I hope im not opening a can of worms but....

but does anyone have an opinions or any experience using OBD2 simulators. aka this?

I have a 1996 Infiniti J30 with a lame N/A VG30DE same as the Z32 and I really want to swap in a VH45DE or a RB25DET in its place. The only obstacle i have is that my car has OBD2 diagnostics and i live in Des Plaines/Chicago ILLINOIS which we do emissions/smog for cars 1996 and newer.

The engines i want to swap in are OBD-1/pre-1995 or from Japan which have no emissions parts. By using this simulator in its place, it reads that the emission controlled parts of the engine are functioning correctly even when its completely omitted from the engine.

So does anyone have any experiences with simulators? PM is good too.

(I had a emissions check done on my 1999 Benz E320 and they pretty much hooked up the scanner to look for codes, turned off the engine, start, and check again for codes. No poppping the hood and no tailpipe sniffer. )

In for an answer. I asked on a different forum and was "nicely" told not to ask about that sort of thing. Basically it's less than legal, so finding info is apparently hush hush, or old and never went anywhere.

Wow that looks like a neat little "tool". Unfortunately it seems the "xtremeobd2.com" site is no longer up. Lots of people could really use this, unfortunately yes, it seems like it'd violate quite a few laws.
