boxpin Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I successfully passed California Smog for the second time with all my modifications last night. Just like this...even with a 19T and a modified R manifold for the EGR. All tucked under the heat shield. Time for the 20G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLobsinger Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Very nice! This gives me a bit more confidence that mine will pass. Though it shouldn't be a problem with all the CARB stickers I have under the hood... haha. BTW, did your old heatshield work for the R manifold, or did you have to use a newer style?

BTW, did your old heatshield work for the R manifold, or did you have to use a newer style? the heatshield that came on the car bolted up to the R mani in two spots, worked great. The turbo water cooler line to heatshield to manifold is missing so I just put a nut/bold through the water line to heat shield. Beware of 96+, you cannot modify the intake. I am a 95. What all did you have to change over? Only my exhaust downpipe. I take off the OBX and put on my modified (angle housing) OEM downpipe with OEM cat.

Or is it not needed? Three bolts for the flange and a v-band clamp...not difficult. My motor is built, I have h-beams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

survolvo Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Find a county that does not require the smog check every 2 years, get a PO Box and your good. Mendocino County only requires a smog check on initial registration, as long as you pay the reg on time yearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendocino County only requires a smog check on initial registration, as long as you pay the reg on time yearly. Most everywhere requires a physical address though. That's why I like Arizona. I see turbo diesel pickups with 8" stacks coming out of the bed ... A OK ... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survolvo Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 There are some counties that only require a mailing address. Many places, such as where I am, don't really have any physical address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Mac Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I now see why pulling those control arms was not such a big deal for you. What a pita! They really go over it with a fine toothed comb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
