What to fill my engine bay with that meets CA smog?

[Uber E30]

Well i know they want to see your DME some times, so that would be a dead giveaway. Its all luck though, some places are super chill and some are crazy.

[evangreen]

you can just smog it as a 95 3.0 obd1, then you will be using an obd1 ecu
yeah i was spacing on the cats, and thinking about oxygen sensors. The obd1 stuff is similar to how the e30 is with a single o2 sensor at the x pipe. The ref will most likely check that and see a stock bmw cat, and move on...

The ref looks for a specific # on the cat and checks if it's the right one for the engine.

Jean - could you have passed/gotten your sticker with an aftermarket cat?

[Uber E30]

if its carb certified, yes

[evangreen]

mine passed with the e30 cat, but like people have said, some refs are easy and some dicks

Is smog inspection required in all counties in California these days? I last lived in the state in 1988.

...im not tryin to BAR mine right now just smog it, i am running odb1 with e30 cats, stock evap canister, all emissions and exhaust hooked up o2 a lil bit down stream from the mani's before the cat(s) so i dont think there will be any prob...now if i was going to the ref that would prob be a different story they are SUPER strik around here because all the dumbass honda ricers swap shit and get popped left and right

but the smog shop was closed today so this week i should make it in if i can get off work early

[Uber E30]

[Uber E30]
