> So what if you have a vin encoded ecu becasue you are running a ls7 lets say, why not go over it with HPT and enter the VIN of the car you are putting the motor in and lessen the chance of a flag coming up. And mileage if its stored on the pcm, etc. Convert as much data as it can.

> Also you are saying it watches data streams too. I understand that it it probably would like to see post cat 02 voltage movements, evap relays opening and closing, and everything else when its plugged in for a pass/fail. BUT I have 2 cars that I know for a fact those sensors would have shown ZERO movement, but becasue the monitors were hard set to pass, it was plugged in, tested and passed with no problem. Thats was even with the engine NOT running, just key on. Infact the guy doing the inspection bet me $12 or what ever the cost for a retest after a fail cost, I would fail becasue I told him the engine didnt even need to be running. He said the same thing, it must be running or it will fail. Needless to say he was blown away when it passed and my cars didnt make a peep. So that right there tells me that they dont need to see data flowing in order to green light the car and pass it.

If my registration is yanked 8 months later, cool. I will just sell the car to my wife and do it all over again. (I probably could also take it off the road, and a week later re-register it anyways)

It doesnt matter that you are taking old technology and replaceing it with newer, more efficient technology… its still wrong. But hey, you can still take a 1994 what ever and put a pile of shit gas guzzling ozone killing POS engine in it and thats just fine.

Think about it this way. Across NYS how many thousands of inspection are done everyday? Even if all the data could be logged and stored for a short period of time you would have to do something to throw a red flag. I do know for a fact that a guy I worked with got in trouble because he plugged the wrong vehicle in for an inspection. He had a truck and a car that were both getting a sticker was in a rush and accidentally plugged the truck in twice. DMV flagged it and paid the shop a visit about a month later. Wound up being a big headache and one very pissed customer. Moral of the story make your stuff legit as possible and don’t call attention to it and you should be fine. In the case above the inspections were flagged, because the machine saw the same vin from the PCM twice even though different registrations were flagged for inspection.
