Re: OBDII Mt conversion???
 

Find a 92 parts car, and switch them, basically. Or say, you have 2 cars, just switch them, and the plates. I think only the one on the dash and the one in the door jamb would need to be changed. If it matters that much for someone to go through the trouble, it's doable. People are lazy and don't pay too much attention to things like that.

Switching of VIN plates is illegal,
or were you just kidding?

Re: OBDII Mt conversion???
 

Let me check some info here, If you use the obd2 to obd1 jumper are you using both ecu's, so that obd2 diag would think the car (for emissions is correct?
Or would it be just using the obd1 ecu to keep the cel off?

but if emissions tried to connect to it would fail?

In Conn they take the odometer reading and put it. In the computer when they do the test . If it was higher before they flag it as a turned back. They test all cars here back to 75 I believe.

Re: OBDII Mt conversion???
 

No, you'd be using an OBD1 ECU just to keep the CEL off for an MT swap, but you could also use the ECUtune stuff, and check codes without a scanner. And it would be easier to find an OBD1 ECU than an OBD2 one, if it needed replacing. It wouldn't really help pass inspection, because when they plug in the OBD2 scanner it won't be connected to the ECU.

I was, um, kidding? I would never do anything illegal, and neither should anyone else.

For the odometer issue, couldn't you just say the gauge cluster was replaced and is no longer accurate? (Hypothetically of course...) On the FL titles, there is an option for exactly that. Is that not a common thing?

Re: OBDII Mt conversion???
 

Yes, also the DMV may issue a branded title but it's not like the car becomes unsellable should the time come. You would just have to disclose that there is a branded title for odometer rollback. Also, the fact still remains that while they may jot down the mileage, they still become exempt after a certain time frame. As I said, most states it's 20 years old or less. In PA, they will note the mileage for every inspection, however you can still put in as exempt for the title on anything 10 years or older as well.

I'm just finishing my 6MT swap on my 96 OBDII, but I'm also running Hydra so it wouldn't help you much with OBD functionality or check engine lights... Thankfully in MASS anything older than 15 years no longer gets plugged into the system during inspections.

10 years in PA...15 years in MA...25 years in the communist state of NY!!!!!!!

Re: OBDII Mt conversion???
 

This crossed my mind at work today: Does anyone know what code is specifically thrown in regards to the tcu on an obd2 swapped svx?

Re: OBDII Mt conversion???
 

Got it today, thanks.

Re: OBDII Mt conversion???
 

How did that adapter work out for you ID? Do you know where the OBD1 lines go? Do they end up in the OBD2 connector? There are cables that adapt OBD2 readers to OBD1 connectors. I am looking into whether or not that could be used to satisfy emissions requirements.

Re: OBDII Mt conversion???
 

Bump to this... I am started my conversion over the weekend. I didn't get a chance to sample the TCU to ECU signal for the OBD2, so I'm hoping someone else has been getting closer.

Re: OBDII Mt conversion???
 

I may give it a shot this weekend. Been too busy to think about going into that rat's nest while hanging upside down. I have a handheld scope here waiting to be used.

Oh please, please, please! I want to have a functioning cchek engine light.
