Obd1 engine in obd2 car
I recently bought a b16 swapped 2000 civic ex. How would I get this to pass inspection. I bought a p2t ecu but it throws Cel’s. What would I need to convert/bypass to get the cel’s to go away at least for inspection? (Sorry if this has been asked, I couldn’t find any answers)

Make sure that your VTEC solenoid is plugged in. If you have a JDM B16A, your VTEC assembly may not have a pressure switch, which is required for proper operation with the P2T ECU. You will either have to drill and tap the port on the JDM VTEC assembly and purchase a pressure switch from your local Honda dealership (one from a '92-00 Civic EX or Si will work just fine), install it and plug your engine harness into it. Clear the code and you should be fine.
