its a 95

find a shady smog shop, slip em some cash and you'll pass...

Honestly man california fucking sucks... they crack down on all the wrong people. Think theyre helping the environment/stopping street racing. :rolleyes

You just have to dive in, keep your car low key/sleeper and your fingers crossed!!!

To Stay N/A with $5,000

Cold Air Intake
60mm Throttle Body
Cams
Underdrive Pulley
Headers
Hi Flow Cat
Cat back exhaust
Raise Compression
Port/Polish
Weight Reduction (free)
(SMALL of nitrous if money left over)

you should be in high 13's or low 14's

Even with all those, you should have enough left to drop the car with some Tein or H&R springs and possibly some decent wheels.

rebuild forget the port and polish and get a direct port nitrous system. Also get an intake, full exhaust headers/hi-flow cat/catback, AFX underdrive pulley.

There is no way you're going to be in Mid-13's with those mods unless you are using a TON of nitrous....maybe at 11:1 compression and a SERIOUS weight reduction....

get a turbo dude and just reset the CEL right before the emissions check w/a pocketlogger...most CEL's take a little bit of driving to trip..

and by "mid" i meant "high" 13's

Get a stage one, plus high comp rebuild (low comp if you wanna play it safe), then pay the smog guy some extra cash :).

Sorry to have to break it to you but...if you reset the ecu and dont drive for the minimum amt where the computer will run ALL diagnosis (which will trip the CEL again if it continues out of whack) the OBD2 sys will tell the guy to send you away

BTW i think you are lucky you are 95 in this case...i got a CEL all the time on (disconected EGR...its there just for show though...everything APARENTLY hoooked up)...i still pass in NV which is similar to the CA test (dont remember the CA ISO for their test..i know they measure NOx for fail... we dont...but if you making NOx..means you are running hot and lean which in a turbo's case means dissaster...most the time you will run pig rich after turbo...hopefully you got a great CAT converter that can chew through those HC's)

or you can buy my car for $4800 420A turbo t3t04e fully built stage 3 clutch 10 differnt autometer gauges. yellow carbon fiber hood projector headlights bomex kit.()

i was thinkin of buying a del sol and putting a H22 vetec motor turbo thatz why. i'm still debating wether to sell it or not we'll see. man my homeyboy has a 4dr 90 civic and its LS vetech good damm does his car pull hard. i ran 15lbs to his 10lbs he beat me by like 2 cars. he ran 13 flat at the track still spinning going into 5th gear i guess his dfi and lsd tranny has to do with alot of that.

dont stay n/a. that money will much more benefit you being turbo'd instead of n/a.

Buy a turbo kit and rebuild your bottom end, then keep your intake, manifold, and exhaust and whenever you have to get checked just put your stock shit back on :shrug

man the reason he smokes you is because you can't make up your mind, whether you want a showcar or a race car. Nobody needs ten autometer gauges. Nobody.

You need more than $5000 to have a turbo, rebuild, and pass smog. Going to get flamed . . . assuming your still stock sell your car and get a gsx. :)

you can be show n go i'm more "go" than show i am boosting 15 to 18 psi i was just giving you an example of the power rating of a honda LSvetec. and geting beat buy 2 cars from a 12 sec honda is not geting smoked espeacially when i run 13sec 1/4 mile times at 105mph.

thats pretty respectable

how do you like that clutch? my pos stocker that i JUST replaced not 500 miles ago feels like its got maybe 6 months... Goddamn turbocharger. :(

the spec stage 3 i'm really impressed it has stock pedal feel its holding pretty good after 4months of abuse 15psi launches. it has a little chatter thatz to be expected though.

who makes it/where'd you pick it up?

Only $1000 for intake, header, and cat back exhaust. Oh! 20-25 hp! What a bargain huh? I'm in the same boat, I hate those damn treehuggers. Too bad murder is a crime or they'd be dead already

Good to see you're apparently using the search button, but next time check the date of the thread before posting, this is several years old
