mods i just thought i would post here for the 411 factor.
went to the ref with my 88 crx that has a jdm b16 swap, well i swapped everything obd1, and had carb legal everything.
The refs are super cool they are very informative. but i fail for lil reasons.
the reasons i failed was the following. I chopped a leg off a LS dizzy because i did not want to pay for a new one and they noticed that was one thing.
I did not have an evap purge valve, and i was worried that they would make me get a new manifold, but they said just get an evap purge valve and splice it into the big tube that plugs into the middle of the intake mani go look at your intake and you will see the tube i am talking about.
My injen intake was the right part number but it had the wrong carb # so i need to call injen so they can send me a new one, injen likes to do that because the same thing happened to my friend.
And i had an exhaust leak from where my cat and header meet up so they couldn't test me. All in all it was very informative. They told us that either it be a H22 a B18 or a B16 all you have to do is put all the US parts........intake manifold, header, and make sure its the right OBD for that year motor.
I even asked about a B20 and he said NOPE thats a SUV motor not a passanger car motor. So basically if you get a USDM motor and put it into whatever car you have given that the motor is not older than your car you are putting it in you will pass visual.
Oh and they just looked at the ecu and was like ok p30 they didn't really care if it was jdm or usdm and ofcourse i didn't tell them.
So when i get back from vacation i will be going back to the ref with those parts fixed and see how things go.
He told me to go to a smog station and have them run me there just so i dont waste a trip to the ref.
So i will let you guys know when i am going to go back sometime middle of january probably.
