hey, i am researching some stuff related to getting late model Supras.
is the j-spec cats a 3-way regulated catalytic converters?
are they the same on US, EU or UK specs?
are they same for all years (1993 to 2002)?
according to the manual for a 1997 US-spec, both cats is 3-way in US-specs.
i am assuming they are 3-way, but assuming is different from knowing
I'm not sure what 3 way means but I do know the later jspec larger second cats are not the same as the earlier jspec ones. The early ones have a proper 'honeycomb' section visible the later ones have a straighter through bore pipe.
I've not seen any differences in first cats ( small ones nearest the turbos)
Number 8 ...........doing my best to keep
Number 9 ........been and gone!
Number 10 ........on its way
Three-way just means it does 3 tasks. removing CO, HC and NOx.

the US catylytic converters are different from the JDM ones, theres only one in the downpipe, and theres one in the mid-pipe as well. If you know of a stock OEM downpipe with cat for sale lemme know!
