So I've been thinking alot in to the future on a project I wanna do. I want to get a 92ish 4runner an bag an bodydrop it. But I also want a supra drivetrain in it an I was wondering how would I smog it an everything like that an I'm in Cali by the way

 

you can smog illegally for at least 200bux. or swap newer USDM supra engine same year or newer then you truck leave it all stock with all the CA smog components and try and BAR it at a station

 

A jdm won't work?

 

yea....... if you wanna stay smog legal in cali (booo! )smartest thing to do would be to find a donor car....... not sure what power you are looking to get but you can find the 2jz (non-turbo) in just about any sc300 you can find or any IS300 newer lexus.

the older 2jz produced around 200hp. the newer vvti version of the 2jz produces around 230hp i think.

if you were looking for the turbo 2jz you will have to find an actual 98 or older supra that has the turbo motor and swap all the essentials to keep it legal.

but, if you are in a county where smog is not required unless you sell the vehicle, and are not required to biannually smog the car after you smog it once..... buy the 4runner, smog it once to place it in your name and look for whatever 2jz you want in it (n/a or boosted).......

 

Damn I'm one county away fromthe smog once an ur done for good. Maybe I could use my aunts address or my friends moms in the next county. But this project won't be for awhile haha just getting everything sorted out in my head an on paper

 

Its a PITA to get a BAR label these days here in cali. Your best bet is the donor car as mentioned but, it has to be usdm car. The JDM built donor cars are not the same so if you bought a jdm clip your screwed. I would go with the 1uz just because they have very little smog stuff and are easier to find emission stuff for as well as price being cheaper. still great power, good swap, and saves the wallet.

But if you have deep pockets then go big

 

Well my Buddys mom just bought a house in a county where it's a one smog deal an I'm close with his mom an I cud register it up there an smog it once with the 4runner motor then swap the 2jz

 

my parents used to do that with their trans-am. but when my mom was pulled over and the registration was different than the license she was ticketed.

i can only imagine the ticket would be worse in commifornia!

i'm lucky that i live well outside the emission area. i'm doing my share to **** up the air! lol

 

Ya thts true but it's just a thought haha. I'll figure it all out once my truck is done an I start building a new one
