The Official EF Discussion Thread
Last edited by JollyGreen; Jan 19, 2011 at 07:16 PM.
So I met with the California State Smog Ref today and we talked.
No go with the Greddy Turbo unless I swap the 92-95 D... motor, get it Bar'd and then put the turbo on and then take it back for Bar'd Turbo.
Soooo.......with that in mind I've decided to keep my EF for now and do a B16 or B18 Bar'd swap. The ref guy was super cool and even suggested the B18c USDM (isn't that hard to find). He said it usually takes two tries. My buddy has done 2 of them so I think I'm in good shape. Just need to save mula and then the work will start. Thanks for your comments and help.

HahaTook my father only 1 trip and he smogged with the JDM computer. That's the only time I've ever seen a ref look the other way...probably because my father is so old. Haha
Can you send any pointers or problems you think I should look out for when I do the swap. I have tons of info and have done about 3 hours of research but only have my buddy to talk about the swap with. Where are you located?
PM me.

I can complain at least a little about the cold since I'm from Northern California. But I really want to complain about the short days. Not enough time to do outside activities!
I would love to attend some meets this year. getting tired of the same ol' same ol' at the drag tracks. Just a big PITA getting through NYC. between potholes and toles to pay it's not a happy drive!
Im sick of this cold weather too.. but Nick good point, its the short days and lack of day light that are killer. Wheels look nice on the car.. looks like you took her for a beatin' too! We still want more pics tho!
