The 2nd gen JDM motors register just fine in California. If the only difference in those motors is the turbo, which is still "stock", then I wouldn't think it would be any different. I don't think the emissions is any different between the two.

Re: california legalities turbo swap?
they do not come with emissions equiptment. you would not be able to pass emissions, no idea about registering it... i thought the two went hand in hand for cars post 1973.

Re: california legalities turbo swap?
sure, drill and tap the intake, put egr on it, retune the ecu to accept what the egr tells it... wire all of it up to an output that the DMV can read.

Re: california legalities turbo swap?
not everywhere requires emissions... and you must have the car adequate to the area's requirements.
