Acording to the GA Clean Air Comission & the EPA as of 1998 placing an engine older then the chassis model into a car is illigal... which is bullshit.

Since I used the GTi-R ecu it makes it hard to lie that there's an OBDII engine in my car.

It was a ton of B.S. to deal with... I wanted to jump her desk and hit her upside the head.

Seems to me it's not the engine but the ecu that's the issue - if you can tie the right pieces to the ecu and the ecu is obdII, neither the shop nor the computer is going to see the difference whether the block is 2008 or 1984. Dunno for sure, but seems to me if anybody can figure it out right it'd be Calum, altho I'm not sure he's had to mess with smog tests yet. AND, on the old forum, there was a discussion about putting a resistor in the right place so the ecu thinks there's a smog sensor (I think in this case it was the egr).

True, it is really the ECU that is throwing everything off. But I like the Mines tuned ecu. Granted it's nothing special, but I honestly don't feel like switching out all the sensors and crap to run a OBDII ecu just to get the car registered in my county. Sensors and a tuned ECU will cost a good deal. Granted, I have been thinking hard on getting a realtime from Calum, but even then I was still going to send him a old gti-r OBDI ecu.

Now, if what you mean is to rig up and OBDI to pretend to be an OBDII ecu, I am all over that idea. That would solve all the problems. I wonder if Calum would be up to that chalange... course, that also sounds very, um whats the word, shifty. *shrug*
