god dammit,lol well,can a 3stge be smogged ok,and wat fuel does it run on?unleaded?premium?
BANNED. for life, you moron.

All FI set ups should run premium if not better due to detonation. No car, in california especially, will pass smog with any type of engine mods.

i still havent "passed" but legally i have thanks to a "guy".
its good to know there are options.
15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
any "guy" who does bypass smog risks their license being taken away
ahahahahaha i have to say this is one of the best threads i've seen since i joined almost a year ago..

haha man, i must have lived in the strict part of Ohio, becuase i had echeck when i lived there and guess what? my car passed fine, but it won't pass now in Cali haha. I think it differs by county. I know Cuyohoga county has echeck, but recently they made it free of charge to get tested like 2 years ago or something. California has too many strict laws i want to move haha. Anyone know which state has the least amount of automotive laws?

it is because your car is not equipped with California emissions ... usually any car has more emission control in California than any other place in the US , probably the world ...

cause I got mine smogged in april and now I don't need it for another year and a half. I'm sure in a year and a half I'll want a different car by then, but if I don't, I'll rip everything back out and go take it to get smogged as an NA car. OR, if I'm too lazy for that I'm sure I can find a "guy", I have a friend right now actually who is taking classes to get his smog license.
btw, CelicaST_CALI, that's only happened once

Please go into detail with this NaderG. I really do want to know the exact difference in parts the the Cali spec and the non Cali spec have. I believe that my car has everything on it as compared to the California spec, so i want you to tell me the exact difference please.

I think they have different ECUs. the 94-95 cali specs had 2 o2 sensors (all 96+ had 2 o2 sensors, cali and fed). There is a different part number for the EGR valve. 94-95 cali specs had 2 catalytic converters (all 96+ have 2).
in any case, a federal spec should still be able to pass california emissions if it's in good working order. if you failed, then there is something wrong with your car. if you post what your numbers were on the smog check I could help you figure out what is wrong with it.

Well , i think he gave you the information you need , you also said on another post that your getting low gas millage , so i think there is something that needs to be done , the fuel/air ratio is probably messed up , giving you bad millage and bad emissions , you should consider changing the O2 sensors , PCV and check your EFI and all the other emission goodies

since you car already doesn't pass smog, might as well drop in a 3s to go with the gt-four vert look.
ss-iii splitters and 404 skirts areon. which means i need to update my sig.
>
before you go dropping money into stuff like that, you should really look at the number from your smog check. if you failed case you HC and CO was high, that tells you something... in that particular case it would probably be a misfire or that your timing is off. If you've taken the smog check (how else do you know that you failed?) just post the numbers up. I'm learning alot about diagnosis in my auto classes this semester, and one of the main things we've touched on so far is what each of the exhaust gasses mean.
