Hi I have a 92' Civic SI with a B16a2 swapped. I bought the car with the swapped, and it has a p28 Chipped ECU that is mapped for b16. I was wondering if it would pass smog with the chipped ECU since I heard the chip makes the ecu run a little rich. This would be for CA smog btw. The car came with a BAR'ed sticker but I don't know if the past owner smogged it with the same ECU. The car is boned stock except for a ITR exhaust and Cat. Converter. It also have a Carbed legal Injen Intake. Thanks in advance.

The fumes does smell a little strong when it is idling. Maybe the smell is caused by the ECU?

 

a chip for the ECU is for tuning and remapping purposes(correct me if i am wrong)
take your car to get it tuned if it is running rich.
It will pass smog if everything was done right during the swap

 

So do I need to get a VAFC or any other equipments to get it tuned? I really don't want to spend any more extra money on my DD but if I need to, to make it pass smog then I have no other choice. I hope I am not required to get a Hondata or something like it just to get it to run a little leaner =[. Thanks btw.

 

no. just take it to a place where they tune cars. they will just remap your fuel system to run not to lean and not to rich.

 

Thank you. Now I just need to find a reliable place that does fuel remapping. Any recommendations for shops in the Bay Area?

 

lol. im in so cal. but if you come down here, BISIMOTO does an AWSOME job.
and the place just needs to tune it. all places that tune cars also remap fuel.

 

Hmm guess I have to search the forums but the search feature is down =[.

 

yea. its been down for a while now.
use google.
Honda-tech threads show up on google and yahoo. so youll be good
