Thread: Smog Questions

I'm looking to pick up a 1g awd this weekend. Only problem is there is no vac lines and no egr. The hood is aftermarket, so there is no vac diagram on it. Assuming I can get it to pass visual, will it pass the sniffer without all that stuff hooked up?

If anyone "knows a guy", please PM me with the info. I definately don't want to pass up this deal on this car but I'm hesitant because of the whole smog thing...

I guess worst case, I have to go through it and put new vac lines on. My buddy has a 1g thats stock, so I could borrow parts off his if I had to....

hmmmm good info..thanks.

I checked out ebay, I can get a working egr for like $15. Vac line doesn't cost much. I'm thinking absolute worst case I can re-run all the lines. There a plenty of vac line diagrams floating around so it shouldn't be too difficult.

I'll definately make sure the car is nice and hot before I take it to smog, especially since its awd. I know that not being on the rollers means less load which means the cat isn't going to get as hot. I had this issue with my 2g awd. I'll also throw in some g2p (guaranteed to pass) and maybe 100 octane just before I smog it. Of course, basic maint. comes first (oil, air filter, plugs etc etc).

Droopy I might hit you up for your help. :)

I still have the egr. So dont buy it. I just dont have the time to hook up all the vacuum together.

Ah sweet. I was just hoping I could smog it how it is, but not a big deal if I need to hook up the vac lines it only takes a few minutes. :)
