I've searched several times on this board for a decent write up on K20's into a dc2. I cant seem to find one. But Im sure that there has to be some one here who has a k powered dc2. For those who do, where you guys able to get it to pass BAR inspection? I need your help and as much info as you can provide me with! thank you in advanced! oh and i keep hearing about a sensor from the rsx fuel tank that is need in order to pass, what is that all about? any one know from experience?

in my opinion living here in cali your asking to get your car impounded for having that swap trust me no matter how low pro you are all it takes is one stop and hood pop second its not possible to swap a jdm motor or k20 ect and get bar reffed and legal so if its a race car thats another story gl.

 

i heard that it's not possible at all to bar, because k20 are just too new.

you want to drive it and not get in trouble with the law.. move to some other state with no gay smog rulez ans **** like here in cali.

 

That suck, so glad I dont live in Cali

 

you can Bar a k20 IF you swap the fuel tank from the rsx over to ur dc2 so you can run a returnless style fuel system..
k20a.org is ur new friend

Looks like im going K now lol.

 

so everyone that has a k20 has a rsx fuel tank? < is this whats required in order to make the swap pass BAR? (other than the obvious). Im going to try and go speak with the Ref to see what they say, im going to get as much info out of him. Ill let you guys know. . On my last visit, he had mentioned a eg hatch went in for inspection trying to get a k20 to pass, all he said was that the owner of the car had deleted the stock fuel tank and replaced it with a custom fuel cell with a "pressure sensor" from a rsx. Im going to go speak with him to see what he says. like i said, i post here as soon as i could with some answers.

 

any input would be much appreciated.

 

u cannot have a fuel cell..HAS to be the stock rsx fuel tank so u can run a returnless style fuel system..u also need a cat, and ALL emissions equipment that the rsx has..everything has to be OEM or CARB# for all aftermarket parts otherwise u fail

this might help u

does anyone know if a stock rsx tank fits a dc2 (in the stock dc2 fuel tank location)?

 

Very unlikely - I would dare to say that most (if not all) guys in cali who have K20 engines just get it illegally smogged.

Then again, they arent daily drivers anyways....

 

MOST ppl in cali that has a K swap in their civic/integra are all running them ILLEGALLY and only a few actually have a Bar'd k swap..if u got a 01+ civic i believe that runs a returnless style fuel system then u CAN bar a K swap more easily than a civic/teg with a return style system...do i know how they smog the car every year or every 2 years? no i dont..last i heard ppl are chargin $300+ to pass a car illegally

can u put a rsx fuel tank in ur teg? yes u can but u will have to cut ur trunk floorboard and mount the tank in there or find a way to strap that tank in securely without cutting the trunk floor board
