I have been looking into swapping my 1994 ST 1.8L w/ auto tranny for a jdm 3sgte. Is it possible to use with awd tranny in CA?
I am aware that the Japanese do not have EGR systems. Is it possible to use a intake manifold and egr system from a close relitive in california for smog purposes?
Will the gt-4's gas tank mount in the same spot on the 6G st?
I wish to achieve awd, is their a large problem that I am overlooking? Because not many people are doing this it seems..
Is it because lack of drivetrain/suspension parts in the US?
Is their holes to accomidate the driveline bracket?
Cat converter?
exauhst, will it get in the way of the driveline?
I am assuming the front ST halfshafts wont spline up with the jdm tranny?
Will I be able to use the front hub assembly?
How would I cope with the rear diff between the rear halfshafts?

So the rear supframe will not bolt onto the 6g st?
Is it possible to bolt it on?
I do have welding experience from the srjc, any pics on this topic?
How could I get ahold of the mr2 parts i need?
So you say theres no way to legally run the 3sgte in california? even with 94 mr2 egr system and intake?
would JDM ECU not controll the egr?
Im assuming aftermarket ECU's are ref's worst enemy?
would it be a horrible idea to just swap for the 2.2L 6g engine, and bolt on the awd tranny and build up engine for hp/torque?
Do replacement parts come from japan?

read my post again.

nothings bolts up.

search the forums for pictures.

you most likely will need to get a mr2 rear clip. Call around your local engine company or ebay.

like i said in my previous post; ONLY way to get it smog legal is to use "everything" in a mr2 turbo. No if and or buts. Will jdm ecu work? yes it would, but will NOT pass smog or ref.

read my post again, the awd drive train is the hardest part. If you manage to get it in, you can put what ever motor you want in there.

replacement parts come from where ever the celica gt4 was made, EU/japan... ect.
