check with your local dmv.

just remember that your swap has to be newer than your chassis.

ex. engine: 1997 type r
chassis: 1995 integra ls.

thats legal.


not legal.

engine: 1994 gsr
chassis: 1995 integra ls

Everything is legal until you get caught. But this is perfectly legal, its just like rebuilding an engine with new performance pistons. You just have to pass your states emissions.

I'm pretty sure you just have to pass the emissions for the model year of your car.

If you were doing a direct swap, a stock B18C1 for a B18C1, as long as you keep the same OBD, then how would dropping a 1994 B18C1 into a 1995 GSR be illegal? I would assume nobody would ever know.
