Wanna Ditch The Smog Pump

Joey5.0 · Jul 12, 2006

Can i do this without my car running like crap? I wanna do a BBK Offroad H and BBK Shorty Headers.

as long as you dont have cats the smog pump is useless. Before my engine swap, i still had the smog pump and it did nothing, when i pulled the engine, i found all the rubber hoses were melted from the headers.

Get a good catless exhaust and ditch it, block the thermactor holes on the heads and take that hunk of junk off. get a shortbelt and your set!

What do i use to block the holes?

smittyb · Jul 12, 2006

Bolts.

Or you can cut the tube near the firewall and plug it.

i cut off the ends of the tubes where they bolt down to the head.

then i flipped the piece around so the flat side touches the head and blocks the hole. someone on here mentioned how to do it and it worked lol!

Where is the Egr? I dont wanna cut that buy accident...and if i cut the Smog pipes what do i plug those wholes with?

NFGTragedy · Jul 13, 2006

I used (2) 9/16-12 grade 8 bolts with 12mm copper washers to plug the holes. I cut the bolts down a bit to keep from having to turn them all day. This should be an easy task with some gear ratchets and a grinder... Took no more then 10mins for me to do it.

Before I had my heads off, the threads in the holes were so packed with carbon, I could not thread a bolt in. So, I cut the tube back near the firewall and used some of that steel in a tube epoxy type stuff you knead together to plug the line. Worked great, but then again I guess you could do like foxfan said and not have the tube sticking out at all.

Joey5.0 · Jul 14, 2006

so with the smog pump out, and an off road h-pipe, my car will run fine right?

smittyb · Jul 14, 2006

Thats what I did, but you can buy plugs from Summit to acomplish the same thing.

Anyone have a Link to the Summit Plugs?

Joey5.0 · Jul 16, 2006

Anyone at all lol?

DEFWISH · Jul 17, 2006

careful the emissions nazis are gonna get you... have you passed emissions w/ old set up before?

smittyb · Jul 17, 2006

Seriously, why pay the 10 bucks "handling" fee when you can just go buy some 9/16 bolts for a buck or two?
