i wonder if the turbo kits from shiftgateperformance.com will be carb legal?? :dunno:
passed CA.state refiree
well as some of you know i got sited for my intake and exoust on my gen 3.i went to the ref and he said since i dont have the carb tag for my obx intake he cant pass it but if i put the stock one on he would.it took me 10 min and then he did all the test and passed with flying colors.he couldnt belive i had 190,000 on the od.
i said i would ask about a ca.legal 1mz-fe turbo and he said the only way is to do a complet swap with a 1mz that came with a turbo you need everything from motor to ECU.i thught the mr2 came with one but MRQ said he didnt think so:thumbdown well that ends that.
well i went with hard to do but possibul swap,i asked about doing a 2jz and rear wheel drive out of a supra,he said that is the best bet but sounds like alot of work.so i guess the only way to do ether of them you need to find a whole car with ECU and when you go to get it tested by the ref it cant have any problem codes

in cali thay must have been offerd with that motor.
I.E. if the 1mz in a mr2 cam with a turbo than you can say you did a engin swap but you need to swap out the ECU and every thing.
undowing the cruse and relocating the battery is fine but you basicly need the ECU to say it is the car you pulled the motor of with out errors:thumbdown and it has to be your year or newer.
i think i will look for a f*ckup supra and go that way sounds like the same amount of work to get i legal
