90 crx dx - y8 swap and still pass cali smog?
Yes it can be done. Wiring will need to be addressed. Depending on where in Cali you are, you may need to take your car to the state referee to smog it legally since your car is supposed to have a 1.5L dual point motor and not a 1.6L muti point fuel injected vtec motor.
But it's do able

Gas tanks would need to be swapped or somehow modified to include the pressure sensor from OBD2.
The OBD2 ECU and data link connector would need to be in place too.
so instead i picked up a z6 head last night and ordered bisimoto adjustable cam and 75mm y8 head gasket and b7 oil pump and b7 waterpump now i need z6 dist and z6 timing belt and tensioner but im stumped on my bearings on crank im getting the letter h on two sets of bearings and on my honda print out there isnt no h set and its realy hard for me to go by color coded cause they all mostly brown any help is lovely

Z6 is obd1, you need an obd0 to obd1 conversion harness, stock p28, stock motor, all emissions stuff hooked up then you have to get it barred in order to smog it at a normal smog shop and make it legal. i speak from experience. good luck, this swap should be pretty easy to make legit.
thanks i got the bearings installed just waiting on a im/ex man gasket and distributor and im ready to fire i adjusted valve lash today and rotated the engine and recheck and adjusted and kept doing it till i felt confident and i would try the next size up like from.008" and i would try to use .009" and it wouldnt go in so i hope all is fine

Where are they? I honestly see this giant run on sentence with a few commas. It's really hard to figure out what you are trying to ask.
Something about turbo for 400hp
a story about your life
a bunch of weird engine, suspension, and ecu stuff that is all crammed together
and a shout out to some people.
