Hi guys,
Tried the search option but can't find what I'm looking for. I know that the Cali 1976 914 2.0 has a smog pump/system to pass emission test. If such a system is not needed in your area, would you remove it or leave in place ? Will you gain more power without this system ? If you remove the pump should you only block of the lines with caps you can buy at AA or else or are there any other modifications needed ? Other exhaust ? thks yr advise krgds Dax |

Hypothetically speaking, you could just loosen the smog pump swing bolt, reach in and remove the belt driving the smog pump, and leave everything else intact. That would give you all the "extra' horsepower lost by the engine from turning the smog pump while also saving wear and tear on the smog pump belt drive pulley on the front of the engine. Plus, you have the added advantage that if you ever wanted to restore the smog system for any reason, you just put the belt back on.
