Buying cams ** witch if any pass smogg **

[CACalomino]

Im back in the EVO game and im looking for a set of cams and I realy want to be able to pass emissions when the time comes rathre than have to take them out and put them back in etc.

I know I know most of u are gona say just man up and mod and shut up etc etc. I know im gona get the car tuned with bigger injectors and a SAFC2 but I want to be able to do a simple quick injector swap back to stock and disconnect teh SAFC and be able to pass running on the stock ECU .

My set up is prob gona be either 264/264 or the works 269 cams or if I feel like it 264/272 set up

So does anybody realy and truely know if any of these set ups will pass on a stock car meaning stock ECU injectors with no more than a DP and cat back. I have read some post's on here but I cant get some true hard facts. SOme say np but I want actual hard evidence etc.

thanks in advance for any feedback

Do you still have the Nissan truck? You crazy guy you - I haven't seen you since that day at Thunderhill EONS ago.

The only cams I know of that pass emissions are the WORKS 269s.

GSC/hks 264s will pass as long as your cat is functioning correctly. btw, you could buy GSC 264s + crower Ti valve springs and retainers for less money the the 269s.. no cam gears needed with the 264s either. I wish i had the money to spend on the designer works products though :)

What's the source for the cheap 264s and valvetrain?

OK so u have proof that HKS 264's will pass with a functional Stock cat. Where did u find proof of this? im not ?ing you but just wanted ot know if tested your set up or who do u know that did etc

thanks

Yes I read those treads before I posted this one but they still were not hare evidence sure the one guy passed at the smog station but from the sound of it the guy had no idea what he was doing since he had never scene a evo before. Im looking for a smog printout or somebody taht has gone to smogg shop for a BS ticket and passed the sniffer.

You don't have to smog until 2011. I wouldn't worry about the cams failing you. The injectors and SAFC would do more harm to smog than cams would. I thought one of those threads mentioned he passed with cams and a stock cat...??..

6 years for whichever year. For you, 2009.

I belive you have 5 years now and then you also have a one time use waiver. Who has straight 272 or bigger you should throw a stock cat on and go get is tested just to see.!!!!!!!

[nightwalker]

If someone with 272s wants to try smogging their EVO, come out to Truckee and I'll run a pre-test to see if it will pass.

[MitsuMan]

thats a mission right there

Most of us wont own our evo's in 5 years and if we do, they will be paid off and/or relegated to track/street racing duty by then.. No worries except for $4/gall gas by 2011!

[dohcvtec]

Its 6 years anyways.

[onesicklambo]

yeah but it you sell a car you have to smog it for the buyer so he can register it. right?

Nope, not the Evo. I haven't had to smog either of the two that I've owned prior to registration.

From the DMV website:


When you transfer a vehicle that is four or less model years old a smog certification is not required. A smog transfer fee will be collected from the new owner.

When a vehicle is more than four model years old, a seller must provide evidence of a current smog certification except when one of the following occurs:

- The transfer occurs between a spouse, sibling, child, parent, grandparent, or grandchild.
- A biennial smog certification was submitted to DMV within 90 days prior to the vehicle transfer date (a vehicle inspection report may be required for proof of certification).

Smog certifications are good for 90 days from the date of issuance.

its always been 4 years I think they bumped it up one for the 04 and newer

I may take you up on that seeing as I drive through Truckee once in a while. Need to get her tuned first though cause she is oh so rish right now.

[CACalomino]
