Im not dancing, just trying to get some real answers. This carb cert sounds like the best info so far. Does Up-Rev have this cert Id in their roms

No, Uprev cannot get CARB approval for the software alone. This is why even stock cars with no tune manipulation fail. Each specific tune that is CARB approved is given a CVN (Calibration Verification Number). When the ecu is checked it must match a CVN in the C.A.R.B. database, No match... No pass.

Uprev knows this information, Why they wouldn't explain this upon questioning is pretty lame IMO. There is a way to copy the CVN to generic tunes but no business in there right mind would chance it lol.


Do the Humpty Hump, come on and do the Humpty Hump :happydance:

Just came back from inspecting my Ridgeline. The guy that does it is a cool guy so I asked him about tuning my Z, he said its not worth the hassle. Getting sent to the MAC center is a huge pain in the ***. He was not able to tell me why they can tell a car has uprev as he didnt know. So still no answers on why:mad:

Did I not answer your question in my post?

Wondering why all those people earlier in this thread wanted to argue and say We were wrong, and they had no issues with inspection.
Now I kinda feel like I wasted $$ on Typhoons and Short tails

No doubt things changed, and quite possibly changed very suddenly. My inspection with Uprev installed went just fine last year, I haven't been back this year to find out. The software that runs the inspection computer can be updated every month.

Starts in section 4.1 at the bottom of page 52 as to why and page 53 as how it's done. Lots of good info throughout the book though.

so if i just got test pipes on my car and i want to get an uprev tune, only to turn the cel light off so i can pass emissions, now im finding out that i will still fail even with uprev so i shouldnt even get it? guess ill have to put the stock cats on or bug extender to pass

Im still trying to confirm this for Mass, not sure about Ny. Cant get a real answer.

alright, and does anyone know if my a/f ratio is going to be off with test pipes if i dont get a tune? everything else is stock

This is the case in Mass. Fact.... Jus tryin to tell ya what I know

So your saying if I do an Uprev tune the Mass inspection WILL detect it and reject the car??

Over a year later can Anyone from Redsox nation confirm??

This thread was hilarious. One good thing about CA, I don't have to worry about emissions until 2017 (since I bought my car new in 2011).

it was .,
