Fattony Forums Junkie Location: Melbourne Registered: May 2002	Re: Aftermarket ECU legalities Tue, 07 June 2005 00:20 Factory ecus use wats known as closed loop. Hence they use the o2 sensor to alter the AF ratio to meet the standard for emmisions 14.7:1 which inturn allows the car to output correct CO2 and NOx gas emmisions to meet epa requirments, and yes manufaturers do test this before they bring a car out. Closed loop operates within varying throttle and rpm ranges. An aftermarket ecu does not allow for this function. Though here in victoria you can have a car pass emisions with an aftermarket computer, you a have to tune it to meet the appropriate ADR for the build year of the car (pre 6/76 does not need to meet shit all requirements and u can run a aftermarket ecu) Then you will have to have the car tested by the appropriate autorised testing facility, Ford, Holden, Toyota ect and there is one private firm called VIPAC who do emmision testing and they will provide you with all the certification to prove that the car is epa legal so you can prove to epa that the car is 100% emmision legal. Though this all comes at a price from memory i think Ford were last charging $2500 for the test and VIPAC about $1500. If your car fails the test first time you will have to pay the same amount again. So its really not a cheap excersize. [Report message to a moderator]
