Thank you for further confirming my posts.... Yes, swaps are def a pain in the ass, but you can swap most anything if it follows what I said in my first post

Found another article with a good explanation of the new testing procedure: https://www.thedrive.com/cars-101/41...tune-flash-faq
Would be interested to hear if someone has failed after flashing back to stock or has passed despite a tune. Or what the process through the referee is like in the case of a fail. Anyone had their car smogged in the last couple weeks? |

Ie no truck engines into cars and vice versa Now it is even harder as you can't even unlock Ecu for immobilizer bypass since it may create a different check sum and cause it to fail smog It's a lot of backwards laws happen, and it got worse It's not about emissions since a newer engine will ALWAYS run cleaner than one that is 20 yrs older If it was about cleaner air , they should ONLY care about what comes out the tail pipe |

It's so much easier, faster, and safer to check the computer versus putting the car on a dyno with a tailpipe sniffer. Quote:
Changing the tune changes the 1's and 0's, so you'll get a different checksum. Forcing a known-good value is a felony. You cannot pass the checksum using an aftermarket tune. Stock, MPE, Dinan, etc are all certified, so they will have a valid checksum. They also check to see if your ECU is locked (supposedly preventing tunes). Even on a stock tune, you will fail with an unlocked ECU. Hardware mods that can be controlled by a stock tune won't cause a checksum failure. But you'll fail the visual if it looks aftermarket without an EO number. |

Also, the ecus can be unlocked and tuned without any traces to CAL ID/ CVN, so it's still not exactly that different. I can unlock these M2C ecus without any trace at all, anywhere.

The unlock is a data hack in the dme. It does modify the checksums/CVN, so it will still be considered "tampered".

Didn’t they already go after plastic straws, because those high capacity rapid delivery devices cause death in poor innocent persons.
