BECAUSE THE SR20 WAS NEVER OFFERED IN RWD CONFIGURATION IN THE USA LIKE THE VQ35 WAS! Swapping a USDM SR20 into a RWD platform makes what used to be legal, illegal. And pointlessly retarded.Cap’n Morgatz wrote:I know the SR engine isn't illegal (it's in several USDM cars), and turboing an engine is very rarely illegal, so where's the illegality here? There's no difference (smog-wise) between an FWD and a RWD engine, so I'm struggling to see the reasoning that the SR20DET should be illegal. >_>
And turboing an engine can very often be illegal depending on what state/county you live in and what their inspection requirements are.
Let's stop making generalizations about off topic SR motors, folks.
