So heres the problem... On my hands I have a 99 civic OBD2B vehicle with a y8 mini swap running a p2p MT OBD2B ecu... I currently do not have a knock sensor... My question is, if I were to convert to OBD1 and run maybe a p28(To avoid the knock sensor problem and for future turbo plans)... Is there anyway I could pass emissions? Would the emissions center run it on the dyno or just turn me away cus the ECU wont respond to thier machine?

 

Anyone?

 

bump cuz i wanna know 2.

 

not sure, just go to a run down gas station for an inspection with a 20 dollar bill in your mouth :]

works for me, i got no cat converter

 

Georgia isn't as bad as CA by any means but I HIGHLY doubt they'll accept a OBD1 ECU in a OBD2 car without valid paperwork that makes it a legal swap and that is NOT fun.

If I were you, I would go and eat $25 to test it, be aware of the fact that if you fail you get a free retry within like 30 days or something. Is the lack of knock sensor throwing a code? I thought emissions testing OBD2 cars was a simple knock sensor check?

 

Yes, the lack of a knock sensor is causing my car to throw 2/3 codes that I believe are... Knock sensor malfunction, and running too rich or too lean. Not sure though... havent checked them for a few months. But bottom of the line, it's throwing a cell. So I guess there's no way to pass being obd1 in an obd2 car?

 

Weird, I lived in Columbus and never recall having to pass emissions?

 

emissions in georgia are only for those within so many miles of atlanta, but it's such a BS money grubbing process they circle is expanding as cities like our money.

Isn't it a lot easier to just install a knock sensor than convert to OBD1 anyway?
