I'm looking into to do a k20 type s swap into my em1. If i do and leave the motor stock will it be able to pass the ref and become a legal swap?

 

i dont think it is yet because of the header and something with the fuel rail

 

why wouldn't it be? stock motor, offerd here in the states, newer then you car? i don't see why it wouldn't be.

 

i was thinking that too stock motor and its newer than my year.

 

cuz the oem header wont fit and i dont think they have a carb legal header yet......i heard dc was going to but i havent seen it yet

 

yeah i hear people using custom headers. maybe tahts it.

 

Plus like said before, the fuel system has to be modified to work in your car. The k20a's have a returnless fuel system or something to that effect.

agreed

 

I haven't done my research but I'm guessing that power steering and A/C don't work with this type of a swap? What 'bout cruise control? I know these are all 'useless luxury items' but just curious about it.

good question

 

Its legal in indiana. lol i forgot everythings legal in indiana..haha

 

yeah its legal. its a us motor. and newer than urs. so yeah. as long as the motors stock.

 

but it has to have a custom header to fit. so does that make it not legal.

 

u will need a custom carb header to make it legal

 

The required FPR alone would make it fail Cali's visual inspection right?

 

you can use a tsx header. The only thing that is hard about this swap is passing it with a stock ecu. The ecu has some sort immobilizer and you have to like bypass it or some ****. The swap will run you around 8g's for everything total installed. I dunno i would wait untill that market gets saturated and ppl get more experienced with this swap. It's still in its infency.

we are lucky there, older sis just moved to NJ and now has to go through testing so thats a bitch. now if we can get medicinal marijuana well be great

 

i bet with a modified header, and a cat, it will pass
just won't pass visibly,because you're in CALI

Well whenever you swap a immobilized Ecu into an un-immobilized car you swap the thingie that you stick your key into to start the car (sorry my vocab is really failing me today )

 

if your in CA, you nee the OEM fuel pressure regulator that is and in tank unit inside the fuel tank, so you someway need to mount a rsx fuel tank on your ride
