Re: hwo does it work.....

Are you sure it does not have a EGR?

I believe only racing engines do not have a EGR because on a street car the combustion chamber would get too hot and the engine would detonate.

Re: hwo does it work.....

JDM cars do not have an EGR. You will be swapping all the stuff from your car, so no big deal.

Re: hwo does it work.....

do you have a vr4 right now? If so, yes, you will swap all your stuff onto the JDM engine.

You'd probably be swapping over all the accessories like alternator for example...depends though, ask him whats included with it...and ask him if the wiring harness is cut or intact. And the main reason you would buy an engine is for the bottom end and head.

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.

Re: hwo does it work.....

You will have two 99% identical engines. You can just take accesories from one and attach them to the other...no big deal. Small stuff like EGR adn PCV valves from an old motor wont damage a new one. I havn't done it, but I can't think of any forseeable issues. Should all be like plug and play. Think of it like a computer. Your old one gets a virus on it, but you can still plug the old printer and monitor into your new CPU.
