that wont work... its a simulator that automakers andbig tuner companies use to develop the ECU software and test the network protocols. it can act like an ECU but it wont look like the lotus ECU and it also wont do basic things likematch the engine rpms,etc.

What you need is a little box that follows standard obd protocols over CAN and iso9141 and follows the basic engine parameters. it can absolutely be done except for the fact that its totally illegal (federal illegal, not state) so nobody that could do it is going to...


At any rate this whole method of thinking is ass-backwards.. the real question that you should be asking is why doesnt your ECU support OBD. there is no excuse nowadays for any ECU manufacturer to not include full obd on any product that is destined for the street. furthermore, it should be a matter of flipping a switch to put the ECU mapping into a 'clean' mode so that the car can easily pass the test. flip the switch back and you back to performance mode...
