Message :I was wondering if anyone has been able to pass emissions when running a standalone ecu on their Z? I was looking at the autronic SM2 w/ autotune or the EMS standalone but I use this car as a daily driver and therefore would really need it to be able to pass smog. Also, if you have passed with these or any other standalone, could you please give some feedback on ease of use and overall happiness with the product. Thanks again.

I'm pretty ignorant on the subject of standalones and tuning, but the purpose of a standalone is to be able to finely tune your fuel, spark, ect, right?

Couldn't you program a setting into the standalone that is optomized to provide the best emissions, at the expense of power? I know in PA, when I get tested for emissions, The car gets put on rollers and driven in first gear at 14mph. I would think with a standalone you could tune the engine to provide minimal emmisions at those rpms.
