JDM 3VZ into USDM body, issues and solutions?
Since no one chimed in about the issues of a JDM swap in my other thread, I'll start a new thread focused just on this.
The issues I already know of is the EGR(or lack thereof) with CEL and passing emissions.
First thing, the EGR. What do I have to do about it not being there and have it work. It triggers a CEL if I remember correctly. What kind of changes are needed and is it difficult or time consuming?
Can I remove the EGR fromy current engine and put it in the JDM engine?
Emissions i'm actually not too worried about because we aren't as strict as Cali, and since my car is approaching the 15yr old golden mark, its gonna be even less of a problem for me.
Other than those, I'm a little worried about fitment, what if the mounts don't work and will my tranny bolt up to it?
Also thinking about tuning. The 94+ are rated at 200hp, what's different from those to the one in my car which makes 185hp. Will I be able to run it on shitty 87?
What other possible issues will come up?
There is a JDM 3VZ in my local junkyard(they specialize in importing foreign engines, especially JDM, last time I went they had half a JDM Gen 4 Camry clip there). Its gonna cost me $800 to buy it and $1300 with a transmission. I'm not sure if its the 200hp one though as I don't know the year of the engine.
