Wuddup guys I currently moved to Las vegas from Hawaii (no emission laws there) and I need some help regarding smog. So first off I have a 99 EX bone stock except for RDX injectors, turbo kit, and a chipped ecu. I recently paid about $200 for smog (under the table) because I needed to get my car registered ASAP. But I was wondering if you guys know of ways I would be able to pass a smog test legally here. From what I am told by many friends they do not do a visual test so as long as my car can be hooked up and it reads a obd2 computer with no codes then I should be able to pass. I have friends who have the same car but with K swaps and they pass with no problem at all. Any help would be nice and highly appreciated because I am totally new to all this emissions stuff. THANK YOU and Mahalos!

A chipped ECU means you converted from OBD2B to OBD1. The smog shop can't "plug in" with an OBD harness. If you have to pass a plug-in test, you'll need to plug in the stock ECU.

 

Yes but for me to plug in the stock ecu I would also have to switch my injectors each time i do a smog test, is that correct?

 

And remove the turbo, yes.

 

or just disconnect a charge pipe so it doesnt build boost right?

 

That would work, too...if the smog mechanic is a flaming idiot.

 

Like he said. The reason k swaps work is kpro allows the obd system to say all is good.

 

Better fork out another $200 under table

 

Ok awesome thanks for your help guys!
