Rep Power: 315 it probablly wouldnt pass smog tests...and i dont know about the examinations.. if you wanna do a swap that will pass smog tests, get the k20a2(rsx type-s), its in the US already, so it shouldnt be a problem passing it

Rep Power: 0 When the engine is sent from over seas, it comes with the sticker, "Use for off road use only". It will most likely not pass emissions. You can do it if you are not going to drive it on public roads.

Rep Power: 0 you can do it, but you would have to pay someone $250 to make it pass smog if you know what i mean. Im not sayin that you should, but thats just an option...and probably your only one too if you get the R motor. Just get the S motor, you will be happy with it.
