Old California Smog got me. I didn't know that an adjustable BOV will fail inspection. My 2g has a Greddy UICP and a Greddy Type S BOV. Is there someway to adapt my stock BOV to the Greddy UICP? The smog tech said all was perfect except for the visual.

Thats wierd, i passed smog with the same set up. Greddy BOV Type S and there UPIC Pipe. did you recirc the BOV?

 

[MPDano]

Yup, and thats exactly what I told him. That it was recirculating. He said that it must be NON adjustable. Lame, I know.

I passed with pretty much everything in my mod list on the car when it came to smog.

Trick, ask the shop before you go if they care about numbers or visual, most only care about numbers.

That is pretty lame, i also told my smog guy who did my car that it was a Bypass Valve, not a Blow Off Valve. But your right thats the lamest thing i have ever heard


Were in Cali are you? i know i deal with So Cal cops bullshit all the time

I live in Sunny San Diego area. East County area. I really wasn't thinking about it when I took it in. I just did a fresh set of plugs and oil change, which I do for all my cars before a smog. Anyways, dug around my garage and found my old plastic stock POS UICP and Bypass valve. I'll just throw it on to pass smog then I'll put it back on. I got a free retest stamped on the paperwork.
