Cool thanks guys,
I MAY have found one, its a 2wd , not that I care, I have all the drivetrain from a legacy turbo to put in it hence the need for a 94 or earlier for smog legality. I will go check it out this week if its still there.
oooo cant wait, hybrid ej22T in a light little wagon. should be fun.

Depending on the engine your putting in you shouldn't need to be worried about the MY of the vehicle as long as the engine going in is newer and all the emissions equipment is in place per the year of manufacture of the engine. I believe this is how the EJ20 swaps have no problems when visiting the state ref although I am sure the I-Speed.us guys can elaborate more on this topic.

You are right, the engine has to be of the same year or newer ( I went through this alot when I was doing freelance honda builds/tuning ) the engine that is going in though is technically a USDM legacy turbo engine ( even though it is really only using the block ) . But since they only made those engines till 94 I need a 94 or older to meet emissions standards.
thanks man!

Oh...
If the rest of the engine is frankensteined you could use a newer ECU reflashed to get through the ref though I assume thus opening up your options on the MY of the car, or have I missed something?

in my experiance up here the Ref will look at the engine code stamped in the block. Its just a little easier this way since the wiring is darn close etc. Although if this one I found does not work out I may go through the re-wire of a wrx type drop and accidentally drop some grease on the ej22 engine code
