I have a 93 hatch with a JDM gsr swap and ive had it for almost a year now. Its still not registered and i figure its about time.. ha. I was told in order to pass ill need to buy a USDM ECU, USDM header.. and what are the other things i need? I also have a hi-flow cat and the stock civic muffler. My CAI is CARB legal i should be cool with that right? Any and all help is MUCH apprieciated. Thanks.

Have you tried google? I don't know the answer.

make sure that the wire harness isnt cut, you must pass the visual test, and must pass smog.

emissions, emissions, emissions,
compare what you have to the USDM version
you need legal exhaust, ecm, and the evap system (due to pollution, obviously)
your '93 is OBD1 so keep it all USDM OBD1 and you'll GTG
and
no on the gas tank, because it's still USDM stock right?

you really need to pass the smog and visual and you should be good to go.
the more OEM the better

right


just don't go up there w/ the hi-flow!


got pics?

blueg6

yeah the gas tank is stock USDM. ill get a new cat.. i also heard something about replacing the vtec solenoid? true or false? this is such a freakin headache. thanks for all the help but i still need more!~ for pics go to the link in my sig.

these guys are the most pickiest ppl ever...the ref. i went to was tripping about my evap purge sol being a civic one instead of a gsr...they will print out pictures of wutever they are looking for and compare it to the one u have..if it doesnt look the same then they will start giving u **** about it not being from that engine or just fail u.

ur vtec sol should have a green plug on it which is the pressure switch..most likely if u run a USDM ecu and u still have the gsr vtec sol. then it will throw a code for the pressure switch.

just make sure u have no check engine lights, stock everything and carb #s for wutever aftermarket u have cuz they WILL check the #s to make sure..set ur timing to 16 degress +/- 2degrees...all ur vacuum hoses are correct., vss works cuz the ref i went to told me he was gonna drive my car around to make sure the spedo was working but i failed so he didnt...

blueg6

thank you. i will be sending you a pm if i need more assistance if you dont mind. thnx. anything else i should be aware about? thanks.

blueg6

and when i get the USDM ECU and still have the gsr vtec sol how do i get rid of the CEL? USDM vtec sol? 8<

If its an OBD1 GS-R swap it will have the pressure switch. In this case you have nothing to worry about, JDM OBD2 B-series engines do not have a pressure switch, so when using a USDM ECU that looks for a pressure switch it will throw a CEL. If this is the case you can do one of the following:
-get a USDM vtec solenoid
-tap the vtec pressure switch signal wire into the vtec solenoid signal wire to fool the ECU.

blueg6

yes?

blueg6

oh, and what about my throttle body? will it be fine? i also have itr cams with adjustable cam gears, but i havent advanced the timing on them. will that do anything on the emissions part of the test? again thank you for all the help.

94EG8

Its OBD1, the green plug right in the middle of the picture is the pressure switch.
