So I'm revisiting the same problem I have yet to find a great answer to. Passing emissions and tuning an OBD 2 vehicle. Figured I would find out how ppl here on honda-tech are doing it. I know the right way to get the tuning done would be down convert to OBD1, chipped ECU, and chrome/hondata/neptune/etc. but that's just not an option when the time comes for emissions (yearly here in PA).

Additionally I know that most piggy back systems are inadequate for proper tuning. So what do you guys recommend? How are others passing emissions? I need something that will allow me to at LEAST tune for compensation of lower compression pistons.

Preferably I would like to not have to rip off turbo, manifold, injectors, etc. each year. So far the best idea I have is to run OBD 1 during the year and pick up something like the AEM FIC for passing emissions. Pull the wastegate spring and just have a light tune for larger injectors and lower compression.

Comments, suggestions?

 

Anyone?

 

id like to know as well, looking at the f/ic but im not sure which would be cheaper to do or more effective?

 

Basically what I do since I'm a factory calibrator is just emulate the test and make it pass using a 5 gas analyzer. I know that's not much help but that's all you get.

 

Honestly, when I add OBD2, turbo, and emissions, I get a blank...

All you can do is convert back once a year, keep your stock Injectors, ECU and Map sensor, keep it plug and play when you put on your new stuff. It will take you about 1-2 hours total to unconvert and convert back...plus the drive to and from the inspection place.

Here's some things you can use to help keep it all plug and play.

- OBD2 Injector Harness
- Conversion Harness
- Map Sensor

PM me and I'll give you specific links to where you can find that stuff...
