Re: JDM engine (macattack)
I'm not sure "which" engines you can make smog legal, however, keep in mind that the engine is going to have to be from a newer model JDM, with preferably low-mileage, and contain the same, if not more Emission standards than your factory engine; in order to pass the BAR requirements. Also, I'd suggest you drive your car to Nevada or Arizona, and have it BAR legaled, and just pay $150 to get the car passed under the table. Which year Del Sol? If your's is the Si that comes with the B16, I'd recommend going ITR or CTR.

I had a friend that had the same problem. Just leave it completely stock. Regardless of what people say putting a V8 cat won't help. Make sure the idle is right, adjust the screw on the air billeting system. Stock fuel railing and fuel injectors and all.
