Legality of swaps- RB engines legal!?

[andrave]

Ok and everyone thinks this is the same question that has been asked.
BUT I was thinking last night, if you have to replace an engine with a newer engine that was approved for US use, well, for isntance, the swap to an R33 RB25DET should be legal then?
Thanks to Motorex, the GT-S and GT-R (rb26 and rb25) are both legal for use in the US.
That one guy said his friend had a civic that he had swapped a newer integra motor into and he just got a plate that said it was like approved, well technically, I'm thinking that should work with a Nissan too. The problem would be that you can't use a JDM engine, you would have to get one from Motorex. However, I did see a wrecked whole car R33 GT-R up on ebay, a motorex one. So it wouldn't be impossible.
Anyway, people who understand the law better than I do, please comment.

They are legal in the US with a special title, wich MotoreX will charge you an arm and a leg for.

These are not street legal as far as I know. Period

If you get a special title from motorex, does that mean that the rb25 had to come from them? Or can you buy an rb of another site and have motorex legalize it.

Or you could live somewhere where they don't check for that stuff. . .

You should probably ask Motorex and see if the engine from one of their cars would be legal for your car. It would seem likely, since they have already installed all of the smog/emissions equipment for the engine that would allow it to be street legal. I would probably ask them IF you are SERIOUS about doing the swap and not just a pipe dream.
