This is exactly why I purchased a 95. Its the only BD legacy to get the tail pipe test. OBD1 is much easier to manipulate/cheat.


OP, you can make fantastic STi level power without a full swap. You could get a JDM engine from the same era, run it with your engine management and use a piggyback to dial it in. That's basically what I did on my car. Except I couldn't afford a piggyback so I swapped to the stock injectors. It ran pretty good on par with a stock EJ205.
Anothernord put a turbo set up on his EJ25D and iirc he was well over what a stock STi will put down. Like 320whp.
