I'm looking to buying an S14 240

but like everyone else the stock engine isn't going to do it for me

I want an RB25det

my question is what do I have to do to make the car pass inspection and emissions

will the car pass a tailpipe test in VA?

let me know if you have any knowledge on this subject

I know the engine isn't technically supposed to be in the car because it's not a US engine, but all I'm interested in is how I can pass state and emissions inspection

thanks in advance

Nick

mix some denatured alcohol in your gas tank and slip the mechanic a 100

I have some exp with the KA24, I like the engine, but after owning mY S2k and other cars I need the higher revving of an RB25det or an SR20det

don't get me wrong, the KA24 was an AMAZING hardworking engine and the only problems I ever had was the alternator and at the very end 153k miles the radiator cracked on top

but I'm planning on a swap now

any thoughts? or suggestions in VA

Here I think this might help you some. http://www.club240.com/forums/showth...?threadid=9726
And from what it says they do pass emissions.

Anytime man. I am thinkin about doing the same thing as you with getting an rb25det or the other option turboing my ka. I am not sure which one i wanna do yet, but i can tell you the rb25 will take more of beating than the ka on stock internals. It can also run 13's stock boost, so thats another plus. Decisions, decisions.

if you want high-rev's, go for the CA18DET. stock rev limiter is set to 7700rpm, but you can take it higher. valve float starts at about 8700.
