I thought that 3rd gen. 3sgte is illegal in US due to emission restrictions?

Yup. Thats the reason why in the US the GT came with the 5S-FE engine and the GT4 wasnt released at all.

I thought it wasnt released in the US becuase the 5th gen alltrac started to bomb around 92' 93'...but im certainly not denying that it wouldnt pass..emissions

most 3sgtes, 2nd or 3rd gens will probably fail emissions.... it dosnt help that a lot of swap owners run with no cats and 3in exhausts.
i wouldnt let that stop you from swaping. there is always a shop somewhere that will hook you up with an emissions sticker. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Tailpipe emissions a JDM engine will pass -- if anything, Japanese standards are tighter than North American ones.
Where you get stuck is in the visual inspection. North American pollution controls all include an exhaust gas recirculation system of some kind, a valve or hose. Japanese engines use a different emissions control setup, so wouldn't pass visual. And in areas where you're not allowed to swap in engines that were never certified by the local standards (e.g. California and CARB), you're also stuck. Check the local laws... |

[right][snapback]330818[/snapback][/right] ok so your telling me i could import a GT4 without a motor? with the note that i will swap in a 2nd gen 3s-gte (downgrade but i still get the gt4)? btw, here in granite falls, wa i dont have to pass emissions either so everyone check the city & county laws as well!
