I think he told me that he has to do smog tech a "favor" in order to pass..

these are usually very strict on these gross pollutors as we all know..

the jdm engine will pass smog provided you are running the usdmm ecu, and add a egr valve for visual.

Hahah, a sexual favor.

No, but you can't get away with throwing down a $100 anymore. The machines are WAY different.

swaps are always individual due to what they have set up wise...

i.e. engine type what's in or not on the engine, hoses, turbos, manifolds it goes on and on etc.

Don't forget the funny hairstyle as well Cal

Something to note when doing JDM STI or WRX NB swaps is contrary to popular belief you do not need to run 91 + additives to make up the octane points to stop the car from detonating. It can run without any boost modifications or tuning just fine on 91. If you need to do this please PM us offline and we would be happy to tell you how to do it.
