Just follow the regulations/rules from BAR and you'll be safe.
your da can only have a B18a or B US or japanese market installed, OR US gsr (b18c1) or Type R (b18C5)

YOU MUST HAVE THE FOLLOWING
1. motor that is from the same type of vehicle IE no B20, that is a truck motor, you have a car
2. if your motor is OBD2 YOU must convert to obd2 (has to be the same obd as the motor.)
3. DO NOT DOWNGRADE you have to have the same displacement or higher.
4. ALL sensors must be there
5. ALL smog equiptment the replacement motor came with MUST be present in your car
6. MUST be a clean swap, no ghetto rigging vtec up.
7. NO check engine lights
8. USDM ECU

once you did all this take it to BAR and Ref pass visual and get your stamp. its better to get the sticker so if you do swap you wont get harassed.

I think here in the metroplex as long as you pass emissions and your windshield tags are up to date (there's ways around this too LOL) then pigs and the local government don't give two shits about what's under your hood (unless somethin has been reported stolen, maybe, but I haven't heard of any cases of that even being pursued around here). We have way too many other problems and not enough money to be worried about if the engine in someone's car came with it from the factory. In the rest of the state where they just do safety inspections then anything goes. Fuck Cali! HAHAHA I hate y'all have to go through so much shit over there just to have a bad ass car though.

A couple of SR20s would pull a premium one week before race wars...
