Lsvtec Into My Ej1 Chassis And Emissions

[Doughboy]

Hey guys.. As the title says, I have a B18B USDM block with a 97 GSR head (still @ RS machine) Im looking towards getting my motor BAR'd if possible being CA emmissions laws are strict as hell. To a state ref im assuming I will be turned down being the block and head do not match.. How right am I ?? ( heres my reason for actually going LSvtec) bought f***ed up motor..


here that is...





Also heres a list of the mods which will better help you determine passing on my setup. I'm even sacrificing my beautiful ITR valve cover to keep it more inconspicuous..

Even if I can keep everything pretty well hidden to knock out state ref violations if I get pulled over for the hell of it, it would really help.

Can't do it. Run through the ref with a non-VTEC head, then swap later.

The ref knows their shit. They'll spot the LSV from a mile away, and won't touch it with a 10 foot pole. I don't know if it would pass the sniffer test with that high of compression and cams anyways. Also, you're gonna have to take out the VAFC. And you won't be able to run a chipped OBD1 ECU and OBD2-OBD1 harness.

I'll just buy a whole other LS Longblock to BAR fuck it... lol

That's actually a good idea- that way you're not rebuilding an engine every time you go to the ref. Just make sure you have the paperwork for the smog engine.

[dubcac]

I told you when you started building it that it wouldn't pass...you said you didn't need to worry about it.

yeah because then I had the money to own a drag car AND a commuter.. I'll give it a few months and buy a beater. However this one is staying on the road as long as i possibly can.
