Re: swapping engine for smog (gsr9ek6)
well if you have a full y7 engine swap available, technically the same rule applies, all the emissions equipment must be installed and working, engine must be same year or newer. I think you should get the matching non-vtec ecu for that engine too. So yes if you swap everything out like a normal engine swap, you can pass. But try to get the Y8 fixed after that if you plan on keeping it stock.
