So on the topic of getting our ST's smog ready after installing mods and tunes, I've gotten so many different answers on this topic from many people running all different mod setups. Everything from reflashing tunes, to installing defoulers, all the way to "you don't need to do anything".
I'm running an E30 Stratified Tune and the rear O2 Sensor is disabled (Catted MBRP Downpipe). As of right now if I check my I/M Readiness Monitor, I'm showing Three (3) not ready monitors. Oxygen Sensor, Oxygen Sensor Heater, and Catalyst. You're only allowed 1 Not Ready monitor in Nevada for smog.
Now a guy I know in town is running nearly the exact same setup as me, full bolt-ons (Catless Downpipe) with a Strat E30 tune, and he tells me his rear O2 sensor is disabled too, and that is the only monitor showing "not ready" on his car. How can this be?
Is it as simple as having Stratified turn the O2 sensor on in the tune and everything will be fine? I've had people say "no need to run defoulers if you're tuned" Well that's great and all, but my 3 monitors showing not ready will fail smog inspection even with a tune.
Thanks for any help.
