I want to swap an sr20det into an s13 chassis, BUT I live in California and have to go under CA smog regulation crap. Has anybody done a DET swap and passed?? I still want to be able to register it and have it pass smog n everything, so its kind of legal. Can it be tuned to pass smog??
HELP!!!

It's not a legal motor.

If you can find a smog station willing to overlook the visual, then the SR is able to pass the sniffer test, as long as you have it in top notch condition and a cat.

And please, DO NOT ASK (online) where you can find a smog station willing to do this.

Anyone know the legalities in Ontario, Canada?

The best chance of getting away with that would be to..... Go to one of those instant smog places, they just to a quick check with your exhaust. They don't even pop the hood!

This might not be the same at every place so I can't garauntee that it will work.

I live in NV.... No smog check for me HAHAHHAHA

Good Luck!!!!
