from another forum:

As long as the motor is in good condition it should pass smog through the tail pipe no problem. However there is a catch, it might not pass the visual inspection, a current problem with my miata. If you follow two simple rules you should be fine visually. Rule on is that the motor is not older than your car itself. i don't know what year prelude your donor motor comes from but as long as it is newer than a 93 you'll be fine. Second rule is that you should have all of the stock equipment on the donor car when it gets smogged. I have stuffed many different engines into many different cars, so i know that it isn't always easy to do, mainly because of space restrictions. For the most part you should be okay, i have been told (Seeing that i never keep any single car long enough to need smog) that most places bypass the visual anyway, but like i said i have only been told this.

just a guess but you would be alright with either staying OBD0 or going OBD1 or OBD2 as long as you had all the smog equipment for the car the engine came out of

 

the ony b16 that is obd0 is jdm. which i cant smog

 

i meant ECU

 

i'll keep the ecu same as the motor. obd2
