California smog check, need to find "a guy" Options

[NaderG]

i live in California and as almost everybody knows , our emission laws are stricter than the rest of the nation .... so in order for me to swap my engine i will have to find somebody to look the other way and kind of pass it through the evil smog check ..... anybody here on the website lives in southern California and knows "a guy" that would do such thing .... because i been asking people that i know without any success ....

I think they have different ECUs. the 94-95 cali specs had 2 o2 sensors (all 96+ had 2 o2 sensors, cali and fed). There is a different part number for the EGR valve. 94-95 cali specs had 2 catalytic converters (all 96+ have 2).

in any case, a federal spec should still be able to pass california emissions if it's in good working order. if you failed, then there is something wrong with your car. if you post what your numbers were on the smog check I could help you figure out what is wrong with it.
