Diavolo Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 i'm going in tomorrow to smog. i'll be running a stock downpipe, rigged up to the back half of my Invidia Q300. I left my K&N drop in filter in. bottom of my airbox has the silencer removed. i did a realtime reflash with my accessport to stage1 91 octane ACN map. tomorrow i'll go drive around and put at least 30 miles on the reflash before i test and bring that baby in hot! Questions for the experts: 1. i didnt see a "behave like stock" option in my accessport, so i'm going with stage1. i did just DL a stock map and i can put it in my AP tomorrow. based on my mods for smog, does it matter which one i use? stage one / stock? 2. is 30 miles good enough after the reflash? 3. is a "realtime" reflash ok? Thanks for any input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sactojesse Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I would drive at least 200-300 miles before smogging it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heedz Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 50+ miles minimum to reset the ecu well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diavolo Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 i put a little over 70 miles on it tonight. i'll probably put another 20 on it in the morning before i bring it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ur a bus Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I would drive at least 200-300 miles before smogging it. Why? The monitors complete quickly in these cars. That's all you need for a smog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think stage one should be ok. I passed with a custom stage 2/3 map, new turbo, new injectors, only one cat.. btw, the "behave like stock" option for your accessport is sometimes called "unmarry". Not sure what the exact wording for the (I'm assuming v2) menu option is - I have an APv1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSix Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 btw, the "behave like stock" option for your accessport is sometimes called "unmarry". Not sure what the exact wording for the (I'm assuming v2) menu option is - I have an APv1. Behave as stock is simply loading the "stock" realtime map. You can get it on Cobb's site. FWIW, I smogged Cobb stage 2 base and real-time. Give a man a beer, and he'll waste an hour. Teach a man to brew, and he'll waste a lifetime.

izzys05lgt Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Ok so I had to smog my 05 last year. I was running elh, catless up & dp, unresonated custom single hks carbon ti and stg 2 protune from DBtuned. i read up on it and found that just putting the stock dp on would pass sniffer easily. Did that, but REALLY didnt want to take off my headers and uppipe..so I went to a couple small shops and was instantly failed for the visual..then i had the genius idea to go to Shingle Springs Subaru because the mechanics always talk to me about my car and love it. Went there, none of the guys i knew were working and i thought i was gna fail again. But to my surprise they didnt even say a word to me. i was there for 10 minutes.. They blatantly looked at my headers and uppipe as well..and it was obvious my stock dp hadnt been on the car in over a year.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have been passing with aftermarket uppipe. However, I suspect the less stock your car looks on the outside, the more scrutiny they will have on visual.

jayway Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Smog time again for me but this time I'm running a completely diff setup. I failed a couple years ago (reported in this thread) on HC on the old stage 2 set up but passed visual w/ the catted DP. Swapped the DP with the stocker and passed fine. At stg 3+ now running E85. Should I chance it and just swap my intake back to stock, throw on the engine cover and test it? Hoping they don't notice the DP and headers. Or, swap DP, intake, headers back to stock and reflash to the 91 map? Would suck big time to have to swap all these parts back and forth! This is what sucks about modding. Any advice?

wpmarky Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 intake dp and 91 map yes, headers probly don't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayway Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Ended up swapping the cbe, dp, and intake. Didn't feel like switching to 91 and reflash so just ran it with e85 and it passed fine. Now just waiting on some gaskets to put all the goods back on. Took a short drive with just the open dp after I took off the cbe, was giggling the whole time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutbackXT05 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Just did my smog today with all my oem-ness. Ej257 block, intake resonator removed (ya i know i was walking on thin ice with this one lol), ebay catback, oem tune. Is it common to pollute more at idle than 2500rpm?

jayway Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Mine was slightly cleaner at 2500 rpm than at idle too, must be normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haycock Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Has anyone tried smoging their car with a fmic? im thinking about a fmic when i get a new turbo but not sure if it will pass or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 FMIC or TMIC is not part of the emission they can't get you for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diavolo Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 FMIC or TMIC is not part of the emission they can't get you for that Yes it is, and yes they can. BPV has to be stock, and you need a CARB legal intake too. whether or not its overlooked is another thing. i only find one CARB legal kit, and its only for a 05 STi: http://arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermkt/devices/eo/D-588.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diavolo Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 We will see in a few months is a fmic will pass.... let us know! it seems to be one of those grey area things, as long as the recirc systems and maf arent moved, it should be good to go, but on the other hand some places will notice its a modification and fail. regardless that is has no effect on increasing emissions. worst part is with the new OBDII scan smog, your tune could cause you to fail before they even look under your hood. info on the new smog here: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/new-ca-smog-obdii-info-thread-199919.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
