View Full Version : Emissions question regarding OBD2

I have a 2001 GSR. It's originally OBD2B, obvously, but I have a turbo installed, with DSM 450's and a Techedge WBO2 hard-wired into the car, powered by an OBD-I uberdata setup. Emissions time is coming, though, and i have put on my stock exhaust, cat, header, intake, and plugged my oil feed and return, but was wondering if i can leave my OBD-I swap in? it would be a horrible pain to have to remove my resistor box, rewire for my old injectors, switch my IAB wires again, rewire in a standard narrowband o2 sensor, and all that crap. I'm sure if i run stock GSR maps and lean out the mixture a bit for insurance i can easily pass smog, but would they plug into my OBD2 port? Any way around this or anybody who can recommend an emissions place that will "understand" my situation?

cliff notes: emissions time for the obd2b->i converted GSR, will pass smog, any way to pass scanport?

When I had to do mine they couldnt connect to the computer so they just bypassed it. As far as the other stuff I dont really have as much as you do so someone else might be better at answering your question.

They never connected anything to my ECU, and it passed emissions with the turbo installed.

It's not really connecting to the ECU, there's a scanport in the center console that they usually plug something into. talking to a bunch of friends, it seems 3 out of 10 of them have been connected to.all 5 of them who went to broomfield's test center didn't get scanported, so i'll try there. thanks!

Right, that's what I figured they connected to, but that is the communications port for the ECU. Longmont didn't do it, neither did Boulder. The punks at the Longmont station were reckless ignorant jackasses though, so go to Boulder instead.

Why do you have to plug the oil lines to the turbo (not great for the turbo, by the way) and put your stock intake back on? They don't care about that here. They just care about any emissions equipment originally on the car (EGR and cats in my case...MR2 Turbo) and the sniffer. Then, they check your gas cap, the OBD2 scan (if they do it) and you're done.

Does anyone know what this optional OBD2 scan actually checks?

I'm pretty sure it only pulls stored codes.

Must suck to live in an emissions-controlled county.

Suckers. :D

I thought that they would trip out about the ECU being OBDI, and the turbo had to be pulled out if i were to test it with stock injectors/ECU. I plugged the oil line by taking the tee off of my firewall and just hooking my oil feed to an electric oil pressure sending unit, so no harm there.
