going NS and still passing CA emissions?

Okay, I searched a lot for this, but didn't find anything.

Is there a way to do NS conversion, and still keep the primary cat, ACV, and air pump? I will eventually need to smog the car and am wondering if there is any going back to a passable setup (that will still pass tailpipe)? Because I know every time I've smogged the guys don't even know what rotaries are, let alone whether I've removed some solenoids or not.

One other kind of unrelated question regarding NS setup: will I be fine without aftermarket fuel management or will the motor blow from running lean during the normal "sequential transitionary period"?

thanks guys.

Yes, you can keep the emissions equipment with the poor-mans NS conversion.

Actually, I believe the stock ECU is a little rich at transition to compensate for a little spiking that can occur.

Shouldn't be a problem.

everyone makes such a big deal about different fuel needs... forgeting that in stock seq mode the turbo's stay non-seq once transitioned untill you go below 3k. that's 1500 rpm of non seq operation, below tranistion. i just don't see the difference.

Oh man ! Not another NS / Seq. discussion....

Unless you upgrade the turbine, and or have to get 1600 cc secondaries (fuel Rail) there is no need to remove the stock emissions crap...
