i just have 1 question. is the cosmo engine smog legal here in california? we all know they have those damn tough smog laws, and i really dont feel like taking it and getting it smogged illegaly every 2 years and paying upwards of 200 for it being altered, thanks for the response

 

no

 

LOL Thats funny, i doubt you will ever get it somg legal. Mine runs so rich, I could plumb a long pipe into the intake of another car and the other car would probally run off mines exhaust LOL

 

i think if you had all the cosmo smog equipment it would pass any emissions test, but it was never certified in this country, so its technically illegal to even put one in your car

yeah i thought so, and i dont feel like paying some bum 200 or 300 dollars to get it illegally passed every so often, my best bet is a 13bt or somethin else, thanks for the replys

 

Are you guys forgetting that all of Mariah's 3-rotors are C.A.R.B certified in California. 100% street legal....3-rotor!!!!.

@12apwr. do your home work!!! Call the California Air Research Board and the Department of transportion. Ask to speak to someone who knows about motor swaps. And don't go off of hear-say, find out which statues allow you to do this. Also call Mariah Motorsports
they have done all of this and gotten their cars smog certified in California. Good luck, let us know what you find out.

well i have seen thatmariah motorsports does have legal 3rotors but i didnt wanna do all that i just wanted something simple, plus im too lazy to call those places, but what i do know is that you can get say get a newer engine in an older can(same company of course)but you can do it the other way, newer car older engine, i have some freinds in a referre station so i get a little heads up. i think if i do a swap i would go for the 13bT, but thanks for the heads up
