I was wondering, does the following paragraph 15.9 in the 2005 Solo Rules book
apply to ESP class and imply that you CAN change or reprogram your emmisions
chip any way that you want, without restriction? Sometimes reading the rules
is hard for me to understand since it seems to redirect you all over the
place.
15.9 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Vehicles may only exceed the allowances of 13.9 as specified herein.
A. Any ignition setting, adjustment, or system may be used. A stock ignition
sensor on a cam cover may be removed, and the hole may be plugged. This
modification may serve no other purpose.
I noticed that Stock 13.9 says:
13.9 D. No changes are permitted to electronic engine management systems or
their programming.
Or does 15.1 D disqualify this type of change?
D. Alternate computer control modules may be used whenever an equivalent
change to the conventional system is allowed. For example, alternate computer
module control of ignition settings or fuel injection is allowed. Direct
turbocharger boost control by alternate computer control is not, since there
is no equivalent mechanical allowance.
I do not understand what 15.1.D is saying about "an equivalent change to the
conventional system is allowed."
Thanks for any explanation that you can give. My son Dan in ESP class (94
300zx) wants to change out his ECU chip and programming. I wanted to make
sure it would still fit ESP class if he did that. Of course this depends on
first fixing his current exhaust oil smoking problem.
