"Imported directly from Japan ...." does this mean you can't use it legally elsewhere?

Bolt it up to the 6-speed out of an Altezza RS200, drop it in a Starlet, go sideways until you die in a ball of fire.

Don't care if emissions are 2 ticks above a Prius, just whether if you got pulled over you might get busted. Sure, that would require sophisticated cops ....

I... HAVE COME UP WITH AN IDEA.

Import engines from cars illegal in the US and just stick them in a US-legal car.

???

PROFIT.

pretty much a standard price for them without a trans.

if it was the MR2 version though I would have hit 'buy now' before the page had finished loading.

You can already do that, to an extent, anyways. It's pretty much how the Honda community functions once they blow their stolen motors. No, I'm not still bitter or anything...

Emissions testing would be the major issue depending on the location and what vehicle the engine is put in. Of course, different areas have different regulations.

Some areas go by visual inspections of the emission equipment to verify that it is present. Other areas use a "sniffer" to determine whether the vehicle emissions are at acceptable levels. Most vehicles since 1995 or so are OBDII compliant, so that gets scanned in addition to the "sniffer" test. I seem to recall that any car originally sold with an OBDII system must retain that system for emissions testing. I'm not sure if this engine is OBDII or not. A lot of that has to do with the ECU, which does not appear to be included.

In Pennsylvania, for example, I believe it would need to pass all three emissions tests for it to be legal.

When my SHO was tagged in MD you had to go for a sniffer test twice a year if I recall correctly.

Luckily, my county only requires testing once per year. Over half of the counties in Pennsylvania only need to have the visual inspection done. I guess that's one of the perks of living in rural areas.

Checked w/ the brother-in-law - I was wrong, it's every 2 years.
