well my friends car didnt pass smog he has a b16 in a 91 hatch, ( ami hussshhh)lol i think he's just gonna switch the d16 back in to smog it, but would it work if he changed over his liscense plates and vin number to another hatch with a d15 and took it to a smog place with his registration and got it smogged. you guys think it would work. or there anything else he has to do to make this work. imput please. we would really appreciat it (hush ami lol)

put in some alcohol in the gas tank and throw your cat back on

the vin idea wont work ... because your vin is also etched into the engine bay



Note: Your engine bay should not normally contain a lizard.

[Redline_civic91]

i dont think they even look in there though just on the vin on your dash.

Why dont you just fix whatever is wrong with it so it passes the emissions test? The laws/tests are there for a reason.

if it was that easy my friend it would be done. were not talkin bout something little here.

Mine failed, I had to get a full tune up done, new plugs, wires, dizzy cap/rotor, o2 sensor, and cat.

I've seen treatments that you can put into your gas tank that guarantee you'll pass. Canadian Tire sells them up here. I'm not sure how well they work and what sort of long term damage they do but you might want to try one of those if you haven't.

I think the issue is the b16 is a DJM engine, so it fails the visual test.

If I switched VINs around...I wouldn't want to get busted if they noticed they were different (ie engine bay & dash)...isn't that like a felony or some shit ??

[XxLuckyLisaxX]

yea i dont think they check but would be nerve racking to take that chance

because to do this in california he would need to do an OBD-1 conversion and use all the del slow emissions equipment

Melt, is that an Alligator Lizard? We used to have those here in Texas, but I haven't seen one in YEARS!

[chopstick1981]

i dont know about other places but the emissions inspectors here never even popped my hood, they scanned some sticker in my door jam then put a box on my hood and revved the car... As for the b16, i thought those were suppose to pass emmisions alot cleaner than non-vtec motors.

[amy@af]

this is my only thoughts....if they did pop the hood, they should notice the dual cams. but it's been 7 yrs since i dealt with that shit, so i dunno. we don't have to deal with smog here in OR
