The only way you could do it is to find a 94 or 95 USDM MR2 SW20 motor.

not possible !
you have a 1996 celi, and the last version of 3SGTE USDM was produce in 1995 ( MR2 ) the law states that when swapping an engine, it has to be the same year or newer and have all the emission control system in place, and there is no such a thing. the 3SGTE engines that are your year or newer are JDM which means they don't have Cali emission controls in place --------------------  |

Yeah your right. For some reason I thought he had a 94? Must have looked too quickly.
Yeah you cant do a legal swap. -------------------- |
