Re: Gsr into ek swap
First of all, let me start out by saying that dealing with the referee is a pain in the ***. But to answer your question..I need a little more info. Year of motor and year of car?

Re: Gsr into ek swap
You will have to have the cat from the GSR and all smog equipment hooked up. Charcoal canister, evap, etc should all be hooked up and working. If you have all of your smog equipment on your car currently and plan on doing a full GSR swap, then this should all be hooked up anyways. The ecu should be the GSR ecu. This should plug right in and work...I believe it wasn't until 99 that the ecu's came with immobilizers (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Make sure you have papers to show for the legality of your header and/or intake if it is not stock. With my referee experience, the sticker on the intake and the stamp on the header were not enough for him...he wanted proof. Also make sure all the regular smog stuff is working...make sure your bulb is not burnt out for the CEL, make sure your gas tank cap isn't bad (these are a few things they usually screw you for).
In the end, you will most likely not pass the first time. Those guys are super nit-picky and will fail you for anything. Just take care of all of the above, and fix what they will most likely say you need to fix in order to pass the second time around.

You shouldn't have a problem as long as all of your smog equipment is in good repair. Is the engine USDM or JDM? I don't think that the JDM gsrs have the evap purge valve on top of the intake manifold. If not, I think you'll have to get a US intake manifold, as that's smog equipment that you're not supposed to remove.
Other than that, everything else should work.
