well, here in Jefferson Co, KY, we need to smog our cars yearly (sucks). I've had Toda B cams in my car for a year and a half (delaying it as long as possible... and they threatened to take away my registration if I didn't smog my car).

Anyway, my car passed.

99 Si with Toda B cams.
timing retarded to the max
A.Teo cat.

hydrocarbons load: 102/220 ppm (second number is limit)
hydrocarbons idle: 218/220 ppm
CO load: 0.67/1.22 %
CO idle: 0.22/1.20 %

 

hahaha, GOD I LOVE THIS!! Its just so funny that you guys have to tune your car just to pass emissions. Not trying to flame you guys or anything. Good one on passing

 

are the smog requirements in ky less strict than ca?

 

well, it really didn't take that much "tuning".
all i did was loosen the three bolts, turn dist., and tighten. maybe five minutes. my friends find it pretty amusing too!! especially the fact that i barely passed... as far as Ky emissions vs California, i would guess that Ca is more strict, you never hear of cars on "The Price is Right" coming equipped with "KY emissions". You guys have CARB too.
