Dont know too much about turbos but I do love them. I was wondering if I put turbo on my car, can I still pass smog?

I have a 1996 HB with a 1996 GSR motor so I was thinking just get a 99-00 SI turbo since the 99-00 SI CAI fit perfectly. Would it fit? Does Greddy make one for the 99-00 SI??

The carb sticker does not garantee you will pass smog, only that if you get pulled over the cops wont mess with you.

Ya, as long as the motor is from the same year as the car or newer. I could not smog a car if I had bought a 1994 motor.

i think you better read the cali smog thread... having the same year car and motor is ONE of the MANY things on the list of having a legally swapped motor.
can you legally smog a car with a swapped motor??

yup, im going in a week to get my jdm h22 legal so i dont have to roll down the street scared half to death that im gonna get popped... B)
Also why does the motor have to be atleast the same year as the car? lets say the h22 was made from 1990 -1996, exactly same motor all 6 years and your car is a 93. whats the differance of having a 1990 h22 in your car or a 95 motor?

i was told that i had to call greddy and then and ONLY then will they send out the sticker....
im sure if you can find someone on this or another forum with the sticker, you can ask them to scan you a copy of it, and it shouldnt be that hard to reproduce. i talked to a guy who did his with no problems and the dumb ass cop bought it

and even if you have a greddy turbo kit you still get a ticket and sent to the smog ref if you can't present a carb sticker. happened to a friend of mine and he was pissed. I've thought about making my own carb legal sticker for my non greddy turbo kit but I read an article not too long ago that cops are already on it.

That is harrasment, and is an infringement on our rights.
