hey jim Im just gathering information for maybe an e36 M3 engine or a 328 e36 engine but my Ti is a 97 so it must be an OBDII. So would it be easier for the swap to convert it into an OBDI?
Thx in advance

That is sort of a chicken-egg debate.
I would first check your local emission laws with regards to using an older engine in a newer car- California for example, does not allow this. The engine must be the same model year, or newer, and must meet the emission standards of the newer year.
I also recently heard that Connecticut does not allow the use of any other engine- a replacement engine must be the same size, same production year and same displacement! Not a well enforced regulation (and I would have been 'grandfathered' anyway) but you should check to see what is OK before you start. No idea if this is "law" yet or not, but just an example...
Personally I would keep it OBD-II. Try to get the same year donor car as the ti (97 in your case) as it makes things slightly easier. | | | | | 06-24-2010, 05:49 PM | #94 | | Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2010 Location: Alma,Qc,Canada Posts: 12 |
Ok thanks Jim and in quebec we don't have any emission laws here so. Thanks for the hint too you seem to know what your talking about and it looks less complicated when you explained it.(tried some of my friends and they got no clue since they got civics and golfs and think that a v-tech is the best 4 pot engine...in the world.)
PS:Theres a guy in my province who cut a civic in 2 and put it on the lower half of a Subaru chassis and he was able to insure it and get all tje paper work done on it haha | | | | | 06-24-2010, 09:02 PM | #95 | | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT!

In that case, you may want to see what kind of deals you can get on an engine or complete car.
That will likley be the deciding factor... | | | | | 06-27-2010, 06:19 PM | #96 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Richmond Hill, GA Posts: 1,231 |

car-B-Q is pretty legit if you ask me  | | | | | 06-28-2010, 12:48 PM | #102 | | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT! Posts: 3,156 |

Quick question....I know...SEARCH!
Do I need to use the donor's cluster?
Current ti has 160K miles
Engine/tranny/cluster/etc... from the donor has 77K
I'm pretty sure J!m covered it in the manual but I left it at work...
