and they aren't going to overlook it.



On a regular smog test you'll probably be fine. I stress probably in that if the car is super loud and you've got a full exhaust system the shop may very well start digging under the car. This is only going to come into play in the near term if you go to sell the car, if it's registered out of state and you bring it into California, or when you hit the 6-year mark from the first year sold.

If you get busted for anything and get sent to the ref make sure you can put your stock cat back on. Under California law, if the vehicle is still under the original emission systems warranty coverage you are required to have an OEM cat on the car. You also can't modify the header from stock either.

 

i haz one...

 

yea ok i like the sound of that, thanks sir. cops dont bother with me unless im on it and then they fuss, like last night a cop could of pulled me over cuz i know he heard my exhaust POP but he proceeded on his way. i do have the stock cat back and down pipe and header still. the cat back is cut pretty shitty so i would need it welded together if i had to put it back on, then after i pass have a shop put the after market system back on win win

 

yes you need to have the stock cat
^_^ 5 or 7 yrs b4 you can change
it to a non oem one.

when i went to the ref they where cool
about it because it was the students
who where doing the test.

the instructor which was the state ref
is just watching them do it right.

ok i got ya, i still have the stock stuff just for this purpose, i would just need to get the stock cat back welded together again if i dont, no biggie haha

 

how about the stock cat/dp with a catback?

i failed pretty bad when i got mine smogged with a high flow cat.

 

That should be fine cause anything after the cat has nothing to do with emissions just noise

 

yea, thats what i was thinking... i hope that is true. but! the stock exhaust dont let the gases out as fast which means it will read lower on their machine

 

Or it can back it up and it'll become concentrated. lol

 

lol. haha, maybe

 

I'm waiting to get a surpriiiiiiiiiiiiise here at work.
