What you need to do is find an OBD2 LS ECU, and heres why:
OBD2 diagnostics and emissions is dependant on passing based on IF YOU THROW A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. You could have the absolute worst polluting car in the WORLD, but as long as its OBD2 and doesnt throw a CEL, you pass.
What we reccomend is using an LS ECU because the LS ecu wont look for VTEC issues, Butterflies, knock sensor etc. What you want is the simlpest an easiest way to get the car to run without a CEL. if you use a GSR ecu and it wants to throw a code for say, VTEC SPOOL, you wont pass. But if you use an LS ecu, LS doesnt have VTEC so it wont look for those parameters.
Get an OBD2 ecu, make sure there is no CEL , if it throws a CEL, take it by Autozone and have them scan it an report back and ill tell you what it is.
Youll need a cat to pass VISUAL inspection, but some places dont even check for that. Depends on how picky they are.
It wont pass with an OBD1 ECU because the Emissions place wont be able to communicate with an OBD1 ECU. Also, you need a USDM ecu, JDM wont work for emissions either.
good luck
