Actually, yes they can be legal. If you have a 94/95 its easier to get a 94/95 engine (but those are expensive)
Frankly, get some holes drilled for your egr, visit cali state ref and they will certifiy your car smoggable (legally) then you have your paperwork, then strip that stuff out and your back in your power range.

is it really legal as long as you get an EGR put on the JDM motor?
