#334101 Well my car is a full obd2 swap but I know as soon as I tell them an obd1 car is obd2 they won't listen and probably try obd1 testing. Will I fail? How do I pass without converting down?

#334107 I live in Texas. Its a B18B1 swap. My inspection isn't up until September, but I wanna get any issues I might have resolved before then.

#334108 How do they test obd1 vs obd2 in your state? In ohio, obd1 cars are put on the Dyno with a sniffer in the exhaust pipe. Obd2 cars are only diagnostic. So here an obd1 car with obd2 swap would just go on the Dyno/sniffer. Swapping to something newer isn't the problem in most cases. It is when you put an older, less efficient, higher emissions engine into a newer vehicle that causes problems at emissions check.

#334147 It will be treated as an OBD1 car. It's based on the chassis, not the engine.

I'm surprised Texas has emissions testing.

#334151 Thanks for the help guys. Yea in Texas we have emissions tests in the metro areas, Houston, Dfw, Austin, San Antonio. Messed up thing is if I lived 10 miles down the road it'd only be safety
