- Mon Apr 19, 2010 4:21 pm #188563 Very nice tranformation. One question though. For the rear disc conversion what all parts did you grab from the DA teg and was it a straight bolt on for the EJ?

pretty much just the whole trailing arm setup. It was all bolt up but the tabs for the e-brake cables dont line up perfectly so u gotta make them fit. Pretty easy though.

ive heard yes and ive heard no....i read that you have to make the motor identical to the usdm one. Even if it was legal i probably wouldnt have done it. I wouldve had to find and buy a P30, not exactly cheap and easy to find, i would need a cat( i dont have one), stock intake and manifold, headers, and hope that it passes after all that. I dont have a fat wallet at the moment so yea lol. Besides, i was having some problems with it.

Im trading it for a complete z6 swap with a cat and stock piping. The guy had just taken it on Friday to get his car smogged and it passed. Plus im getting cash on top and saving all that money if i were to even try to smog the b16.

Extra money= car parts

i thought you couldnt, and smog techs told me no

but this changes it all

Replacement Engines
Entire engines can be replacement parts. As with any other replacement part, the engine must be identical to the original. If the replacement block or engine is obtained without emissions equipment, all the equipment from the original engine must be installed on the replacement block.
If the engine is not identical to the original then it is not a replacement part, instead it is considered an engine change.
Engine changes are a modification that must meet certain requirements to be legal (please see "Engine Changes").

Japanese Replacement Engines
Used engines imported from Japan can be used as replacement engines as long as the engine being used has been identified as functionally identical to the original engine. Please refer to the engine importers catalogue to determine if a replacement engine is legal for installation in your vehicle.

Engine Changes
Engine changes are legal as long as the following requirements are met to ensure that the change does not increase pollution from the vehicle:
The engine must be the same year or newer than the vehicle.

The engine must be from the same type of vehicle (passenger car, light-duty truck, heavy-duty truck, etc.) based on gross vehicle weight.

If the vehicle is a California certified vehicle then the engine must also be a California certified engine.

All emissions control equipment must remain on the installed engine.

Vehicles converted to 100% electric drive, with all power supplied by on-board batteries are considered in compliance with the engine change requirements. All fuel system components must be removed prior to inspection. For additional information contact the ARB helpline at (800) 242-4450

After an engine change, vehicles must first be inspected by a state referee station. The vehicle will be inspected to ensure that all the equipment required is in place, and vehicle will be emissions tested subject to the specifications of the installed engine
