- Fri May 14, 2010 6:59 am #194157 So I threw a rod a few weeks ago in my 92 Honda civic si hatch and so the head was still good and I ended up sourceing a d15b7 block, so I did the mini me. My question is since my car already came with a vtec motor will I still be able to pass smog if I just changed the block and put new gaskets and a new timing belt?

- Fri May 14, 2010 8:38 am #194165 Well I live in Cali and we all kno how strict Cali is. Also I was wondering what 2 different types of timing I need to do to get the motor dialed in properly? I adjusted the distributor

- Fri May 14, 2010 9:11 am #194166 thats how you adjust the timing, assuming the timing belt is on rite, for the egs the timing is 16 degress +/- 2 degress.. but ya you should pass the number part, just make sure all your aftermarket parts are carb legal

cause the damn laws are so strict, is the reason my motor is stock, i hate livin in cali, but you live up in nor cal, i herd the emissions arent as strict as down here in so cal...

- Fri May 14, 2010 9:45 am #194169 I heard there were 2 diff timings. Like one for the timing belt an another for something else or am I wrong. Sorry if I sound like a complete noob

- Fri May 14, 2010 1:26 pm #194189 you need an adjustable timing gear to make up for the 1/2 tooth difference when putting a d16z6 head on a d15b7 block. I think a y8 timing gear might work too...
