Your best bet would be to look it up in your state's VC (vehicle code) which can be found on line.

Does your test your emission systems in order to register it?

Desmogging most Toyota engines provides little to no performance increase, and in some cases actually causes a loss in performance and/or mpg's under most DD conditions .  You have to remember that these engines were designed with smog equipment in mind, not added-on crap to existing designs as it was in the '65.

Cant remove any of the smog equipment. Everything 67 and newer gets checked. If you live far out of city limits, in the boonies you can get a waiver and not have to do smog at all. HOWEVER! the people woking at the emission stations are kinda out of the know and as long as you have a jumbal off :pokinit: under there they'll pass you. I passed the CO and HC with flying colors but failed because some of the old bull crap emissions systems were gone. I had to throw the systems back on and passed with the same CO and HC.

ha ha ya i don't think so... I have a weber and pasted the visual. really just have the air injection tubes on the exhaust and some canisters here and there and you'll be good. I didn't even have a egr valve and got by.

Its BS really, our trucks pass the HC and CO easy without all the extra systems in place.
Also if you still have these systems in place i'd say 80% of them out there don't even work anymore. after 150k I'd bet most of the emission systems are chalked full of carbon and gummed up behind repair.

haha i've never seen a thread covering preventive maintenance on the emission systems.
