i have just one question for this before i go ahead and start ordering the clip and all parts needed for this.

for those who has already done the swap... since in nc they do a OBD-II Emissions test on all cars 96 and up.. i was wondering if i was to swap to a 3sgte...will i get any problems with the obd test results and those that swapped already..do you guys have any problems with your check engine light always on or if everything is correctly placed the light doesnt flash...? thanks

yea i believe this needs to be moved to the forced induction thread, but no mod has seen it yet, lol... you should be able to get an accurate answer there

If you get a USDM 3sgte - probably not. If you get a JDM 3sgte, yes you'll most likely get problems.

even with a USDM 3S he'd have problems, the 3SGTE was never made with the OBD II emissions control, if I recall properly the last 3SGTE available was in 1995 MR2 ( OBD I ).

Yes your right - the OBDII diagnostics aren't there for them to plug into. Brain fart.

That just sucks..guess i cant pass inspections like this...gotta trade my 97 for a lower year model...maybe 94-95.. well thanks for the advice....guess i'll start looking for a lower year model next year... not enough time with the holidays coming up.
