Please explain, 3SGE Options

[6G96GT]

What is this engine? I've just come across it and am interested. I like that it is NOT boosted, right?? I have a 96 GT with the 5SFE. How do I get the 3SGE? Is it a standard swap? What else do I need and exactly what is it again?? I know there is a Gen 3 with 173 hp? Please clue me in...

Yea the OBD-II is a bunch of exta sensors stuck on the engines after 1996 to make sure we dont mess with any of the emissions stuff here in the US.

I guess you SS-II guys dont have any of that? they dont plug ya into a comptuer to see if you are running clean?


6G96GT i say if you dont have emssions testing in NH, you should go for it, the 2nd and 3rd gen have loads of potential for NA power and are a third the cost of a Beams

But if you do have emissions inspection, just forget about it if youve got a '96. It will be more headache and money than its worth, trust me ive been researchin the swap for my car for months now.

nh has "emission testing" well sort of . its really just a diagnistic check on the cars computer to make sure the arent any problems with the car but they do fail if the car has been messed with. UNLESS you know someone who dose inspections
