I just picked up a 1992 EG cx..... I need to replace the motor....I was thinking of getting the d15b sohc vtec.I had some Q's. has any1 smoged the motor? did you have any problems?do I have to go to the ref? is it even worth it? should I get the complete swap with tranny or is the cx tranny make a big enough difference?I just bought this for a spare car,i got a b16 ef and a lifted 2004 4runner.

 

you should be fine with smog i think i dont live in CA but i would assume so, definitely get a shorter geared tranny such as a z6 or y8 it will make a huge difference

 

Definetly get an si tranny with the d15b youll love it........i love mine

 

isnt the d15b a JDM motor? so wouldnt it have ploblems getting BAR'd? I dont know the rules, but from i have read....

 

yeah the d15b vtec is a jdm motor. thats why i was wondering if any1 has smogged it here in cali. or have the number to a ref to contact them.

From what I have read on here, some folks get that engine smogged with zero problems, other couldn't get them smogged if their lives depended on it. It seems to be hit or miss in Cali.

 

so should i just drop it in and try it out.Or how do I get a hold of a state certified guy to ask him.I wonder if it smogs as a d16z6 or a vtec-e engine

 

bump for i would like to know also, getting mine put in on thursday

 

NEED HELP, my eg is pissing on the driveway
