jdm engines not passing visual and smog.......wtf?
"Q: Are these engines smog legal?
A: All the engine conversion packages we sell are for Off Road Use Only. We do not imply or guarantee in any way that these engine conversions are legal for on road use.
JDM engines will not pass visual inspection in California, New York, and some other states. For this reason, and to comply with US DOT regulations, we sell for Off Road Use Only. "
this is from www.hybridautomotive.com , i thought all jdm engines if they run right, will pass smog, and i always thought visual wasnt a problem......... are they wrong or am i wrong .... o well im probly wrong

from what I know is that all the smog devices they use on the USDM motors have to be on the JDM motor i.e. Intake mani, CPU, Cat and what ever else besides the motor being the same year as your car or newer.
