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 --------------------  |

ITs a regular 94-99 3S-GE engine. BEAMS engine was produced from late 1997 onwards. From what I know the auto tranny of a 5S-FE is the same as the 3S-GE version. The 'Auto tranny' 3s-ge had a different intake cam to have more low end torque and sacrificing high end HP (had 'only' 165-169bhp)
I think most engine would be sold with the 3S-GE tranny attached. -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!

No you will need the 3S-GE ECU and harness. -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!
