cali smog
 

whats up guys, im currently in a new project (R.I.P CRX) i found myself an awesome hatch for 500 bucks...now anyways, i want to drop a b16a in there...but everywhere i go, people say it isnt smogable, but some do. dont i jsut have to make the car stock with all the emissions devices and take it to the ref?

Go to the ghetto of your area and look for smog shops and bring your wallet. 6 years of swaps in my cars in so cal and never smogged a car legal. Paid 350 on my last smog for my rex.

yeah it hella sucks, i dont have a car. but w/e tho im starting a nice little project. i think im gonna go with a b16a1 that way theirs no confusion and i can keep it safe in cali. the smog laws suck here....

Re:cali smog
 

if u swapping engines and want to keep it legit, u need to make sure that the engine is newer than ur car, have the stock ecu, all of the stock engine parts (i.e. intake, headers, catalytic converter, etc)... You also need to get it reffed. Once its ref, you are legal and can smog whereever the ---- you want in cali.

thats for sure...i dont wanan be drving around with an unregistered/non smogged vehichle.........so new question, it would be cool to go b16a aslong as its a 91 motor cause my car is a 90, and aslong as the vacum lines and all that good stuff matched up with the ones in the us helms manual for a del sol or civic....then i should be cool?
