Is an S-AFC technically legal, cuz you can program your car to run lean right, so if you have emissions illegal parts on your car the smog place wouldnt notice right. So if you could fool the smog people, woudnt this be illegal, would the smog people know what it was if they saw it in your car.

took my car to couple smog guys. none of em cared. one worked for a dealership, one was a friend who works at a smog shop, and the other was an independent smog shop. all asked what it was, i told them, all said cool it could help you pass smog. no questions asked about its legality

SAFC helps you in terms of smog legality? hmmm... sounds interesting. also if you are doing a smog check and they ask you, can't you just be straightup honest and tell it's an engine management thing that does a/f ratio or somethign? (aslong as it passes the smog right?)

Well, if the smog tech has the slightest idea of what it is and what it does (that's if the smog tech even cares, which I doubt most will) then you could fail for having it because it ties into your computer which means you're tampering (modified) with a emission control devices. I didn't know this until recently but you could fail for having a A/F ratio gauge because you would be tampering with the O2 sensor.

all of them probabaly could have cared less. they all know it lets me modify my fuel maps via tricking the ecu but none of them cared.
AFC with an SR can be a good idea if you know what your emissions are base line and know what to do to change each value and how that corresponds to cylinder conditions. I did use my AFC to lower my NOx count at the penalty of increasing my HC and CO emissions if that makes you feel any better. lol
