Battery relocation

[MarkVIIIS]

Does anyone here with their battery relocated to the trunk have a kill switch installed. I'm trying to figure out exactly what I need to comply nhra rules when I went to the track they said I could race but next time they wouldn't let me if I still didn't have one. If knew I was gonna have to do all this I would have never bothered with this i don't think it was really worth the effort.

What year is your car?

 

[MarkVIIIS]

97

Every time you shut off switch it will clear your OBD11 correct?

 

[MarkVIIIS]

Yeah

As far as that goes, you're just clearing the adaptive learning (ex: LTFT's), assuming that you have it enabled in the tune. I run a '97 MN12 4.6L EEC, and I shut the battery switch off every time I park the car in the garage. No issues here, and I've run this setup since '05.

The problem I was thinking is if like in my state to get sticker you have to be OBD 11 ready. That can sometimes take over 100 plus miles to reset. I have trunk cut off on my 90LX and its EEC4 so no biggie there.

Ah. Yes, the same is true here. While I'm running a OBD-II system, it's in a '90 car, so no emissions test required. In that case, you'd need to leave the switch "ON" for at least a few drives before heading to get the emissions test.

I just got a sticker the other day with my cel on guy said anything before '99 doesn't need an emissions check I never knew that

Lucky you. Here in ontario it's vehicles older then 1988 :-( Orwell mine all run clean.

My state 96 and up needs OBD11 computer hook up to get sticker. That why I just bought my 95 to add to my 93. LOL Its the newest I can own and modify cheaply.

Typical gubmint bullscat.I guess its too hard to make it all the same across the states.

My state doesn't have any inspections period. That makes it easy.

I lucked out when I bought mine..didn't think anything about emissions testing at the time and later found out pre 96 is all obd 1.
