Therotical Emissions Question.....

Featured Replies

Hey guys,

This is the first time ive posted in quite a while.....sorry, just been real busy. Im still drudging through the trenches restoring my 77 280z, and still doing body work and the like. However, after I get her back to road worthy status, Im going to drive her around for awhile on the stock motor until i save up enough paper for the MSA stroker kit. Also, I wanna still use FI, and i plan on upgrading to a Lonewolfperformance intake system with o-ring style injectors. So heres, my question, take I take all the smog and emission system crap off of my motor (to clean up the overall look of the engine bay) and the FI still work right? Or will my computer sh*t the bed? Any other problems you can think of?

Thanks Guys!!

so..............no one can help me? c'mon, surely one of you guys knows something!

I don't know anything about FI, but I'm guessing that most smog stuff must be retained for the car to run well, unless you change out to Megasquirt or that of the like.

I have played with the EFI, but never stripped off the emissions equipment-I think you might be better off trying to find the answer to that one on HybridZ.

The other suggestions I have are

1) Unplug and see what happens

2) Check the FSM for trouble shooting engine problems that contain references to the emissions system.

I am sure it can be done, but not of the complication involved-though there are only two or three sensors involved at the most.

Will
