Your shop has to use the Hot Rod Program because you did an engine swap. I have an EK and i swap in a JDM B16AII and the shop i went told me i have to use the Hot Rod Program...

McGann

yea ive herd about this "hot rod program"
ive also herd that b16a1 will never pass emisions
im curious to know if anyone has got one to pass legit

imported_teaelle

if you have a cat converter, u have a great chance to pass it

b4 u run the e-test, just rev your engine for 15-20 min to burn off the sludge, that might help

my 88 civic with D15 still able to pass the e-test, so good luck

McGann

thanks guys
im going to give it a go soon with stock intake exaust and cat
under the HOT ROD thinger
ill make sure shes real hot before i take it in aswell
anyone think that if i seafoamed it
it would make any differences?

I couldn't get my B16 to pass, ended up getting a conditional. Then, i moved somewhere you don't have to test. But, my motor wasn't running worth ****, so maybe if everything is tuned properly...

make sure you have stock ecu as in a non-chipped one. and both o2 sensors are hooked up and are functional and you aren't throwing any codes. I've got mine to pass last time, but that was quite a bit ago and they were playing around with everything. but all i can really suggest is make sure you aren't throwing any codes, you have 2 o2 sensors hooked up and you don't have a chipped ecu.

Ok well heres the deal.
The B16 will pass with no problem under ceratin conditions.
Like nautica explained try to have a stock ECU and proper O2 sensors and a cat.
Your car is NOT able to go under hot rod standard because its simply not a hot rod. There was a 1.6 litre engine available in the EF therefore it is not a hot rod. (It does not matter whether it was the B16 or not)
Take it for a nice boot around before the test and make sure the cat is warm, make sure your engine has a full tune up plugs wires all that stuff make it run well.
If worst comes to worst, your last option if your car is lowered. tell a shop that it wont be able to go onto the rollers and request a dual stage idle test because you feel uncomfortable with it being possible to be damaged. Then it will pass no problem, Mine passed with a spoon chipped ecu.

my b16 swapped car with chipped ecu passed no problem, so did brads (the prophet) just recently.....but his failed with an aftermarket generic chip, then passed when he put a chip with the stock b16 program and his is an EK converted to obd1 (using only 1 o2 sensor).
Mine passed with a generic chipped p28 (at the time) and stock cat with 2.25" exhaust, crappy dc header and a SRI.

imported_Moe_Mentum

It should pass, it being a Gen I should have no bearing on whether it is going to pass or not. Like Zeeman I passed with a b16 Gen II with 1 O2 sensor, OBDII-OBDI conversion and 2.25 piping, intake and high flow cat on a stock p30 ECU.

McGann

ohh i like the idea about it being to low and the dual stage idle test instead
car is low so ill trow my crap tires on the 13's should get me about an inch lower
thanks everyone for the input

mine couldn't pass worth ****

at least my timing belt didn't snap on the skyway

imported_jboogie

I have never had a problem with them agreeing to test as a hot rod. Ask the "inspector" to test it as a hot rod present reciept (for swap or parts for swap), and they just inspect it. Passed with flying colours.

2 swaps 97 EL OBD1 B16 and 92 EG with the same gen motor both running stock ecu.

Good luck.

i have to go get my car e-tested soon. it had b16, intake, 2.25 piping. the car sounds loud but i guess its just the pi[ing? :S not sure. what you guys suggest i do before i bring it in? new plugs and wires? also my parents use to own a car dealership. when their cars wouldnt pass they would take it to a performance fuel place and they can hook you up with some high octane fuel and make it pass. just bring them the sheet from your e-test so they know what you need.

McGann

any sugestions for plugs and wire / cap
?
I HATE E TEST this is so retarded

imported_kIeRaN

get honda oem plugs, wires, cap, dont cheap out on ignition components my friend

McGann

pfft oem
theres got to be somthing else OEM is like drinking don perry outa a sippy cup ahah no class
