Kelvin,
provided, that the 3.5R also has the K20Z4 engine from the Atom 3, the engine in general should be able to pass EURO 4, at least it does so in the European Civic Type R, model FN2.
So if the engine does not pass that test in the 3.5R, it should be the result of the different mapping of the ECU due to the different hardware being used in the 3.5R compared to the Civic.(bolt ons: supercharger, different catalyst, different exhaust, different air intake and perhaps even changes in the engine itself etc.)
Just an inspiration and please note, that I am not an expert in what I am writing in the following so if you like to get more information you may want to rely on your own research:
An idea would perhaps be to use a HONDATA FlashPro and create a map for the ECU, that would make the engine and Atom be able to pass the test.
Admittedly that would not be a map you may want to generally drive the Atom with and it would be for test passing purpose only.
So the sequence would be: remap the ECU to pass the test and get registration, but after that map back to the 3.5R adjustments and drive on the streets. This would perhaps not be the most legal solution to be honest, but at least registration box would be ticked. What ever may come after this would probably be written on a different page.
Just for the case you should not know: a remap of the ECU should be done by experts only as otherwise the new map could easily destroy your engine.
I could imagine, that if you talked to companies being experienced in remapping K20 engine ECUs they might be able to tell you even on the phone, whether this might make sence at all or not.
Perhaps Atomstew could also comment on this as he appears to me to be way more an expert.
Regards
