Ive seen smog guys not worry about intakes since its just air filters. Possible for my car to pass visual on a motor swap since its basically the same as a turbo model?

intakes usually dont matter. as long as the MAF is on the intake, you can have a snorkel with a penis head air filter sticking out of your roof.
about the engine swap, if the technician doesnt notice that its the jdm motor, since the turbo motor was offered in that year, and all the emissions crap is on it (air injection and egr i believe, as well as cats) it should be fine. worse comes to worse, if he notices its the turbo'd engine, he sends you to a ref.
