From what I have heard, the rules have changed somewhat here in California regarding JDM motors. JDM motors don't seem to be the automatic fail that they once were. But in order to be legal, they MUST be used with ALL California emissions smog equipment. In other words, your car MUST be made completely OBDII compliant, using the proper California P73 ECU.

my car is 97 and is obd2 and the jdm itr swap also obd2 as well. i already tried the usdm itr ecu and it gave me 2 codes, 54 and 22. are there any other sensor or vacuum that i need to hook them up in order to pass smog? help me out

code 22 is the vtec pressure switch. you'll need to install this sensor to run usdm ecu's. its located next to the solenoid.
code 54 is the crankshaft fluctuation sensor. i dont think jdm itr engines have one. correct me if im wrong.

Correct me if I'm wrong here but I never heard of a california p73. all I ever seem is a usdm ecu or jdm ecu. I never thought california was that special that honda made a ecu just for them and I live in ca.

That is what I meant. And yes, the crankshaft speed fluctuation sensor and VTEC pressure switch are going to be problems. Because the JDM B18C5 has neither. To add these parts, you will probably have to buy the USDM parts. Keep in mind that a stock B18C5 has no provisions for the VTEC pressure switch. So you will have to buy both the switch AND the actual mounting plate for the VTEC solenoid.
I have not looked into the crankshaft speed fluctuation sensor. But at the very least, you will need to buy the sensor itself and the crankshaft sprocket. You will also need a lower timing belt cover that will allow the wire to come out. And at worst, you may have to buy the oil pump cover, as the JDM piece might not have mouting points for this sensor.

thanks alot for the thread. i went all of those replies and still got some question.
After i take care of all the sensors and vacumn lines and all of that smog equipment, do i have to replace the jdm itr intake manifold to usdm itr? it's gonna be a lot of work. i thought that the jdm itr im as same as skunk2 im. so if the skunk2 is CARB legal, then why not the jdm one as long as everything is hook up.

its really a hit and miss when it comes to that. to be honest you'd be better off with a usdm(carb inspectors know what to look at) or use a skunk2 manifold. no one ever said this was a cake walk...it takes time and patience and a few
good luck with the hybrid.
