Re: latest year with manual conversion
I don't know if anyone has done a 96 or 97, but there is no reason it shouldn't work, just might cause a CEL due to not getting signals from the 4EAT, but that wouldn't keep it from running

Re: latest year with manual conversion
If your's is a JDM then you don't have obdII and it will not cause any problems. The problem comes in the 96 and 97 model US cars because of the mandate to upgrade to the on-board dagnostics II

+1. If you do not have an OBDII diagnostics system, you will not have an issue as far as I know

Re: latest year with manual conversion
mine is indeed an US OBD II mode. so, why issue would there be for the conversion?

Re: latest year with manual conversion
It is only an issue if you have an emissions check or inspection as doing a conversion lights up the Check engine light due to the removal of the TCU which has an atmospheric sensor(I believe its what causes it) which communicates with the ECU.

But... Other then the ECL, is there anything else with ODBII cars that would make it hard for a 5-6 Speed Manual Conversion? Because I am thinking Calista would be amazing with a 5spd (And... we dont have Emissions Checks here )

Not that simple I am afraid. It is a data signal sent from the TCU to the ECU. It caries dependent upon conditions. So it would need to say the right things at the right time. The only real way to keep the CEL from comming up is if the ECU was re-flashed to rid it of the need for the signal. Tom |

Re: latest year with manual conversion

Re: latest year with manual conversion
I meant DCCD... but before anything, the CEL issue has to be resolved...
