well I once heard if you have an engine swap you can have the car tested as a hot rod meaning the tolerances are more relaxed... how you go about getting that I have no Idea...

to get the car tested as a hot rod the car has to be registered as a hot rod. i don't think that it is worth the hastle to switch it instead of just getting the car to pass. think about it if it fails so bad that you need limits from 20 years ago the car isn't probably running very well

swapped cars pass e-test anyways...unless its some super race motor that runs mad rich, has no cats, uses a o2 simulator and has no emmission gear

otherwise say a type r powered civic will pass e-test...if u have a vafc just run a mild program though it

If your car is a daily driver then you should legitimately pass an e-test. It's a Honda engine, the things aren't exactly known for running like crap. I'd say that unless you have a crazy NA tune with cams and serious timing changes or a monster turbo, if it doesn't pass the e-test then you got ripped off on the engine or the install.

i thought it was if you swapped an egine that didn't come in your car that year its considered a hot rod.
so if you swap a b16a2 into a 93 si its considered a hot rod, but if you swap a d16z6 into a 93 cx it's not since it was available that year in a civic.
im almost certain you don't have to register it as a rot rod.
