hey guys, i was wondering who has taken their swaped EF's to the smog ref to get legalized... what did you have to bring and what do they look for? how much did it cost? what is the whole process like?
thanks

 

You have to have it resemble the del sol to a "t". Del sol IM/ comp/ obd1, and all obd1 parts. Ryan

ive seen a couple posts about this, if u search u can prolly find a buncha answers

 

i know.. i did a search allreaddy..

 

why doesnt anybody do a propane conversion? my friend phil in texas has 3 kits that he loans out for people to pass smog. they consists of a propane bottle, a mount, lines, a regulator, a throttle bracket with a lot of adjustments and a proprtioning valve with different orfices. you hook it up to your car and roll through the smog station. you pass every time. he was able to get a 93 stang with a 460 big block to pass. it was nuts.

 

If i may assume, the 460 big block is not stock in a 93' stang. If you were to replace the enginein a car with a completely different engine, you would have to bring it to a smog referee. The referee has a book of allowed engines, And the jdm B16A is not on that list strictly because it is jdm. But basicly, it may pass the tail pipe check... but not the visual....

but why trust me? i don't know...

 

no, a 460 is NOT stock. it was qualified as an "alternative fuel" vehicle by his buddies at the smog station.

According to the smog ref I talked to it should pass even thought it's jdm. As long as it has all the smog stuff needed for the usdm del sol it should pass.

well droppedcrxsi answered your question allready on what parts you would need. the reason you need to go off a Del sol Vtec is because that motor is the most equivalent to a JDM b16a if you really did a search you would of found all these answers yourself.

I know what you Mean, It will pass smog/tailpipe test... I was told by somebody, my neighbore they have an "engine replacement list" And the JDM B16A is not on that list... But please someone let me know, I want to have my b16a CRX Legit...

If it helps i'm from the east bay

 

dude, i just fu*king told you.

PS You have to do a tail pipe at the ref too. Ryan

 

have you ever got your JDM b16a smogged by a ref?

 

No, and unless I convert it all to obd1, usdm spec del sol vtec, I cant. Im just going b18c, and I will be refing that. Ryan
