I LIVE WHERE YOU DO NOT HAVE EMISSION TEST. MY QUESTION IS DO I NEED ALL OF MY EMISSION EQUIPMENT TO RUN I HAVE 1988 TOYOTA 4RUNNER 4CYL EFI AUTO ABOUT TO HAVE A MANUAL TRANS INSTALLED THIS WEEKEND. OR WHAT CAN I REMOVE.

 

first off CAPS hurt my eyes awwwwww. and secondly the only things i would do to alter the emissions is exhaust and intake, there is much more that would affect all that much, i live in california so i have to leave all my stuff on, kinda sucks.

 

depends on the state vehicle law. Its not worth removing unless the cat plugged.

Some states dont have emissions, but still look to make sure everything is in place, some states dont do anything.

 

Why remove anything? You're not going to see noticeable gains in power, fuel economy, etc. Also, as a rule of thumb, when typing IN ALL CAPPS!!!! people think you're "yelling". It's easier reading with normal punctuation.

 

THE EGR SYSTEM CAN BE REMOVED

....but, it may affect your O2 sensor readings.

 

Wouldn't the 02 make the necessary adjustments? I removed my EGR about a week ago and all I noticed is that my "turbo lag" is gone...thank God....

 

Sorry about yelling. I thought i would gain alittle power there is no law where i live no emission check. I have never changed the cat the truck has 273000mile i was thinking of cutting it off.

 

i do it to my trucks (ssshhhhhhhh) cuz it makes them sound better, i have them both on now cuz i have to smog it to sell one and just bought the other.
