SC300 1JZ swap in NY.
hey guys, i have a 2002 Is300 sportcross but i was thinking about picking up/trading for an SC300 with a 1JZ swap.
the thing is, how would that work in NY? i know that some SCs are pre-OBD2, but how would it pass state inspections every year?
may be a dumbass question but its one i really could never get an answer for

There is no hard and fast answer. It all depends on how lenient the inspector is, because the swap is not technically legal. Many inspectors don't really know what they are looking at though, so a clean swap with everything in place may not set off any alarms during inspection.

Living in New York what I can say is it depends on the area you live. Different counties have different laws. But in general the 1jz swap would have to be in a 92-95 to have a chance of passing. If you have a shop that you take your car to you can always call and ask.

Yea for my 92, to pass inspection all they do is a safety test. Check brakes, tire tread, lights work, and that's it. I was done in about 15 minutes and it only cost $21. My advice, go to a local mom and pop type of repair shop. Don't go to like a Goodyear mechanic for that, they will try to get you to buy things you don't need.
