3sgte emissions Options

[6g25th]

I'm hoping to have my 3s swap done by October, but my emissions is going to be coming up after December. I'm just wondering what you do to pass emissions with a 3s swap. Is there something you can do to make it so they can plug into the computer and clear out the codes to pass the car or im a screwed???

i don't have a 3S-GTE YET, but from what i'm understanding from my research and contacts, is that it'll pass everything on emissions EXCEPT visual smog checks.. so if you know anyone that does any of the checks, you're golden... if you can shell out a little extra cash for the check to the right person, you should be good... otherwise, you can try explaining that it'll pass everything but visual....

other options that may or may not work are: put in a better catalytic converter without telling them (if they don't figure it out), new plugs, make sure there's no valve overlap (SHOULD be an ECU tune regarding VVT-i or VVTL-i depending on which generation 3S-GTE you have), injector cleaner, perhaps new injectors, lower pressure on the fuel pump, disable and/or put on a smaller weaker turbo (if running aftermarket), etc....

hope i could be of some help.....

also: have you considered doing the swap after the emissions screening?
