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?

Actually, there is such a thing as a '99 third generation 3S-GTE. In some European countries, the GT-Four was produced in 1999. Also, there is a fourth generation 3S-GTE used in the Toyota Caldina that puts out 254 horsepower at 6200 rpm, which is actually more than a JDM third generation 3S-GTE. A JDM 3S-GTE puts out 255 PS at 6000 rpm, which is actually 251 horsepower. To convert PS to horsepower, you need to multiply by .98629. 
-------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
