TVS900 Basics

[Mendra72]

For the last 4 years I've been doing an ECU swap to pass NJ inspection. When I had Jan's street header the car would pass with the ECU swap, since I now have his track header, I have to swap the header back to stock or the car fails the visual inspection. I intend to put a hi flow cat back into the exhaust with a Vband section so all I would have to do is swap in the cat for the visual inspection.

When you swap back in the stock ECU - you have to have the ECU EWS system re-initiated / reset because the car will not start once with the stock ECU once it's been through a couple drive cycles with the Vipec. You should also be aware that if you run Jan's 3-bar MAP sensor - you have to switch back to the stock sensor with the factory ECU or you will throw a lean code on your way to inspection (found out this the hard way).

As far as passing the EVAP/ Comprehensive Component Monitor / Catalyst self diagnosis - The car passed all with Jan's street header.

Hope this is of some use to you.

If anyone has figured out how to do this as a practical matter, on a Vipec + Stroker + TVS car... I'm all ears. Because I'm gonna "need" it...

"Passing" inspection means getting the car "normal" enough to run and pass the O2, evap and catalyst self diagnostics, at least for an hour or two, once per year. With no SES/CEL/EML light illuminated, but with the lights still functional. Ideally without having to swap any hardware (other than maybe ECU) to do it... enlighten me...
