I was looking into some engine swaps and have come up with a pretty great sounding swap. Ill be posting up after i finalize the plans but have a few questions about reffing an engine so i dont have to find my way around the smog. (cali regulations by the way)
The block will be the 5SFE. Can i reff the 5SFE in a 94 ST? Yes? As long as the block is 94+? Do the heads of the engine affect the reff success? Only if theres a VIN on the heads? Are there? Does the Drivetrain affect the reff success? How do i go about reffing if all this works out? Any input would be really appreciated. . . -DST 94 -------------------- |

Yes, the 5S was offered in California in practically every single 90's model four cylinder Camry you see. Andrew said the 5S-GTE engine, which is the 5S block with a 3S-GTE head on it. That is what is illegal in California.
I'm a bit confused by this thread. You said you're looking into engine swaps, then asked about smog with a 5S-FE in a 1994 Celica ST. The ST has a 7A-FE engine in it, not a 5S-FE. So you're looking at swapping a 5S-FE into your ST? -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.
