I just put my car on the new dyno smog for California to see what it was pumping out, and the tech told me its very clean. So no worries, maybe except for the new pricing which is expected to be $60 compared to current $30. My mods consisted Pulley, Evo ECU, Supersprint Header and cat-back, and BMP intake. You'll need to install the stock intake since none of the aftermarket intakes for the S is carb approved yet. As for the header they didn't see it. I had all my mods on during the pre-test.

Numbers from the results: (Averages) @ 2875 rpm

HC ppm: 15 (Max: 130)
NO ppm: 18
CO%: 0.00 (Max: 1.00)
CO2%: 15.3
O2: 0.1

 

You just made my day. I'll be smogging my MINI in CA in 1-2 weeks.

 

Wow, even with the header and all, this information is exciting!! Thanks!

:smile:

 

This is good news, thanks for the post!

 

something tells me that i'm nowhere close to those values right now, but that's very useful info CalCooperS.

Right-On...

Great info CalCooper!

I'm new to the world of mods. What have yours done to your horsepower/torque?
Thanks!

 

I feel LIBERATED!!! Now, to find someone who actually kept his original intake.....

 

If a MCS with all those mods can pass smog then why are they so strict about emissions and intakes here in CA...

It has to do with that part about the govt having that extra edge of control over you, even if it's little things like an intake.

Cal - R U running the high flow cat or stock?

This is very good to hear as Southern NY is as tough as you are these days.

 

I asked the same question of Cal on M2, and if he doesn't mind me speaking on his behalf, he did confirm he has the stock cat...
