well i will be getting a swap sometime in the future and was looking into a JDm engine.
b16 or 18. well i live in Chicao, Illinois if that matters, and i dont want any problems when i go for emission testing. will i have problems though? is ther a way to get around this. Or is my only option to get a USDm engine. if so any sites that sell usdm , because all i see is JDM

if you put all the emissoins stuff on the jdm engine then you should be able to pass..there is a few thread bout smog legal jdm engines, just search for it

When i lived in Cali, i had a 92 jdm b16 in my 99 civic ex and passed the smog dyno, but didn't pass the visual. $100 took care of the visual. I used the SI ecu and converted the engine to OBD2.

http://www.hmotorsonline.com sells usdm and jdm motors, choose your weapon.

emission standards in japan are actually much strickter than in the states (even california!) so technically it should be ok, but i guess you would need all the perifs as well (cat, air filter, etc)

Its the other way around. A stock JDM engine will never pass smog in California. JDM engine's dont come with most of the smog equipment required in California and many other US states.

thats what i was thinking.

depends on which US state and the laws that they regulate.
