DLIDFIS & California Smog Visual
Hey all, I'll be switching my ignition setup on my 85 GSL over to DLIDFIS for obvious reasons. However I'm worried it may fail the California visual smog inspection. If anything it will probably improve the sniffer numbers though. Has anyone in the people's republic of California been hassled by smog techs about this?
Thanks!
Thanks!

i would make the DLTGIF a plug and play thing, so if you get hassled its no big deal to remove. i would also try to make it a little stealthy, or stock like.
i've never tried it, so no idea if it does anything or not, can't hurt.

Yeah, probably seems like a reasonable plan to make it as much plug and play and stock appearing as possible. Also, how is DLTGIF different than DLIDFIS? I've never heard of that.

Lapping = Fapping

It's a bit of a pretentious acronym; DLIDFIS, but it stands for Dual Leading Ignitor Direct Fire Ignition System and was a way to differentiate it from the others that people were trying out at the time. It was only 7 letters at a time when most phone numbers were still just 7 numbers long. I figured it wouldn't be too terribly difficult for most people memorize.

Definitely. I won't even drive a setup with stock dizzy ignition anymore if I can help it. It's one of those mods that just has to be done as there are only benefits and zero drawbacks. However if you have an SA that still has to have semi-firing trailing and the tach on the leading side for the stock thermal reactor to "keep its fire lit"... well TG has the solution.

its a good thing we are not talking about newer Porsches! those have an LGBT bearing, and when it fails the engine is ruined.
