is there anywhere on the engine that says what year it was made? I am considering getting used Japanese engine and I heard the 5sfe did not always have the same horsepower. 94-95 was the only time it was 135hp any other year was 130. So, if the engine is all by itself, how can I find out what year it is?
Thanks --------------------  |

HC=High Compression (3S-GE is 10.3)
LC = Low Compression (3S-GTE is 8.5) Lower compression engines can handle more boost safely. About the ACIS: Cant really explain it in words. Something to do with the volumetric control of the intake runners. Here's a pic:  @JasonX: I believe the 3S-GE is a straight in swap. Tranny (manual) is a direct bolt on (try to source the JDM/EU transmisson, it has a longer diff so also longer gears = higher mph per gear).
