The ways you deal with smog...

[Double]

This question is for those of you that live in a city that requires emission testing (so the country-bred rednecks need not apply )...

What are the ways you guys deal with the testing in your city? Also, what kind of engine/car combinations are you using?

I know that swapped in Jap-Spec motors are supposed to be illegal in every state, but I have heard of people beating the emissions testing.

The reason I'm asking is that I'm really interested in picking up a 97-98 240 and swaping for either a SR20 or a RB25. Right now I'm just trying to get as much information as I can about it. I'm assuming that model of 240 comes fully equipped with OBD-II, which everyone loves , and I was just curious how that would work with swaps of this nature. Would an earlier model S14 be less of a headache, or is it really not that big of a problem?

for odb II, you'll pay up the nose for it most likely. Good luck with that.

It depends a lot on the tester. In WA if you have OBDII and its broken sometimes they will just run a standard emissions test. The engines themselves can be made to pass emissions relatively easily. But they will not usually pass smog tests if the state has them.
