Hello, i am planning to do a small project engine swap on my 95 Celica ST from the US. I see lots of Forums that indicated on a 3SGTE swap into the 6 gen ST, yet i have many doubts on the technicality of the swap due to several problems: replacing transmission, engine mounts replacement, shift cable, smog emission regulation, maintenance!, etc. I then look at other engine option swap like Silvertop 4age 20 valve engine but it is only 160hp. What i want relatively out of this engine swap project is to have "minimal" problems and yet "reliable/powerful". I was looking at the 200hp Beams 3SGE economical natural aspirated engine and sure looks tempting. Several questions: i see many forums on swapping the Beams into their "GT" model which has all the right mounting and assembly in compatibility for the swap. I know on the ST, the engine mounts are totally different. Has anyone done this kind of swap in their ST? Will a fully healthy Beams engine ship from Japan pass US smog regulations? If so, what are the crucial points i need to watch out for and what parts do i need to replace? I am also turning the automatic into a manual as well. (If i am going to go into this project, "i will be getting a full front clip with manual transmission imported here"). If i get the full front clip i have all the parts and mounts for the picking! Well any body out there that can help me out on this topic i am greatly appreciative! I LOVE MY CELICA and kept it in awesome conditon, i will post some pictures up when i get a chance.

1996 was the year all manufacturers were required to switch to obd II, which is just a computer system for monitoring emissions. Any car that was built without obd II is exempt from emissions testing because all of the testing facilities don't have the obd I equipment anymore. So if you're really concerned about emissions you need to buy a 94 or a 95 and swap a motor into that.
I just saw you have a '95 haha. You're fine to swap whatever you want. I would look up the beams threads that richee3, njccmd2002, and richochet1409 made; they did a good job documenting what's involved so your best bet is to start there This post has been edited by enderswift: May 24, 2012 - 10:12 PM --------------------  |
