308 GT4 smog system removal

You need a wrench and a BUNCH of brass plugs....LOL!

I've got one to do as well...thanks for starting this thread. Are you going with a new ANSA at the same time?

I think you'll need to change carb jetting, if so.....

 

I've never done this, but there are a few threads on it in the old Fchat archives (remember the threads read newest first)

On a related note: Does removal of the smog system really result in that much addidional power? When I first got my car, the belt to the air pump was disconnected, and I was told to reconnect the belt every month or so to "blow out the system". When I reconnected the belt, I did not feel any difference in power, so I just left it on.

Just remember that our smog laws are not written in stone and are up to the whim of those fine folks in Sacramento.

 

And do those fine folks in Sactown really want your old cars on the road? Just give them an excuse......

 

It is illegal to do the following:

1. Remove dual smog pumps, one next to the 1-4 dizzy, the other 6 inches from the water pump.
2. Belts, and brackets for all the pumps, and 3-way valve.
3. Air injection rails, 1-4 and 5-8, plug up the 8 ports on the exhaust manifolds.
4. Carbon canister, and just plug up the vaccuum ports on the carburetor vaccum lines. Put a gas filter on the fuel tank vent line previously connected to the carbon cannister, and just let it hang.
5. Remove 100-lb muffler with built-in thermal chamber, and sell it on ebay. Or cast it off the side of your boat as an anchor. Replace with after market Ansa or equivalent unit.

It is illegal to do all the above.

 

It is better to wait until the equipment decides to fall off of the vehicle by accident.
