smog

Hello Crew, Kinda two part question here. I have a engine that was pulled from a '95 LS400. I'm trying to identify if this engine is CA or Federal emissions equipped. I did find info on up to '94 there was a secondary air pump under the intake for CA emissions but cannot find much on '95...

92 SC400, 218K on it. Run like a champ. New plugs, new oil, new filter for test.... 1. failed HC ppm on 15 mph roller test: 73 passing-129 measured! But it passed on the 25 mph roller 56 passing-50 measured. 2. Failed 25 mph NOx ppm 487 passing, 531 measured BUT passed on 15 mph 530 passing...

hey guys, So I've always wanted to do a 1uz swap in my 99 tacoma but I live in california and the last time I did a swap (sr20det s13) I had to get rid of it due to cops, smog etc. I love my truck as its the most reliable vehicle I have ever own and I would hate to have to get rid of it...

I just took my stock LS400 to get it smogged and they said they could not smog because the check engine light wont flash on and then off when I first start the car. Problem is that I get a check engine light that comes on and then off when driving but never get it upon startup. Any chance the...

I know the souther California group is fairly small on this list, but I was wondering if there was anyone on here who has had to smog check a modded car in So Cal. I recently got my 1983 Celica back up and running with the 1993 Lexus 1UZFE engine in it. I am trying to help out the situation by...

I am new to the board, being introduced by "the flea". I am very impressed with the 1uz and am contemplating swapping one into a porsche 944 turbo (951). I read a thread about this swap. Unfortunately, nothing has progressed on that thread in some time. "the flea" and I test fit a 1uz in...

Are any of these turbo kits smog legal in California? Can you go to your local smog station and pass with flying colors? Or do you have to seek out "alternatives" in order to pass? I have been contemplating TC my car for awhile, I receive all the information on what and how, and cost but...

Hi there, I just want to say good luck on your project. I happen to have an 85 Supra too, that a 1UZ will be going into as well. As soon as my 82 is restored, I'm looking forward to this swap. Thats a curious question of mine as well if the stock ECU will even allow the EGR valve to be removed.
