New To The Honda Scene
I just purchased an 1993 EJ1 for 1500,
I took this beast to get smogged and it failed the visuel inspection, apparently some idiot replaced the stock d16z6 motor and swapped it with a d15z1 motor from a VX.
It failed visuel inspection based on the fact that their is no EGR valve.
The stock d16z6 intake manifold and engine do not require nor have an EGR system the VX is the only model that does.
I am interested in how I can get this car to pass smog, I am in california and apparently all of our state Ref and Bar people have been fired on the account of state budget cuts.
The engine bolts into everything fine however the stock intake manifold has no EGR system. Is my only option a complete swap back to my stock d16z6 or is it possible to do any modifications to make it pass smog.
As far as i know the d15z1 is running and bolted to all stock d16z6 parts(I.E. P28 chip, stock d16z6 intake manifold, and d16z6 automatic tranny)
Car runs find (Vtec kicks really hard because of the use of the p28 chip) how can i get this thing to pass smog without doing a complete engine swap.
Please help i have search the cc forums and havent found any useful information, any advice is greatly appreciated!!
And no im not trying to do a Mini Me swap, this is a complete DD/ looker i jsut need a working legal vehicle no performance neccissary.
