So would the referree in california be a bitch if a person had a ls/vtec setup trying to smog. Since its a b16 head on top of a b18a1 block, you would need the ecu for the b16 for vtec right? just felt like asking because taking my car to the ref when i've got an ls motor was hard enough, shit they figured out my name by the third time i came trying to smog my car. CAn anyone please explaine about the ls/vtec and smog. will it go through. Will you fail on visual inspectio???

thistownsucks...

from what I have experienced w/ the referee..your fucked. The first thing they tell you is that your swapped motor needs to be a factory option in the US and the same or newer year than the chassis being swapped. since a the ls/v is not a factory motor, you might be up shit creek. The only chance you have is to try and pass it as a LS, running on a chipped LS ECU ( without vtec) to pass, then swap to the right ECU once you have obtaineda BAR sticker. Good Luck...

ook how about this scenario. right now i have a b18a1 (Ls motor) in my 90 rex si. after the engine swap and stuff i took it to the ref a long time ago, got all my shit sorted out and passed with that damn sticker they put in your door jam. So after that, they said im allowed to just take the car to any smog place to smog because the 1.8 liter was registered in calif. so i guess i can just take the car to a regular smog place now. metaphorically, if i did the an ls/vtec setup with a b16 head, which is what i wanted to do. wouldn't a regular smog place be more lenient, or are they perfectionist like referree's? i dont blame them, its their job to make my life a living hell

Hehe. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] Here in northern Illinois, all you have to do is drive into the booth, they hook up sensors to your gas cap and put one near your exhaust, drive it on this dyno for a few minutes, and thats it. They don't lift up the hood.

[/b][/quote] You can't Ref a head swap and it depends on the Smog place. Some places will catch everything, like a VTEC head on an LS block and some won't care as long as it looks good and passes the sniffer. But if you go and fail because of the head swap, you'll have to go get the car Ref'd again. [/b][/quote] Grind the VTEC off the valve cover, repaint, and hope they don't know the difference. And never get stopped by a CHP again. __________________
