heard that u cant register a b20z swap, is this true? friend plans to drop one in his 00 hatch. search came up empty, thx

 

where do you live it makes a diff. In cal you technically can.

 

How?? I thought no more JDM motors can be registered in CA?? I may be wrong.. anyone??

 

This isn't like the 89 Prelude motor is it?

B/c I heard those where some of the shittiest blocks Honda ever made. Cylinderwalls crack like a no other.

Being so, almost no state will allow you to swap a engine older than the car into your vehical.

 

in cali. of course im talking about the b20z2 from the CRV. so... it is legal?

yes it is.

 

hmm i was wondering this myself...i would think you can because it's a b series, but CARB says you can't because it's a different classification, light truck, not passenger vehicle.

Someone posted just a couple days ago that it is NOT legal. Because the motor comes from a different classification of vehicle, light truck vs car.

 

No it is not.
