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...

Cali sucks ass! here in indy you can throw any motor you want into any car, put a glasspack on it, and your straight! ;D

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...

Re:Anyone heard of a JDM Integra LS motor?
 

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)

Re:Anyone heard of a JDM Integra LS motor?
 

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?

Where can I get my HMT CARB sticker? I've got inspection day coming up soon on my LS turbo ;) this should be funny to see.

Re:Anyone heard of a JDM Integra LS motor?
 

damn i am glad i am in florida, no carb bs here, just good ole straight pipe no cat....

Re:Anyone heard of a JDM Integra LS motor?
 

yeah my buddy has a b16a also...he took it to the ref and passed...and believe it or not, this is in cali :D

Re:Anyone heard of a JDM Integra LS motor?
 

Passing Emissions and CARB legalities are different. To be CARB legal, yes the engine and such much be of the same model year. The point is will the guy testing it pick up on the fact that it is a jap engine and not a cali carb legal engine. Probably not, if you sell the car and a proper inspection is done then you might get burned.

Ontario emissions and laws are similar to that of california, so similar rules are in place. I passed emissions with a turbo car, just get you vehicle properly tuned for EMISSIONS not power. You will never have a problem with the state or those ------- MTO guys!!!!
