I have a 92 civic witha JDM B16A I/E/H and a stock cat. I also have a VAFC that I can use to tune it down. Currently the car in colorado will it pass emissions in cali?

 

probably not. i would know from living here. take it to the state ref n get it bar'd. if u get that sticker then ur good 2 go n can pass smog

 

make sure the intake and header has a legal carb #, also what kind of exhaust do u have?

If the motor is the same year as your chasis, or newer, all of your correct US smog equipment is connected and functional, no check engine lights, your header and intake have CARB stickers, your VAFC is not showing, and you pass by the number, then yes. Just do a search for BAR, smog, or emissions, there's been numerous threads on this.

Well, if he can't pass SMOG, then taking it to the ref' just to get it BAR'd won't allow him to pass either. They SMOG it too.

You might be able to get away with it. I had a 1994 Del Sol JDM B16A in my 1994 Civic Si. After replacing the cat' and warming it up on my way to the test-only center, I passed SMOG with 00. knock levels.

Ahhh. I see, I see.

But like in my second mention, he can get lucky like I did. Mine was never BAR'd nor were any parts of the motor/drivetrain (especially the IM) replaced with USDM parts.

 

**** u got real lucky. saved a couple hundred $ too

 

How do you get bar'd? In colorado they don't care about swaps as long as it passes all the #. Also how do you get the stickers for the intake and header? Pretty much everything else is conected and running fine. No codes no check engine light.

 

The exhaust is the 5 zigen pro racer a spec, also have a spoon exhaust.

u gotta take ur car to the state ref and tell them. i dont know how to get a sticker for the intake n header, i always buy them with it, so i dont have to worry bout it. u might have to buy new ones. what kind do u have?

 

The headers is a dc 4-1 and intake is the J's racing copy. In colorado we don't need the stickers at all.
