So with this head swap, should i still pass smog in cali?
@bigvic im unsure about that it's only adding a different stock part to the car but i dont know much about calis smog restrictions but i cant see how they would fail you for it.
O ok bc i was thinking that if it has the emission control and all it should b ok, I was jus wondering.
Just curious but has anyone tried dsm cam gears say off of a 1g or 2g, or is the evo gears the best rought? Because i have a friend that has lots of extra parts that he was throwing out, i was wondering if i should grab some gears from him, incase i decide to do this swap instead of the evo head.
im not sure but i think 2g cam gears might work not sure though.
but even with the evo head you need gears no matter what block is 6mm taller in deck height.
So no matter what adjustable gears are the only way for it to work? Am i undestanding correctly, or am i confused now? I have one more jy to check for evo head if its no good it looks like i am doing the sonata swap.
bigvic no you will not pass smog legally in CA with that swap. CA does visual and a 2 speed roller test. it sucks i know
94 galant gs belt works perfect... no need for adjustable gears either, but if you do want them look up Pro Street Lancer Evolution EVO Cam Gears i got both of mine for around 120. not sure how much they are now.
You could pass only if you have stock air box and you dont have any CEL. But is ok if you do a DOHC as log you keep the settup stock.
been reading up on this for a while, I'm gonna go with the Hyundai head, just to confirm I can use the stock hyundai cam gears with a 94GS timing belt correct? and I would just run the sonta head gasket correct?
better off to use the adjustable anyhow for tuning and if your doing the swap do it once. And as for head gasket get an oem evo h/g guys are not likeing the cometic ones right now.
wrong!!!! you cant use hyundai gears or the stock galant sohc gears. you need evo camgears dont buy anything else. and dont but the evo head gasket. just get and oem galant headgasket they are multi layerd steel now. thats what im using and its working fine . even at an 88mm bore
here is why the sonata/optima/galant gears and reluctors dont work
