i just recently got into accords, i have a 1996 myself, i just got an h22 engine, and i am in the process of swapping it into my car. i hear that it isnt possible to make it street legal in New Jersey if i put it in, i.e: it wont pass emissions and what not. my question is, once i swap it in, is there measures i can take to get it through inspection legally, or am i going to have to take the other route and try to get a sticker elsewhere??? help me out, advice and directions are both welcome, thanks.

 

if its a american H22 then it can pass a **** test... just keep stuff stock till u get a sticker... and if ya get to be good freinds with a inspector... then he can just certify you strait up... nothing u can do though will make it legal...

 

ok thanks a lot, i appreciate it.

 

An OBD 2 H22 with all emmissions components from the donor engine installed, is smog certified and LEGAL for a '96 Accord

 

If people in CA can get they'reJDM H22'sto pass emissions and geta BAR certification, then you can do it.
