So it has come to the time when I need to smog my car here in CA. I was wondering what kind of options I had to pass. I was thinking that I could remove my whole kit, and just put the stock exhaust manifold back on. Not sure how it would run with the AEM FIC and larger injectors. Any input would be much appreciated.

 

How will it run with the larger injectors and no FIC

 

Put stock injector back and remove aem fic and use the stock car computer the car should work like factory just dont get into boost you be alright

 

How will it run if I left the larger injectors in and unplugged the FIC?

 

The car will run horrible cus the factory computer is tuned to the factory injectors .. So just put stock injectors back and use stock computer and car will run like factory just dont get into boost running it cus remenber ur on stock computer

 

This guy doesnt know what hes talking about. Either put it back to stock real quick. Shouldnt take more than 5-6 hours then go get it smogged and re-install your kit, or go get a crooked smog. In our state you might pass the AFRs test on the dyno if you put the injectors and manifold back on but you will not pass visual at the state ref.

 

I'm from CA as well so I was mostly concerned about the visual part of the smog test. I guess I'll just pull everything out then. Should pass the the AFRs test with just the one manifold CAT right?

 

Man Id just show em your friend Mr Benjamin ;)

 

I guess I could try that first.

 

California has "NEW SMOG" program. Star program records individuals, as well as shop's performance, on a point system. All prior programs expired, and are moving to hold strict guidelines. Look for a non Star smog shop. My TC will be getting put back, for smog time.

 

Mines supercharged passed smog just had to take off intake header and make a test pipe for my custom exhaust

 

futch... I've heard of that program as well. So finding a shop that will pass a car with illegal FI modifications will be harder? And is our only choice is going back to stock?

 

Doesn't have to be stock, just have the required items and/or be carb certified. Also tuned correctly with no cel on.

Damn. Guess I'll be going back to my old intake and exhaust setup. Thanks for the reply
