Here is my smog paperwork on my 1993 Honda civic EX please if anyone can chime in that would be great.
I'd like to say as well I slightly bumped the compression up in this engine to 10:1 ish which shouldn't really hurt anything... So i thought..
I'm going to mess with ignition timing and replace the cat.. The cars ignition timing is off I know dumb move.. I switched ECU's and my tuner had the ignition timing set & I didn't mess with it before smog.
Any helpful tips in helping me would be awesome. thanks

 

I also installed a new Denso O2 sensor before smog but hopefully with the O2, my new cat (I just ordered it tonight) and adjusting my ignition timing I should pass.

 

These threads sure to seem to be popping up more frequently lately.

 

Hot smogs are expensive now

OP, set your idle, set your ignition timing, put some fresh gas in it, go out for a long drive, take the car to get smogged.

 

Thank you for your feedback! I will post my results if I fail or pass in 2 weeks from today!
I see you also live in the central valley, That's cool, I'm in Modesto!

 

Yes it sucks. :^/

 

The CO2 is fantastic .Probably credit the high comp pistons.

Based on the rest of the numbers, Id say the cat is bad...

 

Hello thanks for chiming in! I have a new CARB compliant catalytic on the way from rock auto should be here on Wednesday. I will post the results pass or fail and go over what I did if I passed or what I will do next if I have to retake the test.

 

You need to take the car on a really long drive to heat up that cat before testing.

 

Hello, I have a BIG UPDATE!!!
I PASSED my smog!! Here is what I did hopefully I can help many people in the future with this thread!
I adjusted the idle air adjustment screw on my throttle body once the car was completely warmed up, then I set the ignition timing and I continued the dial in the idle air screw and timing to get everything as perfect as I could.
That was a big help! Also I did put a new catalytic converter on my car and everything was good to go!!
A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO COMMENTED ON MY POST TRYING TO HELP ME OUT!

 

The sea turtles of America thank you!
