(08-15-2010, 03:07 PM)ForcedInduction(08-15-2010, 02:06 PM)yankneck696 is considered illegal under DOT regulations.That is false. DOT has only to do with safety. Modifications and emissions are under EPA law.
Quote:I am now done with this thread.Bye.
K and EGR delete on your car is just as illegal as me putting a diesel in an s10. You made your point its not technically legal to put a diesel in an s10 under federal law, we get it. Thats fine and dandy. Probably 75% of modifications done to cars arent legal and honestly unless you live in CA no one really gives a damn as long as you pass emissions.
This thread has honestly gotten beyond pointless, thanks.
O btw and after reading into the laws further the swap is legal is a hazy sense seeing as how the the OM617 is a certified EPA motor produced during the same time period as the S10 platform and the S10 platform was offered with a diesel option.
Quote: For light-duty vehicles, installation of a light-duty eng~ne into a different light-duty vehicle by any
person would be considered tampering unless the resulting vehicle is identical (with regard to all
emission related parts, engine design parameters, and engine calibrations) to a certified configuration of
the same or newer model year as the vehicle chassis,
In english it says "swapping a light duty motor from one platform to another is illegal unless all emissions of the original engine are retained"
Quote:If the vehicle
chassis in question has been certified with gasoline, as well as diesel engines(as is common), such a
conversion could be done legally
S10 platform is certified in bother as and diesel. Is it the same diesel no but it is a certified platform to have a diesel power plant.
Quote:such that it is generally not
possible to put an engine into a chassis of a different manufacturer and have it match up to a certified
3
configuration
And theres the quote I'm sure your gonna come back at me with. Its vague and hazy laws. It doesnt matter what the book says. If they want to decide its illegal they'll do so after someone makes the choice to bust my balls. BUT there is no where in the laws that says the swap is straight up downright illegal.
Heres a link to a 6.2 swap in a Grand Wagoneer that was done fully legal IN CALIFORNIA (lol). Light duty to light duty, different years, different makes passed and made legal 100%. http://www.ifsja.org/forums/vb/showthread.php?t=80533
