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

Jeff, a 5sgte even with cats and egr is NEVER going to meet the 5sfe smog requirements. As im sure you know, but for others ill say it. To run a 5sgte you obviously need to upgrade the entire fuel system and tune it, and when tuning the tuner will be looking for the best power #s and less wear on the engine, not the o2 output. Your gonna be dumping A LOT more gas into the engine and in turn get out a crap load more power. IF you think about its really simple. To get more power you add more fuel, when more fuel is added more exhaust gases are produced.
I don't have any written proof about the AWD swap, but when i went to clear a fix it ticket i asked a CHP officer if it was legal to change the drive wheels. They said if the car was never offered in CA with that type of drivetrain, its illegal. He coulda just been BSing but i dont really wanna test that. http://www.bar.ca.gov/80_BARResources/07_A...Guidelines.html : Smog Inspection These vehicles must pass a complete smog inspection (visual, functional, and tailpipe).
