Topic: 81 Toy California Smog

[mikerob]

Im looking into buying and 81 Toyota from Nevada.  The truck doesnt have any of the Smog components in the Engine compartment or the Exhaust. It has a 22r  What would I need to add?

[ninja turtle]

everything.

What is everything,  I know ill need a Cat, but what censors or other things would I have to add

[EarlKann]

Lots and lots and lots of vacuum hoses.

the 81s were actually a lot wierder than the later trucks for some reason.... was the vehicle originally a nevada vehicle or was it originally a CA vehicle? it might make a difference...

 i put a weber on and had to pull all the smog crap off because a friend of mine said he could get it to pass way easier with the weber then stock. well he was full of  . so i swaped everything back to stock, rebuit the carb and now im alot closer to the numbers i need for cali. there is a ton of smog stuff on my 79 but the 80-83 ive seen have a lot less. do you have a manual?

[Tool Pimp]

Register it out of state if you can 

[mikerob [OP]]

It had all the California emissions originally so I thought that might make it easier.  Ill get a manual, I was just trying to get some ideas.

there a 81 2wd at the reno picknpull. the blocks gone but there was a lot of somg stuff still there.... well that was about two weeks ago...... and its 2wd. best bet, try to find a donor. sorry im not much help.

[jimbo74]

it used to have CA emisisons and its all been removed... that sucks... try to find everything that a CA truck had then, and piece together a new system... otehrwise you are hosed

Not if the smog sticker under the hood says "non catylist"   That's what my 80 says and I passed cali smog sans cat, they never batted an eye at it.

[ninja turtle]

lucky.

That would be nice.  Ill have to look for that.

sticker under the hood will tell you a lot,Chilton manuals have schematics,you will need a lot of parts and Cali smog is more complicated than federal smog,federal limits are more laxed
