Yes you can take your car there is no laws about swaped motors or anything like that. You will just need to pass emissions every two years if your living in the phx area.
+1 Its so easy out here all you have to pass is the sniffer, they don't even do an actual visual inspection

Not that it should be a problem if the car is OK but AZ uses IM147. Harder to pass than California.

thanks because we don't have smog here so i don't know anything about smog, yall think i will still pass with all my mild mods? By mild mods i mean EGR delete, intercooler/pipes, 3in turbo back, intake, T61 turbo, NO cat, stage 3 clutch/flywheel. I will be going to school at UTI, so could I get away with my mn plates while im down for two years.

You'd probably have to install a cat for the test. You might be able to get away with it if you won't be changing your residency.
It will not pass without an EGR and catalyst. As far as what defines residency for registration and licensing you should check the AZ DMV website.
If I remember correctly, students are not required to have AZ plates, and if you don't have AZ plates, you don't need to go through their emissions testing either. There's so many students in the valley that I don't think they even hassle people about having out of state plates either. Well, between students and snow birds anyway... I lived there for years with Wyoming plates and never once got asked about it.
That said, sign up on azsupracentral.com, it's the local forum down there, some good people with Supras down there.
