CA smog question
 
ok i have my greddy set at 6lbs boost timing set at 10* btdc and i have the msd installed and 1.8 injectors installed. should i temporarily remove the msd and set timing back at 6 for the smog test? should i swap back in my 1.6 injectors? need to know today so i can do it i smog tommorrow.

i would swap injectors, set timing at 10*, and unhook the wastegate arm. oh ya, taking it out for a 15 minute or so spirited drive can help too becauese it heats everything up nicely.

i might do that i didnt think about that.

drftem 01-28-2007 01:34 PM

but how will the msd react? it should be fine because it only retards timing baseed on boost correct

failed ok well i passed the visual the tech didnt even ask a question about the turbo system. i failed the sniffer my no bnumbers were to high. from what i have read that means running too lean. so im gunna reset my timing to 8* and run it hard for a while to get the cat warm then go back for my free retest.
