tomorrow im purchasing a 94 touring w/ a single turbo conversion, my credit union wont issue a check til i can have it smogged....any ideas??

 

get it smogged?

 

.

 

meaning, just go get it smogged

EDIT: or ask the current owner to do it

 

problem is i cant cause in cali single turbos are illegal, u know wut i mean? current owner is giving it to me for a really cheap price but i have to find somewhere to smog it....

 

ha ha! you're in gay CA...i didn't notice, but you're basicly screwed unless you can pay somebody off...i know i've talked to some people on supraforums that have done it

 

stupid laws....any way do u know anywhere around here that might do it...pm me please

 

hey a guy I know got his car "smogged" through these guys http://www.rotaryracing.com/ they are a local rotary shop, and aparentley thy have a guy and there right by you, you might have to promise them some work hope that helps

 

thanks man im gonna check em out tomorrow

 

is there a way you can put a plastic cover over the engine, like all the new cars have?

like make it look stock to pass the visual test (which is so ghey...if it passes smog, then who cares what it looks like)




EDIT: like this:

it was the first car i thought of that had a cover thing

 

i was thinkin the same thing, haha but i would need to tune the turbo down..if thats even possible

 

boost controller

 

You are going to have to bribe someone.

Given that it's a single turbo, it most likely has all the emissions equipment removed and you wouldn't have a chance in hell of passing the sniffer test anyway, let alone the visual.

Perhaps you should rethink your purchase if the idea of bribing a smog shop doesn't work for you.

 

Uh...NO.

Hey genius, even w/ a cover, how do you plan on passing the emissions portion of the test?

 

In California the seller must provide smog cert. Unless it is being sold as an off road vehicle. You can sue them in civil court for cost of smog reapirs if the vehicle desn't pass. They can have an agrement saying it's your responsibility to get it smog but they would loose in court.

 

If you have to take a loan out for a FD, you won't be able to afford the maintenance. FDs break all the time.

 

or rotaries in general.

 

stock cats or a high flow cat

but notice how i didn't mention emissions? i just said the visual part of inspection, because they won't even do the emission part without passing the visual...read things before you start to flame people who are being nice and trying to help

and why won't a BC work?

 

You have no clue, do you? Only 15 years old w/ no drivers license and already a Goddamn expert on cars, eh?

Neither a stock cat or high flow cat will work. Nor a boost controller? Why? Because the car will be driven on a roller dyno @ 15 and 25 mph on a light load and boost isn't affected. If you have *any* chance to pass smog w/ a single turbo setup and exclude the visual part of the test, you'll have to do so by leaning the car out w/ whatever EMS you're running.

 

did i say i was an expert? why flame me because i'm 15? i was trying to help, i was wrong, so sue me

i was taking my knowledge of supras and trying to bring it over to RX-7's....didn't work, once again, my bad...sue me for trying to help

 

If you DON'T KNOW, then DON'T POST. 1) It's irresponsible to give erroneous advice, and 2) you make yourself look like an idiot.

 

this is Cali, we might damn well try

 

ditto

it just wastes people's time, those who actually don't know any better.

an engine cover will not fool any smog tech. how do i know? because i've been working on cars for how long you've been alive.




ok, i think he's learned his lesson.
