If I go Lsvtec, will I have problems getting the car smogged? And whicht is a better vtec head? SI head or GSR head? Thanks in advance.

 

head...SI...
smog...you should be fine!
what ecu will you run?

 

what year is the car?

 

I don't know what ecu to use or what I have, but I have a 95 LS. Thanks for the response.

 

No you won't be able to smog it because it will fail the visual

 

si head is better flowing, more comming among the two in lsvtec projects, go with that one

 

i would, if i were you... use the ECU from a 94-95 Del Sol its obd1

 

what is the visual and how will this convertion make it fail? thanks brian

 

in Cali, they do a visual inspection. they will see the dohc vtec on the valve cover when on the computer it says dohc non-vtec. so unless you go to a really unstricked or stupid smog tech. then you may pass. Another thing you can do is get a aftermarket valve cover that dose not say vtec. or shave the vtec of the oem valve cover.

 

So in other words...I shouldn't go lsvtec?

 

not if the only purpose is to pass a smog test

you should just hide it, you shoudl use your current valve cover on your new head if it fits... i dont know if it will or not, but that would be the best solution

 

Between the heads, it depends... if you plan on upgrading your cams, go with b16 head, it flows better, but if not, the GSR head has more aggressive cams..

essentially, stock, there gonna make about the same numbers

I'm pretty sure the LS valve cover will not fit a vtec head. Like the kid said before, just do LS/Vtec because yes, it's ridiculous, but get a clean vtec valve cover, and shave it down smooth so they cannot see VTEC on it. You should be able to pass it that way. and dont put the spark plug cover on, just incase That's just what I think. I dont live in Cali, they could care less here in wisconsin.
