Re: My Miniram with an EGR also with extra vacumn ports

Looks like you need to finish mounting your coil and map sensor??
Looks nifty

Re: My Miniram with an EGR also with extra vacumn ports

Thank you very much for the pic's, I've been waiting a long time for what this thing looks like on a car since TPIS doesn't have pic's of it installed.

Looks great now we need to see if it passes, good luck. I still think it would have been better it TPIS had the pipe coming from the bottom, it would be very easy to drill the port on the intake.

Re: My Miniram with an EGR also with extra vacumn ports

Thats very cool. After you get a tune let us how well she performs. I am sure your car will surprise a lot of guys with LS style motors.

Were you ever able to pass smog with that set up?

I thought that the miniram would have to have a C.A.R.B. number in addition to the egr to pass smog? That's great that you passed. I'll have to start saving up to get the intake.

Re: My Miniram with an EGR also with extra vacumn ports

I wonder how they would go about the visual check on getting this to pass? (I'm in IL and don't know your rules)
Cool that you did it.

It would need a C.A.R.B. number to pass the visual inspection in CA. He must have found someone who was willing to "overlook" the visual portion of the smog test.
