20v powered celica in Cali, Might be moving in a year or two Options

[netrata]

Ok, here is what I am asking. I might be moving to California soon but don't want to part away from my celica. So, is there any way that I can get my Celica to be "legal" there without taking out the 20v 4age? I hate to sell it because I invested way too much on it to even think about doing that. Also, will it help to add another cat. converter to the exhaust to minimize the smog? Please guys I need some information on this, thanks.

it depends where you smog it, some will just run the sniffer

others get under the hood

if they just run the sniffer its all good just as long as u got 2 02 sensors.

and if worst comes 2 worst there's always paying to pass

I hope I can just go with the sniffer. The down side to the 02 sensors is that the car has only one 4-wire o2 sensor. So I was thinking, would it make any difference at all if I somehow splice into the same 02 sensor wiring and connect another 02 sensor 2 it. If it possible and won't harm the car, than i'll just somehow buy another exhaust manifold, drill a hole, and have the exhaust shop weld one of those threaded spacer looking things for the 2nd o2 sensor( sry don't remember what it was called). If all this works, then the car is definitely coming with me.

NONE of that matters. It's not a USDM engine therefore you automatically FAIL. Sorry... only way to go is to cheat.

FYI... the 20V can pass the sniffer just fine with a cat. Where you fail is visual because it's a non-USDM motor.
