i have a plan to say fck the cali smog. so i get a diesel motor and swap it in and get it sined off and then put it out and put the 1000hp 2jz in. and put the diesel in the next truck and do the same thing. the diesel will be a slt, going form truck to truck. but im willing to do it cuz i say fck the man (CALIFORNIA SMOG) who with me
I back you 10000000000% make sure that slut mean diesel makes its way on to my ride and ill help any way I can! But why/how is this possible? Who'd sign it off??
let me know when it gets down the line i want a crack at this!!! Such a good idea, but try going through the sheriffs they are nicer. But i believe all mods have to be looked over by chp??
the guy i got the rhd from is doing it right now. i want to pull him motor out and put in my truck for a week
Thought about this before. Wonder if theyl want to inspect the truck later in the future tho after swappin to diesel. Post up wat u find out tho.
I've read up on this alot actually. You go down to DMV and ask for a paper I forget which one and you check the box for change of power to diesel then someone comes out and checks and makes sure it's diesel and they send you a new title. And if they ask for it be ref'd you should just take it to a different DMV cause you don't have to I guess. That's coming from others in CA tht have done it. Go to toyotadiesel.com
Or what you could all do is move to Idaho were our emissions standards are so lax you wouldnt have to do nothing to your truck but what you want. Megatherion if someone wants to lurk and be a nark let them cause all they got is user names hahah
Ya if you get pulled over and the cop asks you to pop the hood, and if he knows anything is not legal he can give you a fix it ticket that has to be signed off by a referee.
As far as I understand it you can not swap a diesel into a gas chassis that is subject to emmission testing legally in CA. The way to get around the big engine swap bs is to start with an original diesel VIN.
U CAN swap to a diesel since "they dnt pollute" as much as a gas engine. And u can also run biofuel wit the diesel. And considering how much power u can get wit a diesel, id swap it and keep it in the truck
