Anyone heard of a JDM Integra LS motor?
 

Yeah just recently did a swap in my 91 CRX Si. And I just wanted to know if the specs are the same as the US version? How many HP, torque? Oh its from a Japan 1997 Acura INtegra LS OBD2 but converted to OBD0

Is Japanese motor even CARB legal?

Re:Anyone heard of a JDM Integra LS motor?
 

no they are not. only USDM engines are carb legal.

Re:Anyone heard of a JDM Integra LS motor?
 

for an OBD2 engine to be legal you would need to make your car OBD2...that means every emissions POS that was on a 97 Teg would need to be on your CRX...and no JDM engines arent legal...just get a USDM motor...but it needs to be a 91 for it to be legal in your car...

been there, done that... 88 4dr with 94 VTEC motor (turboed)...emissions ----? HA not even enough ---- there to pass an OBD0 inspection...oh yeah its rockin the "Cherry Bomb" too haha...

then how come a B16a can be CARB legal and not the JDM LS motor? WTF?

Re:Anyone heard of a JDM Integra LS motor?
 

well if you pay the right people.... ::)

if its JDM it wont pass (legally)... if its a USDM it needs to be from the same year as your chassis (91 in this case) and carry all the emissions equipment and electroincs that were on it (so your car would have to pass the test as if it were a 97 Integra, if thats where the motor came from)... every other modification needs an CARB exempt sticker (like a AEM intake, DC Sports header, etc)

well my friend got a B16a and he pass legally when he brought it to the referee. I was just wondering why he pass legally?
