SR20DET Install

[EdotheFOB]

I found a very good price on a Bluebird SR20DET engine. Are there any tricks to swapping the engine with my 96 P10 engine? Any extra parts? Can I use the existing exaust?

Also, are there any laws when installing the engine? If you live in California, please answer this question. Thanks.

i dont live in CA, but i think emissions will be a prob for you

they have no EGR system so emissions will be a prob. pretty much everywhere

I got lucky an registration/smog came up a month before I went turbo an later to the det.So I dont have to smog again for another year an a half.

can't do shit in california. not even a header legally. if you want to swap in an engine, it has to be the same year or newer and be legal for use in california. check out this:

Is there any way around this?? This kinda sucks!!! Does it matter at all if the engine comes straight form Japan? I don't wanna lose this deal because of this damn law!!!!
