Hi All

I've been lurking here for a bit and just signed up... great info for the non-vtec crowd!! I had a y8 until I spun a bearing recently... now i've gone B20 and am quite excited to get the car back (should be back this week)...

In regards to cams... I had stage 2 comp cams in my built d16 and had no problems with emissions... but if I go to a stage 2 will a non-vtec engine will it be acceptable at emission testing time? i'm in ontario and have to go through e-testing every two years...

that said... i've been reading a bit about b-series engines but have had all my experience with d-series till now... any suggestions on what cams to get? I've been reading that the Crower and BC cams seem pretty good... any other suggestions?

thanks!

crower/BC and crane are all pretty good. i cant speak from experience in regards to emissions though because our emissions test for 96+ vehicles consists of simply looking for ECU codes. so basically my crower 404's have passed emissions 2 times now

Here in PA my crower 403 cams passed with flying colors. you will be fine.

thanks for the info guys!... any suggestions on springs? I'm not familiar with the dual spring set-ups... i used ISKY with my d set up...

B20 won't pass if the tech looks at the engine code since it's condsidered a light truck/SUV engine.Should pass a test only though

they don't look at the engines here...IIRC ... thank goodness!

besides... my engine if from an orthia...

thats only in retarted ass california. the rest of the US isnt quite as mentally handicapped and wont even look.

i kinda find it strange that they would base it on the engine and not actual emissions in that case... what if you convert your engine to an alternative fuel vehicle?

Well there is a guy out here that will "convert" it to propane and then take it all off and your car is forever smog exempt.

yeah hehe, thats a pretty sweet gig...

Another trick is to burn 2 chips for your ECU...one stock, one performance...... Go stock for emissions....

hello fellow ontorian or how ever you spell it it would be considered a hot rod class car as that motor never came in that car for that year giving you the weakest of standards on the list hope that helped and where you from iam from windsor

thanks for all the replies and suggestions everyone... i'm in t.o...
