First off, I dont think any other forum would be able to help me more than this ITR forum. So that is why I choose to post here, than any other place.

Secondly, I dont own an ITR but I do own a 00' JDM B20b (From racing tips to JDM questions ask Type-R owners here). Here are some stats on my car:

1) JDM DC 4-1 (I know this one is illegal)
2) Carsound Cat, Stock exhaust
3) No smog canister (evaporator canister?)

This is a HUGE dilemna for me right now so I need constructive critisizm on this subject. So, what are the chances of me passing registration?

Thank you for understanding,

I may be wrong but with your mods I don't think you'll pass the smog inspection itself. The visual inspection you should be good!

well some places in cali will smog the car and pass it but your going to pay like 200 for the smog.

 

With an engine swap, to legally get a smog, you have to go to the state referee. And then with a JDM motor, it may be even more dificult. Your best bet is for an illegal smog. As said above it'll cost you 'round 200. Getting a legal JDM motor in a USDM car is a huge pain, cause of all the aditional smog requirements that Cali puts on motors. Plus the motor must be newer than the car. Basically it's just not a lot of fun.
