hmm..... considering .. well nm i'll shut up and think my own thoughts...
smog refs yeah. until u get pulled over for whatever anda cop does what? sends u to a smog ref.. then yer screwed. no motor older than the production year of your vehicle is legal. and never will it be legal in cali. if you know all these ins-n-outs share them elp will get alot more business if everyone knew how to keel their illegally swapped car on the streets. or to get their illegal car illegally passed and certified. i'd do it next month i'll have the cash. but no way in hell will i drop upwards of 1 grand for a very illegal mod let alone around 3 grand. same goes for turbo and supercharger.
if there is a way where i wont get raped by cops and smog refs PLEASE share. i'm sure aVAST majority of ca driven cars and their owners will LOVE you for it...
the xb only weighs like 35 pounds more than an xa so it should run the same..... now if we can get this legal elp will sell thousands of swap kits..... just in cali..... let alone all the lucky non cali ****'s who can and will start buying them now ..
all i know is i dont have the luxury of running dealer plates not requiring me to smog nor do i have the luxury of a show only car.... if i had either of those again i would buy the kit as a nice **** christmas present to myself.
oh another thing . jdm motors do not have egr so unless u could modify an egr valve and piping off of maybe a random 5ef or 4ef if theyd even be feasible it again would not be legal...
that's a major problem with smoggability on sr20 swapped 240s they never make a egr and bam ... to think all those sr20 swaps could be legal.... damn japan not using smog control devices.

Want to pass smog? Go to a ghetto smog cert place and slip the guy a $100 bill. As long as you can pass the sniffer, he will proably look the other way on the year of the engine.

if youve been to socal theres a million s13 and s14's running around w/ sr's and not gettin in trouble w/ state..same goes for the hondas. your making it out to be a bigger problem than it is...most of all my friends that do track racing have some kind of jdm motor in their daily driven car and havent seen any problems w/ the law except the routine exhaust ticket.

. My family owns a previa all-trac (non-supercharged) that was never sold in California due to smog emissions (we live in Cali obviously). the previous owner bought the van from oregon and it was later sold to us through some toyota dealership in san fransisco. every time we get the van smogged, we would get some kind of government rebate for the smog because it wont pass or whatnot and it would say that we were "exempt for the smog test" but we had to test it anywaiz (don't ask. i don't have much clue). well anywaiz, the main point was that the previa is ultimately exempt because we had a non-CA vehicle.
