Default passing NYC dmv inspection with a different ECU

I have a problem passing inspection, cause Hondata shut off my OEM ecu's obd 2 sensor,inorder to work with the kpro, so even if i swap oem injector back n take the kpro out, the computer can't be able to connect to the oem obd2
There is a way to turn it on,be it needed to ship to hondata with $100, n another $100 to turn it off again inorder to use my kpro.
Option 2#: i was thinking, if i can purchase an oem ecu, put back on with oem injector, will it be able to turn my car on,with the supercharge on , will the car run n pass inspection?

I have a model 2007 supercharged tuned with dual ecu k-pro.
I am not willing to part the kpro out, juwt loved it so much,way more than the flashpro.

Help with some answers please.



Thanks
Leo

my kpro super charged s2 passing inspection, even tho hondata changes it up when you plug in the inspection odb2 it reads everything is good every time (atleast mine does). easy way to check is to get a CEL scanner and see if all the emissions stuff says good.

I have an 2005 with kpro and its supercharged with zero issues passing inspection. In the past i tried the stock ecu and injectors and my car didnt start and when it almost started it was just aweful.

As mentioned above, my car it's 2007, DBW,which my kpro it's different compare to urs.
05 n pre kpro can pass inspection easy,but not 06 n up.
It's a different design, which hondata no longer sales them .

option 2 won't work because the ecu you will buy will have some other vin number on it.

why not get a stock ECU and then use flashpro and dump the kpro setup? that's probably the easiest way for you

Find a mechanic who will let you BUY an emissions sticker?

Or is that illegal?

you can use someone elses ecu as long as it doesnt show any codes, the vin # is scanned from the windshield sticker or entered manually in the computer. Would be no different than if you put in a new motor & ecu. I got an inspection on my MR2 that had a swapped engine & ECU from a celica, no issues
