Tricks to Pass Smog in Cali

[turbo99]

Ok, I have a 99 civic dx with 99 b18b Greddy turbo with intercooler. Everything is legal except the ECU. I'm currently running an OBD1 computer. I know for sure that I won't pass with this ECU. I do have a 99 SI ECU.

I was thinking that I could swap the ECUs and hide the "Check Engine Light" somehow. Do you think I can pass if I do it this way? That's what I am planning to do. Also, I'd let the car run for a long time to get the catalytic converter nice and hot and make sure it's working to its max. Anymore ideas? I live in Northern Cali. Anyone know any shops that can maybe hook it up?

Please help. Thanks.

You're all the way down in soCal bro. That's about a 7 hour drive from where I am. I don't have any time. Hmmmm, if you were in NorCal, I would definitely take you up on that offer.

Yeah I am in Northern California myself. Where are you at, I am in San Francisco, so if you hear of anything in that area, let me know, as I am going to have to go through this. Oh and PM me or AIM me about this, as it should not be posted in any forums.
