Your brilliant wiring modification seems excellent .One advantage is that since it is triggered by an existing relay ,it is easily reversible if some new Smog Law detects the hack.
If you would like a guinea pig to volunteer to use your modification and report back - please PM me .

If everything looks good, we can go from there. Sound good?

I don't foresee any issues at all and I would think even California guys could get away with it as the system should show ready and the only time emissions would be high is at cold start. If you drive your car to the emissions check, it shouldn't trigger the SAI when they test it, but that depends on how long it sits before they get to it.

@particlewave,

I'm going through the SAI torture process and would love to hear more about your kit to present the "ready" signals. If you could, please send me more information on that kit. I you don't have the kit, I'd be happy to assemble or replicate what I'm guessing is an electronic assembly to present differing signals to the ECU.

Being a total newbie on this forum, I don' think I have privileges to DM you. I hope you catch the reply to this thread. And, thanks for the work you've put into your forum contributions, and kits to date :-)

Hmm... In case you're skeptical about a guy from CA asking for a... "closed-course competition use only, not for highway use" modification, feel free to see some of my other posts from the usual 2-wheel forum I used to hang out on...
