okay, i live in utah, the area i live in is Smallsville( no one down here really.2000pop. for county)

and i had a few questions about street legal stuff.

i read earlier that the SR20DET was never approved by DOT.
Does that mean that it will NOT pass regardless, because i live in an area where they DONT do emmissions. at all. only the Safety check,  with that being the case, what would i have to worry about if considering a SR20DET swap.

also, i would be moving back to Salt Lake in the next 2 years, is there a way that i could MAKE it pass. (without pulling the Engine and replacing the KA every year!)

or is the option of registering the car in a smaller county that has no emmissions req. work.

i Really Want to do the SR swap, but im concerned about driving to other areas and getting pulled over, unless im like mad speeding or something , they prolly wouldnt even look under the hood would they, and chances are, they wouldnt know what it was to begin with right... i dunno
im just trying to find out of the SR swap is a good idea for a car that will be a daily Driver in central utah and in SLC in the future!
