gordon finally got his hatch certified. HA don't ask me what was done to it cuz i really don't know, but it was completely converted to prelude emissions spec. It was passed as an 88 prlude SI motor. This motor we had originally thought would never pass because there really isn't any usdm equivalent was probably one of the most difficult to pass. I guess i does pay off knowing the smog reff after doing numerous certifications.

That's very nice. Good news actually, but how did that happen?

That's good news! It looks like the B16 manifold came off to make this happen. Did you guys ever dyno this thing with and without the B16? How about seat-of-the-pants, much difference?

I have a B16 manifold that I am contemplating putting on mine, but I am not sure if it will be worth the hassle.

yeah, the B16 doesn't have an EGR valve but that's good news to see that the car can pass with the prelude emissions.

Anyway, I'm sure that that B20A does less emissions than a carbed A20A...
