from what i heard at delta college there not gonna be doing ref's anymore due to smog laws which is pretty lame.

eskerley

so does that mean that it will be illegal to have a swap?

Ok i just got a JDM GSR swap and just got the bar. So as for your friend saying that to you is BS..The bar was only $8.50 for every thing.

I just bared my 91 ls with a B18C JDM motor and all thy look for was all smoging stuf to be in the right place and working. Than thy do the smog. If it pass thy put a white sticker on the car. I did this a month back. Now if you put a older motor in a new car its illegal. And if you put a B20 in a civic are N E car for that matter, its a truck motor and thy will not pass. But like my car, 91 integra ls with a new JDM B18C passed. LS VTEC B20 VTEC or a k20 will not pass at all EX for the k20 you need to swap out every thing. All k20 smog part, gas lines, gas pump and tank. Than you can pass.

lol i was told by the ref that jdm motors will not be accepted after this year

xxJohnJaixx

yeah but the rules changed in the beginning of this week. thats why once they look at my motor they said i cant get it bar'd and the guy bob was explaining to me what was going on. no more jdm motors period.

jdm.norcal

Thanks for all the info.

***** whack! I'm about to ref my jdm h22. I'm gonna call my nearest ref station to find out about this nonsense.

tum tum 209

anymore info??? this sucks

ChoNNe

BUMP!! I heard You can not place a h22 into a civic. The motor HAS to be available in that model somewhere in the world, the civic never came w/ a h22. You can however place it into an accord or Acura cl.
Does this mean you're stuck with a b16a2 as your only option for a swap if you have a civic???? That BLOWS!!!

civic_driver09a

haha good thing i got a light *** ef

Umm no cause I have a gsr in my civic and it was never offered in that chasis. U can put a h22 in a civic because that engine was offered in the U.S.
