Hey everyone I am sure this has been asked a bunch before but I am at work and dont really have time to search through all the posts. Has anyone had problems getting a DOHC ZC to pass smog in Orange County. Or is it pretty much the same as a stock motor to them. B16's dont pass correct?
Thanks

 

why wouldnt a b16 pass? its not a special motor neither is the zc motor,,no 4 cyl engine should have problem as long as the engine is in good shape has all the emisins **** and correct ecu,,no illegal aftermarket parts,etc...,,,

the thing you have to worry about is when they see ZC they call the thing illegal since there's no usdm version

the guy that they are talking about is

hazw8st

just search int the members list for him

 

u can not get it smogged or ref since the motor is from japan. u need a motor from the states to ref it and then it will be legal. only way is fake smog. altho i did smog my crx w/ sohc zc. the guy smoging my car didnt even know the differences, bearly passed cuz i have a super old cat.
