Engineering point of view states that the engine swapped into the chassis can be older but it will have to meet emissions standards of the chassis year. IE; B16 must meet the emissions of the 1992 EG. Which is very easy to do, Honda motors are very clean.
If the EG was released in Australia with a B16, we could use ANY year model B16 since it is the same platform engine, regardless of 1989 or 1996 for example.
All in all;
- If the car is released with that engine in it standard, the swap is legal and does NOT need engineering.
- If the car is receiving an engine that is older than the chassis and not part of the OEM engine line up for that car, an emissions test is in order to clarify the legality of the swap.
ye i think your right i got a 93 del sol sir engine in my 94 vti and the conversion was done just over a year ago
