Is it illegal to have VTEC on a 97 Acura Integra LS in California?
Hi I have a 97 Acura Integra LS and bought it on the streets (not from a dealership) the car came with a Vtec Controller (no paperwork for it) and im pretty sure it didnt come like that straight from the dealership im guessing the previous owner put it on himself as well as the headers are from a GSR... and the air intake is missing the sticker with a Code... I have another one at home from a friend that DOES have a sticker though can I just swap out my current air intake and put in the one that does have the sticker on? or was that sticker registered only to be used on the original car? When I tried to smog my car they told me I couldnt pass because of the Vtec controller i believe, they were pointing out to some wires that were coming from the intake manifold and said "that shouldnt be there." and at the time a friend told me he thought those wires were from the Vtec controller, so I assumed it was the vtec controller that didnt let me pass.
So im wondering is my car not street legal? And if so what is it that keeps it from being street legal and smogged?
Also if there is anyway for me to legally own that VTEC controller on my car please let me know what I can do to make it legal to drive as I do not want to give it up lol
