B20, B20VTEC, and LSVTEC cannot pass smog by someone who actually follows the rules. If you go to someone who doesnt care youll have no problem.

nope super strict here. we actually cant really put any swaps in, and if we do they have to pass smog...which is a pain in the ***.

i havent had to smog my eg with an ls/v in it...but im doin it illegally when i do

You can't legally smog a LS/VTEC or a B20 in CA as previously stated. You can't ref them either. No matter what.

A lot of times you can find a smog tech that wont know the difference.

You will have to have a smog compliant motor.

Doesn't matter if you are required to go to a test only or a smog check station.

Smog laws are the same regardless of the test required.
