CA smog check question

[stevexyz]

i'm about to renew the registration of my 88 supra na. i believe the this year dmv is gona require a smog check. i did some very small mods to my car. basically just two mods: cool air intake (pls see the pic below) and an egr block off plate. will my car fail the smog test because of these two mods? it's not hard to reverse the mod. but i don't want to reverse it unless it's really necessary.

you wont pass without egr. and since the intake is not carb legal you will fail the visual. Also removing egr does nada for perormance.

thx for the info. i'll reverse the mods before taking my car to smog check. i know removing egr won't do any good for performance, but it won't do any harm either. i put the block off plate there just to prevent the carbon from building up in the air way to the intake. when i took it out to clean last year, it was all clogged up (probly becuz it's never been cleaned before).

Actually, you'd be wrong on the harm part

Depends on his county. They may not do enhanced. There's still the visual problem though.

Yea but don't they check the vacuum lines diagram that's under the hood?

i didn't remove the egr. everything is still attached. i just put a block off plate in between the joint.

Not only do they do a visual but in Basic counties they also function test the EGR valve.

 

[dubsupra209]

Yea they did that to mine in febuary my supra passed star smog first try.

You will want to make sure you have a
C.A.R.B. approved intake, if so then then the E.O. number placard will need to be visible upon inspection.

You will also fail for missing an emission component. Even if you're basic there will still be a visual inspection.

Also, your timing should be 10 degrees plus or minus 2 degrees.(8-12BTDC)

Just food for thought.
