found out i dont have to take my smog check until next june instead of this june. w00t, h22 swap, here i come!

but im wondering if i should get a jdm one and swap it out b4 my smog check or get a high mileage usdm and rebuild it? (put nitrious)

 

so what happens when next june rolls around?

 

thats what im asking buddy...

 

Doesn't really matter if you get either the JDM or USDM one. Unless you want to BAR it.

 

i think ill just spend the extra time and swap in the original motor b4 smog time comes so i wont have to bother with refs and stuff, now i need to find a place to store the original motor. one thing good about this though, is i can clean up the original motor when its out of the car and do a couple tranny flushes. good thing its in june and not during the skool yr. thanks for all the replies.

 

Umm...you can pass smog with a JDM engine too just as long as you get all the emissions equipment on it and it functions properly :slap:

People these days

 

i read that in cali, smog places are not able to even touch an engine thats JDM, it was a law passed back in 02' i think.
plus, i dont even want to bother dealing with refs or BAR or whatever. i just want to goto a gas stattion with my stock f22 with carb legal AEM intake, pass it, everyones happy, and i drive home...
