Tailpipe emissions a JDM engine will pass -- if anything, Japanese standards are tighter than North American ones.

Where you get stuck is in the visual inspection. North American pollution controls all include an exhaust gas recirculation system of some kind, a valve or hose. Japanese engines use a different emissions control setup, so wouldn't pass visual. And in areas where you're not allowed to swap in engines that were never certified by the local standards (e.g. California and CARB), you're also stuck.

Check the local laws...
