Mass inspection and emission assignment
Aahh Emissions, In Mass you need an engine combination tracable to a production combination I.E. go with what your donor was, no crate engines in this state anymore! I had talked to the MAC representitive prior to getting my appointment, he said I would absolutly need Evap, tank pressure sensor, Cats, O2's, and maybe an Air pump, so I did my best, had the ecu flashed with the latest updates for my donor Vin and went from there. Mine required all that I mentioned above, so I installed everything and got the computer happy that everything was working, did it in about three weeks of thrashing and scrounging! I then called the Mac and scheduled my appointment for the emissions part.
The results; everything fits and doesn't look too ugly ...and I'm finally done! Passed my inspection and emissions assignment! I was told by them that I'm probably one of the first to get it done in the state this year!
Next year all I have to do is go to any inspection station and they will inspect and test to the assignment for my engine combo, it gets tied to your Mass VIN in the emissions inspection system.
YES, it was a pain in the ..., but I learned a lot and now have a fun ride that is good to the environment! I'm sorry for the delay in responding, been busy doing and driving! be safe out there!
