Ok this may be a retarded question but i was just sitting here and for some reason i began thinking about smoging my civic ...Anyways my car is a 95 Civic Cx and a long while ago i came into a free z6 head and basically everything to do a head swap. So i did it and i figured it wouldn't really matter because a cop wouldn't hassle a sohc to bad. Thing i didnt consider was Smog Checks.
I know that head swaps are illegal in California but really would it make a difference?

Original Motor was D15b8 and the block still says it and i dont think the head says anything otherwise...

I was thinking if it is illegal ill just go to some mexican (on offense) smog shop and pass visual from them...as long as thats cool i should be ok with the actual smog thing since i still have the old OEM cat as well as a High Flow Cat...

Anybody wanna Help me out here with some info?

 

One of my friends is a smog tech and I asked him the same question (I have the same motor and same head swap planned). He said he's smogged other similar swaps with no issues but technically it is illegal.

 

perfect thanks
