i have a 96 ek with a d15b8 in there does anyone kno a place that will pass smog for me for cheap?

 

are you sure you have a d15b8?

 

ye i just bot the car and the previous owner put that **** in...probably cuz it was really cheap

 

The previous owner should have smogged the car before he sold it to you, unless you agreed on those terms (that you would smog it)

 

hey what can you say i got the ek for 1g

 

You should pass no matter what, the D15B8 is the 8-valve (75hp, lol) economy motor, it tends to have a pretty lean burn, judging by the insides of the few ive seen opened, so you shouldnt have a problem at all.

 

it has an aftermarket intake will it matter?

 

It shouldnt, but since this IS cali your talking about, i would maybe look to finding a stock intake box & tubes, cause as far as i know, they do pop your hood and take a look at the motor's components, at least thats what ive read in CA inspection horror stories.

As long as you have a CARB sticker on that bad boy it wont matter. If you dont and the station follows the rules they will fail you right away for visual inspection. I wouldnt take the chance and find a stock intake (arm/box) in the marketplace and slap it on.

 

i have an intake from a d16y8 it should fit?

 

And if im not mistaken the D15B8 is OBD1 right? 92-95 CX?

 

yes

 

and your 96 EK is OBD2... which means, when it comes time to smog you are going to be in for a world of hurt due to Cali Emission Laws.

 

HAHA YES sir but ppl are telling me the d15b8 shouldnt be a problem because its emission isnt high

Its not the emissions they are worried about. I had a D16y8(ODBII motor) in my 95EX (OBDI) and I failed visual but passed emission. Any smog tech that has half a brain is not going to touch that car. They might be nice enough to let you keep your $50 dollars instead of just taking it and failing you.

 

this sound like a sting to get crooked smog test places to close.
