I keep getting contradicting info. One site says the engine will not meet smog, and yet people have swapped the engine into US Celica's. I Live in California where all the regulations are the strictest, is it legal to swap in the 3s-gte or not?

In california I hear its nothing but a pain in the ass since for one the engine you get needs to be newer than the vehicle you own (or from the same year), so finding an American 3sgte for your 6th gen just wont happen, then getting a Japanese one, you have to install the smog equipment and even then Im not sure if they would still pass you.
