I recently bought my car and installed a fresh B18B from hmotorsonline.com with p28 ecu (not bolting on turbo until after I pass emissions) I need tips to make sure I pass, what kind of exhaust should I have welded on? (needs new piping from axelback and muffler) I can get a GSR/type-r muffler pretty easily or I can bolt on a aftermarket exhaust I have laying around. Should this pass emissions from what I'm told they don't even pop the hood...

 

you should use that LS ecu instead. the P28 will throw a engine code. I would make everything engine wise as close to oem as possible to pass then go and do all your other stuff

 

don't have the LS ecu, that's only problem I'll try to pick one up for this

 

if they don't look at ecu's try to borrow either the ls one or even a 92-95 dx one

i was about to say the same thing. if they don't even pop the hood then as long as you have a functioning cat and no cel's you'll pass. I passed out here in colorado with my b series swap, even though it was and obd1 swap in an obd2 car. I love not being in socal for that reason
