    passing smog tests

    this is for all you guys that bitch and whine about how you cant pass smog with this or that.

    Try this and report back... especially if you have serious doubts about passing.
    Anyone can pass smog very easily, I thought I actually posted this but I'll repeat for the late comers.
    If you have to pass a visual, you're on your own. Thats got nothing to do with emissions.

    To pass the smog test perform the following steps:

    Get the gas tank almost empty, under a 1/4 of a tank

    Add two gallons of denatured alcohol from Ace Hardware, Lowes or Home Depot

    Proceed directly to smog station and take the test

    Recieve pass certificate

    Alcohol does not burn hydrocarbons, so you effectively fool the sniffer every time. I've done this on 4 vehicles now, none of which had cats. Well atleast a cat with anything inside it My 240 had over double the stock injector size controlled by a SAFC and I passed easily.

    If the car has to be shutoff, you will have a little trouble starting it. It will start mind you, but not on the first crank, it will take 4-5 seconds. This is because the spark energy isn't enough to light off the alcohol mixture. Running the alcohol will not damage your motor or the sensors. Just proceed to the gas station after you pass and fill up with regular.

    I also read that by tuning your car to run on alcohol, and do the right paper work, it becomes smog exempt, as an "alternative fuel vehicle"

    thats in cali any way...

      Larger injectors have nothing to do with passing or failing your emissions test.

        who said they did?

        that's what he's insinuating when he said that he's passed with double the injector size.

                          It helps to have "special" friends to make you pass. Hell I took a car with broken windshield and alot of other misc shit wrong with it and "passed"

                            I'd love if Cali had safety inspections. You wouldn't believe the crap that's on the roads out here. Smog tests can only do so much.

                              Safety? Care to elaborate?
