Actualy i failed my first try. Because my of my adjustable fuel pressure regulator and my crankcase ventalation wasnt going back into my intake system. Made a hoopty fix and passed. I made it easy on the rollers even with the H/C/I, definitly had tons of room. Probably just the 4 huge cats on the stock H that saved me a lot. So the Crane 2031 will pass CA Emissions rollers as long as you use the stock H, just thought i would let everyone know.

I don't have to get tested until next year, but I'm sure my car won't have a problem passing either.

Im just glad its over. I cant wait to get my o/R X back on. It sounds like someone screaming with a hand over their mouth right now. I HATE it. Also the power loss is pretty big. I can feel it big time.

How did you fix the AFPR? Did you have it set too high?

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

If you can't pass, just poor some ether alcohol in the tank.

congrats on passing, its nice to know that im able to put that cam in my car. Do any of you guys pay extra and get the car passed even tho there would be no way in hell your car would ever pass? because i was looking for a big ass cam but cali smog is gay and i need to pass smog. if you know a place that will take money under the table PM me or something...it will be worth the drive

You have to put the stock one back on. It is illegal to have an adjustble fuel pressure regulator. So i just threw the stock one back on. I actually have it set a 38psi right now which is stock because of my 24#ers, you just cant have it so it doesnt matter what its set at.

Its not like what you think it is. Ive passed with no problems, and Ive always been into modified cars. All you do is put your stock h-pipe on. Big whoop. It takes 15 minutes. I heard they are gayer in other states. Like they check for bald tires, signals and do a complete vehicle inspection. We dont have that crap here. Hell, I passed at test only, with no tailpipe, no muffler in my big ass jacked up Bronco. Test only didnt care about my charcoal can being deleted on my cobra either. It was funny too seeing my car on the dyno, whistling and rumbling the garage away, and the guy (Test only, Ill remind you again) didnt say one word or act like he cared.

Yeah i went to this place because i heard they are lenient and only care that your smog **** is hooked up. So i threw my stock H on there and went. But they failed me the first time for gay ass little ****. My FPR and my Crancase venilation. SO ****in gay. Im definitly not going back there. It really depends on who you get.

I just paid 60 bucks and the smog guy hooked up his durango while I just waited in my car. I didn't even have to get out.
