hi forum, recently bought a 95 honda civic without it being smogged (lesson learned at this point), was assured that it would pass, when i go into smog i come back and was told it failed b/c aftermarket parts, was given a sheet of paper with the EO: D-392-11 looked into it and pretty much that intake is not legal for my year? not any 95, im pretty unsure what i should do at this point i do need this for my daily driver to get to work so i really need to smog it so i can get the title in my name at least, i am worried about getting pulled over as i cant afford tickets, i live in santa rosa, ca

any help will be amazing, as far as i know my options at this point are go to pick and pull and get a stock intake and hope i pass? let me kno if i can do anything else please, i just really NEED to smog it to make this legal

also let me kno if any other info/pics will help and ill try to help also message with any questions also ,have 600$ i can spend

You are giving almost no information. Is the aftermarket air intake the only issue? Post pictures of your engine bay, and buy an air intake system for a 92-95 Civic D16Z6 engine.

ty for response, as far as i know yes its only the intake, (i think she might have mentioned the cpu might have been messed with im not sure) i took a few pics but just was unsure about my best options, would you go ahead and just buy a aem for the correct year? or play it safe and go stock ( that is saying intake is my only problem)

The breather on the valve cover needs have a hose running into the intake. So any "dirty" air gets combusted.

D16Z6 engine?

What ECU?

Just scout junk yards for a stock intake for the D16Z6, if that's the engine in your car.

It doesn't benefit much at all. Especially on a stock motor.

Why do members like you waste people's time here? If you plan to pay a mechanic, what's the point of making a thread? Such a waste.

What do you think the purpose of a technical forum is? If you don't have the intestinal fortitude and intellectual strength to learn how to fix problems yourself, then what the heck are you doing posting in a technical forum? Do you have no consideration for other people's time? Are you really that selfish?
