Yes, it's that time again - my emissions sticker is up this month and I'd like to bring the s2k to shop and get it inspected. Down side is my AEM EMS obviously will not pass. I'm pretty sure I still have all the emissions related parts. Would I be able to esentially swap my stock injectors + stock ECU into the car and still have her work with the turbo and what not installed (obviously I would be driving like a grandma)? My main concern would be misfire codes / CAT ready code / and maybe my EGR valve since I removed that - all codes that would fail the car....


Any suggestions?

Get the Izzy Engineering air pump delete kit, once you wire it into the ECU harness you will never have to worry about that crap again. I think its $100.
O2 de-fouler for the test pipe. Take out the wastegate spring to be safe. Swap stock injectors & ECU, should be good to go.
Just need to drive 50 miles or so to set the ECU readiness.

Its basically the same as what I do, only Im S/C'd now so instead of pulling the wastegate spring I remove the SC belt.

[Spec_Ops2087]

I actually just purchased it reading one of your older threads, thanks


Is there anyway to false the secondary O2 sensor? My EGT sensor is directly behind the turbo and I'm not sure if I want to put the primary O2 sensor in this location. My AEM A/F gauge sensor is located where the secondary O2 sensor would approximatly be located if I had the stock exhaust and that's where I planned on putting my primary O2 sensor. There are no more bungs for the secondary sensor...any way to fake it?

go to pepboys boys or any parts store buy a spark plug non fouler 42009 i believe the part number is...its 2 in a pack ur gonna drill 1 of them with a 1/2 drill bit the other stays the same...screw ur o2 sensor in the 1 u drilled out then screw them both together and install in o2 sensor location u should be good to go after that

So I wrote up a list on things I have to switch back to drive on the stock ECU without a CEL:

1. Wire in the airpump delete kit
2. Reinstall stock MAP sensor
3. Reinstall the stock injectors and remove resistor box
4. Reinstall the stock ECU
5. Reinstall the O2 sensors
6. Remove the intercooler piping so no boost gets to the motor

I think that covers it, correct me if I'm wrong...


BTW, stock ECU can run with a 3mmHG without a CEL correct?

[PUNCHIN-IT]

That's crazy. I think if you go to shea stadium junk yard you can pay them around 250 to pass you. I did it when i was turbo charged. had CEL and everything. I don't know how they did it, but it worked.

[Spec_Ops2087]

Assuming I have all of the parts, I can install everything in a few hours so it's not that big of a deal as long as the car can run with a 3mm HG with the stock ECU. I think I might just be missing a few parts...

AFAIK the car will run OK (no cel) with 3mm HG & stock ECU. Your list looks complete, I forgot about the MAP sensor.

damn 250, I went to a place that was $100. But you can only do that every other year. When you renew registration every 2 years you need to get a "real" inspection

[PUNCHIN-IT]

Ohh really nice. I never knew that lol

[Soul Coughing]

Car will run fine with a 3mm headgasket and the stock ECU. I will have to do this again this coming january and i think i'll just purchase one of those airpump deletes depending on how well his works for you. If you have your wideband connected to C16 on the wiring harness you'll have to reinstall the stock wiring too. I used a quick connect connectors for it so i could reattach these things easily.

[Spec_Ops2087]

^^ Yep, luckily I also had simple spade connectors so that was easy to plug back in.

Still looking for some OEM injector clips / MAP sensor clip...

[PUNCHIN-IT]

So did you ever get the S to pass emissions? If so what did you have to do to get it to work?

[Phill24]

x2^^^^

[Spec_Ops2087]

Just got all the parts to put the fuel / emissions system back to stock. I'll start converting back this week with a inspection test hopefully next weekend / week.

[Billman250]

I have a better idea. Call me

[NFRs2000NYC]

I was gonna tell you the same thing Bill is going to tell you.

I just got back into town the other day and went to get the s2k inspected - passed with flying colors so now I'm good till 2013.

So if anyone wants to know, with spark plug nonfoulers + stock injectors / MAP sensor / ECU + air pump delete a turbo s2k can pass no problem. You just have to remember to never get into boost with the stock ECU which isn't as easy as it sounds

Now to reinstall the parts + oil change + new HID bulbs (since mine were getting dim) and I'll be ready for the spring

couldnt you just disconnect one of the intercooler pipes to ensure the ecu never sees boost?

You could but I didn't have a filter cone that would fit the piping and I don't like running the engine without one. Either way, just have to use a light foot and it's all good.

Very cool, I'll be doing the same thing in the next couple weeks. You got the 60 dollar air pump delete kit right?

Can someone PM me the illegal way. I dont care how much it costs, I am not putting the stock stuff back in the car...................

Is it even possible on an OBDII car?

[JoeyBalls]

??? Do they need to have something plugged in to print the sticker?
