Not yet. I'll post it once I do.

 

Sounds to me like the screens in the MAF's are basically doing the same job that the tornado thingies would have done.

 

yeah it burns cleaner... but for our cars especially yours its gonna knock alot... just run horrible... why do you have to assume im making a statement in the way your thinking?

why am i so luckily selected by you to get ridin on?

 

Yes, it'll run like ****, but it'll pass smog. It'll only knock if I'm running in boost; which I obviously wouldn't. The plan is to run the car nearly out of gas, put in just enough 87 to get me to and from the smog shop. then I fill it up with 91 again.

You're the chosen one because you don't think before posting. You should try it sometime.

 

well also they have that stuff i forgot what it is called,but you can but it at the store they say it will help make you pass smog, also they will pay if you are rejected the price i beleave of you inspection also make sure you get your cat up to temp or you might fail maybe if you have adjustible fuel presure regulator turn the presure down anuff to lean it out a little but but in the safe range,and the timing

 

I've read that type of fuel additive is basically an octane reducer, so it's basically the same thing.

I don't have an adjustable FPR. I've also read I can disconnect the vacuum line to the fuel dampener. There are a lot of things to do 'make it pass'. Up to this point I've always wanted to find the problem and fix it. Now I've found out that with my mods, it likely won't pass smog anyways. So, it seems I don't have a problem. I just need to find a shop that will work with me.

 

ok well i'll try and help ya out with anything i can share and what i might think that can help you. I love how you did your ride up, it's sweet! wait until you check mine out when im done. But anyway, what kind of ecu program are you running, injector size, and do you have high flow cats or normal stock cats? The FPR is very important for idle when use upgraded turbos, injectors and so on. It helps reduce the fuel at idle,and when boosted it will raise pressure for optimal fuel delivery. I recommend the aeromotive fuel regulator, it's an awesome regulator. also, the dampener sometimes goes bad if you haven't changed both of the stock regulator and dampener. when you built your power plant, i recommend at least the FPR to no cheaper then NISMO so you can set the fuel pressure.

DAMM smog jerks i hope What i have said helps you out bro hit me back if you want to ask something I'll tell you want I know, or what I might think about what your asking. I'm pritty good at figuring out hard stuff. I hope you pass bro good luck

 

make a new thread about your Z. im curious

also, if you install an adj FPR, fuel maps will need to be tuned to use it properly.
i say, just get it done, smog it, and enjoy it for now. its been too long

 

you do not realy have to tune fuel maps, you just want the fuel pressure to be controled better and be at the proper fuel pressure for your injectors

 

hey 91 hows it going ? have to returned to get it checked again? how did it come out if you did?

 

Nope, not yet. I've been out of town on business the past few days. Hopefully in the next few days.

 

well best of luck to you. cali emisions sucks majorly

 

sooooooo 91 any updates?

 

No....been too busy. It's on my to-do list.

 

its been almost 4 months. how bout now?

 

I washed it and parked it nicely in the garage so that I can work on it when I have more time, money and patience.

Amy and I just sunk about $85k into our house (pool, landscaping, concrete), so the Z has taken a backseat for now. I figure if I don't do much with the Z, then Amy won't nag me to get rid of it...j/k...I think she knows that if she ever she did that, I'd smack her with a shovel and feed her to my catfish.

 

you OWN your own catfish?

 

I have a pond full of them....most of them are 4 - 5 pounders.....about 2 feet long.

 

good eats!!

 

i got my own little pond, lol, but its got carp (quoy) japanese carp! its JDM

 

Koi dummy.

 

i spell it hows i sounds it! lol, i couldnt think of the spelling but you nailed it, i knew it was something wierd, but i was lazy and just typed how i felt.

 

lol that was ****in great ha ha Good Luck with the car man. in in the East Coast now so if u need any help from shops out here lmk I'll see what I can do for you. I wanna see that thing run. Maby I can hit you up when I get a break from Nascar and I have a properly tuned car

 

he is alive!

 

The east coast is pretty far from Cali.
