A bit annoying for me since I live in an emissions state. I guess I’m going to look into getting a different ecu so I can have the evap disabled. The tuning shop I went to recommended I get a hondata kpro ecu. Anyone have experience with a kpro, is it worth it over another brand?

 

The Kpro is a decent option, but you would have to change out some engine sensors for it to work properly and it can get complicated to setup IMO. What do you have planned for the car? If going boosted eventually, it would probably be best to go ahead and spend a little more for a more advanced ECU, like AEM or Maxx. If interested, I am actually selling my brand new AEM Infinity ecu and AEM s2k harness. You can PM me (or email me at inovatv@yahoo.com if you are unable to PM) if you would like more info.

 

That's a definite issue. Depending on your plans for the car, it might just be worth registering it out of state for the time being. In my case, my car is an 02, and I've just been riding dirty on expired reg since I've gone boosted - no fcks. Haven't had an issue yet for several years, I just avoid cops haha. I'm just going to ride it out for a couple more years until the 25 year rule exempts me. I'm so tired of this emissions nonsense in the fact that a neighboring state (MA) eased their requirements to 15 years whereas my state is still 25.....It's just total bureaucratic nonsense so they can piss off on getting paid taxes then. Kpro is old and not worth it imo, and it doesn't absolutely guarantee you a pass from what I've heard, but YMMV. Reinstalling all of that evap stuff will be a major pita....I'm assuming you also have the air pump removed as well?

 

Plan on keeping it na. Car has skunk2 headers,skunk2 exhaust,and a J’s racing intake. I’d like to avoid have to change out those parts for the hondata to work. I just want to get rid of my engine light for emissions purposes. Should I just go with the aem ecu ?

 

That's the problem. You need an OEM ECU in order to pass emissions (depending on state and how they do it). In my state they hook up to the OBDII port to check monitor readiness. Hondata can supposedly either spoof or disable those to varying degrees of success because it's using an OEM ECU with a sister board soldered to it. If they just do a visual check with maybe a sniffer and see no CEL you might be okay. The main issue is any aftermarket standalone ECU won't be readable at all, so it'll be an instant fail.

And if your air pump has also been deleted:

Those two are your absolute best bet. Only other thing I can think of to get you through the emissions fiasco is finding all of the stock junk to put back on (fck that)

 

Thanks a lot for the information, and yes the air pump is gone.

 

Are there any videos or guides on how to install that evap simulator ?
