smog equipment

[beejay31000]

so...i got my car taken apart and i was going to fix the exhaust leak (some silicone where the header and the x-pipe meet) and i am looking at it and wondering what the **** the guy i bought it from was thinking. there are wires running all over that arent connected to anything and my engine bay looks like shit. so i was thinking, if i were to get rid of the smog equipment that isnt doing anything that it might look a little cleaner, but i am not sure if this would affect the drivability of my car. a lot of it isnt hooked up anyway so what the hell right? anyone know?

post pics off what you wnt to take off.. if your thinking smog pump the first thing to deal with is the Sep. Belt if it is already disconnected take it off... just dont un plug any connectors unless you know what it is!

Clean engine is a happy engine, that what i have always said!

then agian everyone i have blown up were super clean LOL!

 

[beejay31000]

blow them up....see, that why i dont want nitrous!!! j/k

i cant get pics right now, but its not the pump, because then i would need a new belt, but there are some hoses running off of the pump that i wanted to remove. and then there is a plastic box on the passenger side of the engine bay that has 2 caps on it with some numbers around them. i have no idea what is it, but if its not doing anything, then i want to get rid of it......

oh...and for the first time...my car has no check engine light on!!!!! i fixed it yesterday....turned out to be the connection to the o2 sensors

 

[Foxman]

thats awsome.... Do you have to smog?
\
if so dont remove anything...your not going to gain anything.


Every motor i have blown up has been N/A

 

[beejay31000]

no smog....none at all, i just want to get rid of the nastyness taking place in my engine bay. get rid of whats not needed. when i put a new engine in that shit will all be gone, but for now i want to remove the peices in veiw.

ok so remove the smog pump and plug any holes in the lines that you take off... remove EGR...I'm pretty sure you will have a engine light agian.... but im not positive... I know there are kits to remove the smog pump...basic idler pulley, but i dont know if you can just get a smaller belt... do you stillw ant the A/C.... remove that shit to!

 

[beejay31000]

theres no a/c or heat. im not removing all the hard lines, or the pump...i dont have the pulley. i jest want to take off all of the soft lines running all over. can i do that and plug all the holes and keep it running good

 

[Foxman]

do you have a maf? i bet it will run alot better.... just dont for get to cap EVERYTHING! even if you thin it doesnt need to be! you can just leave the pump there i believe.... just disconnect all the hoses...

 

[beejay31000]

yeah...i got a maf, but its stock. i want to get one calibrated with 30lb injectors.

 

[Foxman]

you dont need bigger injectors till you do a cam.... if you do like a E B or F303 cam all you need is 24lbs injector

 

[beejay31000]

i do have a cam....jsut not sure what kind....it came on the car.

 

[Foxman]

Damn so yours should move pretty good... I bet that tire is hurting you! what brand is it? they look like BFG's.... they should hook pretty good...

 

[beejay31000]

they are kelly chargers.....

 

[Foxman]

dump them and get a set of 255 60 15's or even a 245 50 15

 

[beejay31000]

that is so narrow tho...i like the way these look on the car.

 

[Foxman]

trust me they will look fine

with the bottle im not oing to run anything bigger then a 255 60 15! 26" tall 9.5" wide

 

[Foxman]

it looks like you have a full size truck tire on there.... the size i gave you will have the side wall still taller then the front.... just not so squeazed on! 60 is 60% of the wide.... just remember that when buying..... if you run a 60's tire on anything wider then a 215 its going to have a taller sidewll. you could go down to a 245 55 15 and it would probably be the same hieght as the front... and with a smaller tire you will get quicker acceleration with the smaller tire!

 

[beejay31000]

i like it squeezed in there. lol....as i said, i will be getting some slicks for the track and going fast, but for putting around town i am going to leave these on there. may not be the stickiest, but they look cool
