Assuming you make you car pass the visual inspection, I believe the SR20 doesn't have to much trouble passing the actual smog part if it's tuned right. For the visual inspection, you'll have to figure out a way route the EGR valve as I believe it's the only emissions thing that the SR20 doesn't have. I may be wrong about this, but I know you have to do some custom EGR stuff to pass the visual inspection.
Hope this helps.

PS Otherwise, you'll have to figure out how to register it in a county that doens't do testing. My G/F parents offered to let me register my car where they live

Most know at least one person who will hook them up with a 'pass'.

No, the engine itself is foreign. The simple fact that there is a turbo there will fail the visibility test. You could disguise the turbo with heatshields and such, but just hope that the emissions level is normal.

I would be lucky enough to live in a county with no smog tests.  so soon i may have me a 240 w/ a sr20det. although we dont have emissions, we have alot of other dumb laws that you people in ca dont have.  Also its a bit easier to get j-spec parts and engines there in ca than here in tx.

Hmm... maybe the mods here should start posting disclaimers before we get someone in trouble!

SR20's...
Someone mentioned SuperSuck magazine saying $7000 for SR's.. they are smoking crack, I can walk down to Nissan Blue Stage and order a brand new SR20DET for less then that.
Do research, you will find them like my brother did for $1500 w/computer/harness/tranny
Smog?
do what Subaru did, (and a certain anonymous friend in Cali.)
attach 3 catylitic converters to the exhaust and install a Air/Fuel converter, lean it out.. alot. Drive like a granny to the emmisions, you WILL pass. Yes, the EGR is whats missing on the SR, like someone mentioned before.
If your resourceful and creative, you can do anything.
Catylitic converters work wonders.
