This is my first time taking this thing in for smog. Can someone please help me out.

I know i need to:
-install EGR valve
-install air pump
-install air splitter pipe
-install stock exhaust
-install stock bov ???

I would really appreciate any help I could get. Thanks in advance.

 

The answer to this question would be based largely on where you live.

 

Cali smog. =/

 

good luck with that.

 

I'm not sure how much the EGR actually helps. I don't think they even had them on s5's. Also, I'm not sure if theres even a space for it on j-specs.

 

S5's never had EGR's on J-specs. Isn't there someone out there with constructive criticism? Haha. Seriously guys, I just need a little help on this.

 

what car? what engine?

the smog guy is going to look at the car, if its an 87-88 he's MIGHT look for an egr valve, which the jspec doesnt have.

if the car is an 89+ he might still look for the egr valve, but its not supposed to have one, either usa or jdm

other than that, they are close enough, and the jspec working properly, will pass out the tailpipe, egr or not

 

Its a 91 TII. So J9FC3S, do you think my engine will pass then? I really need to know. Thanks for the help so far.

 

They actually test the egr valve if you have an S4,.. Anything thats on your hood sticker they test in CA.

 

Is there anyone else with a 13bt J-spec that could help me out? I'd really like to save $300.

 

i hope your car passes i meet a guy with a Jspec in a FC and it shot fire out the stock exhaust with stock equipment

 

damn good luck....try and register out of state..=) that is what im doing...

 

If you need smog hookups....PM Goofyrotor. He hooks everyone from the West Section.

 

your fucked buddy

 

Wacky is the man, he got the cheap valley smogs.

 

if you put all the US emissions stuff on the jspec it should pass just fine.
now I don't live in Cali but this is what I have read on these forums.

I'm going to be smoging a s5 jspec in my s4 in Houston with a Microtech LT8 soon.
I should be able to get it thru but it might take a few tries.

if they go looking for EGR I'm just going to tell them its an S5 engine....I guess I would need to meeting the emissions for the S5.

 

Don't know about cheap...
but yeah, he's the man for the job...

 

wacky is down for any "job" order.

 

DoLuck likes to blow his jobs away. many repeat customers.

 

i only hook you up because you have no real teeth.

 

I passed w/ my EGR blocked off.
EGR is useless, airpump ACV and a good wokring cat and a properly running motor should get you past.

 

And do keep in mind that teH Node is never wrong!! It's about time you started posting in the West section Node!!
