How to cheat emissions 101! It worked!
Allright guys well incase you haven't heard a buddy of mine with a cc306, LT's, Ported heads, 1.6rr went to get his emmissions done again and agian and after failing the for the third time.
My uncle and his hot rod buddies told us to hook up a compressed air tank and tape it into the exhaust before the cat/sniffer(duh) rig a switch connected to petal, then open up the tank and hope. They said the compressed O2 will change the mixture of expelled exhaust and flush out.
Here is the previous thread!

Well it worked we routed an a compressor hose from the tank under the carpet and out through a rubber plug under the passenger seat and taped it into the pipe right before the cat!
The test was in Georgia and it was a rolling smog w/sniffer on a 94z the NO2 had the biggest noticable diffrence which went from 1100 down 100 where 750 is passing
and CO went from 1.02 down to .42
Hope this might help some of you fellas. Now grumpygeezer(grumpygreaseape) or whoever can take a peak at redneck technology!

I dont own a camera but the hardest part was hooking up a trigger to the pedal we gave up on it and decided to open the bottle (an old propane tank) a half of a turn before we got out of the car. Then we had to drill out a 1/2 inch hole for a quick release tip ( you know the end that you use to connect airtools to the line with, it has a collar that you pull down to hook them together) that we welded on to the pipe so it wouldn't be noticable.

I'd thought of this too....
Emissions tests work based on PERCENTAGE of emissions, not QUANTITY....
So, the more air that pumps out of your tail pipe, the better.... This is why a 8.0L engine can still pass with virtually the same numbers as a 2.0L engine. It's not quantity it's ratio/percentage....
So, if you can pump more clean air down the pipe along with the exhaust air, your percentage will go down, every time.
An easier idea might be rigging the AIR pump to run ALL THE TIME maybe via a switch?.... This would require very little modification of the car. Question is, would it be enough air to make a difference....

here the trick i did after failing 10 times. tryed timing/vacumhoses/denatured alchol/even put my stock injectors in.. still failed..So i thought about it for a sec..
let me try something stupid.. i un hooked 2 injectors and let it run on 6 cylinders.. guess what passed with flying colors.. after i got the paper in my hand pulled the car out of the bay and hooked up the 2 injectors and laughed my a$$ off.. the next year they stopped doing emission testing in our county..
