I have a 96 ek and this guy at this shop told me that i can get a JDM engine the B16A 92-95 (SiR-II) and i will be able to pass smog/bar. He said that JDM engine doesn't come with a VIN. I forgot most of what he said but can i put an older engine in my car?! Legally?! I know that california has a rule that the engine in your car has to be of that year or newer. Does that ally to JDM engine?!

It applies to all motors. And if it doesn't come with a vin it's more than likely that the motor was stolen.
