i guess this is for people who live in california but not many people go to california part of hondastyle and I do own 5th gen accord, but anyways...

does a JDM H22a pass emission testings in california? or will it undoubtingly fail just like any other JDM engine?

i guess it will fail. i know my car won't pass the smog in cali with the usdm f22a1. they have a special edition for sale in cali.

f22a1 is an EX accord w/ vtec, theres a lot of people here with that engine, you'll pass for sure if it's still stock....

f22a1 is a SOHC 2.2l non-vtec 4 valves a cylinder, making an eye popping 125 hp at 5500 rpms and 140 ft-lbs of tq at 3500 rpms

I have an Accord from Cali with the extra stuff on it. I was curious what was different also.

its something on the intake manifold. i only have one o2 sensor. on the jdm preludes theres a plate covering the hole that whatever connects to mine has on it

on the right side of the manifold, i have some sort of emmisions device, im not too sure what it is though. my friends jdm h22a dosnt have it. he also has the arrocd SiR engine though, not the prelude engine.

my egr is on the left side, he also has one still, i'll take a pic of it next time i think of it. the accord SiR engine is the h22a with a different tranny than mine, otherwise its the same as any other jdm h22a

ok... i went out and looked, even though it was dark, heres my best stab at it if you made a perfect triangle from the fpr and bypass control diaphram, it would be right on left of the bypascontrol diaphram. its not listed in the picture, because it has wires in it, not a vacuum hose is my best guess

hmm it looks to me like there is the heated oxigen sensor. i don't think i have that in my car.
