damn today i got pulled over and they cited me with violation of 27156 (b). Im pretty sure this means i have to go to a state referee...

I have a 3rd gen 3sgte ...
... any advice???

I have the stock cat on the down pipe and a small cat from the 5sfe exhaust on the rest of the 5sfe exhaust.

No egr system but i guess ill have to add one on.

My question is if a 3rd gen is even legal

ah damn Craig, that sucks. Ya i remember your exhaust being super loud, especially when you gunned it down that tunnel in L.A.

maybe you could get an egr from the european 3rd gen 3sgte and the manifold from the 5sfe might fit. But even then its going to be really tuff to pass emission especially since it a motor that wasnt brought to the U.S. so ya the motor is not legal.

and if you take off turbo it might throw a check engine code and the check engine light will come on. i dont know much about cars but thats just my guess.... sorry to hear that you got pulled over

if you have to go to a state ref, in cali, and you have a 3rd gen installed in your car, your pretty much screwed.

I did think 3sgte had egr, only Europe 3sge 1996+ had them as far as 3S engines goes

i love not having to worry about emissions in wisconsin. I thought major emissions was done 96+ obd2 correct?

yes 96 vehicles and newer are obd2. He has a 95 so its obd1. but being that we live in CA emissions are just way to strict

booo strict Cali emissions!

ohoh, time to swap, get an old engine with wiring and put it in, go to the referee and then voila

ya he did the swap himself. but he probably has not time for that.

is a 2nd gen from a alltrac a legal swap for cali?

i heard a wile back that there cracking down hard on ppl screwing with there cars.........i heard that theyll check the vin and if your car has any mods not show on vin they smash the car.....they called it vin tampering...even if it is the vin for that car.....like my vin will show i have the gt 5s motor but if thats not whats in it then its vin tampering....at least that what i read in the papers

can i put a 96 or newer obdII in my 95 gt or does it have to be a 95 obdI???



yeah i think im going to have to do that... i guess ill have to make the time to swap a 5sfe back in. Can i use a 96 or newer obdII or does it have to be an obdI

If you have a 95 it MUST be OBD1 5sfe motor.

good to know ekk lol

whats a quick way to find out if its obd1 vs 2 other then year.. just so i can make sure

i dont think they will care if he puts a obd2 in so long as its from the same model car. old engines die and he can say he bought a newer engine but same model

If you need any help, just hit me up.

updates?
