So you want to remove emission components and put a turbo on your car
and think it'll pass smog?

sure, no problem

/sarcasm.

Smog it then throw on the turbo kit and flog it.

^this....
and for the sake of your engine..
don't just install a turbo kit...
you need injectors and some sort of tune or fuel management and a wideband gauge just for starters...
and a boat load of other things to do it right..

im going to smog it first, and break my new motor in first... change the oil at 1000miles, then again at 3 miles then put the turbo on... i have sr 370cc injector, i have a safc2, i might get a tune ecu after only if needed though.

you should read some posts about getting ref'd, just so you aren't surprised if it happens to you... Especially in SoCal, i've read a lot of posts from people down there about hoods getting popped. Check out the SW States forum too.

im from the socal area and i dont have a turbo in my S14 and i have a hard time passing smog..

pass smog then drop in that turbocharger.. but droppin in that turbo isnt is simple as you think.. you'll need to do A LOT to the internals of that KA..

or do what some people do.. pay a shady smog center to pass your whip..
