Yaris transmission and axles on my car, Xd transmission and axles on another.....its up to you.

And about emissions, everyone should check their own states laws before starting any swap. I already have permission from California to do this swap, I called in advance.

Up here in Canadia (aka Canada), it varies from Province to Province and even different municipalities.

Where I live, I've never heard or seen of someone ever getting a ticket related to emissions / engine swaps etc....

And our emissions testing has moved away from sniffer tests (at least in my area) and now focuses solely on Check Engine Lights.

Personally If I go through with this swap, of a Toyota engine into a Toyota and one that will look like it belongs there, emissions and "Fix it Tickets" will be the farthest thing from my mind.

The only thing you'd have to check with in Ontario is that I'm pretty sure they check to see if the ECU is giving off the correct vin that is on the body of the car. If not that may mean an instant failure of the e test. I'm sure you could easily get a waiver but I'd check into it before you do your swap. Let me know what the result is

No, you can replace the ECU...hence replacing it when it fails!!! Sniff test that's it via OBD. They check if theirs been any cel that popped up recently. Straight forward. My friend nearby in Kawkesbury just went through it with his Audi URS4.

No municipality has a say in emissions in Canada. Regulated by Federal then Provincial.

Some municpalities (example in the North, like Sudbury) have traditionally been able (through their say) to become exempt from having the same standards.

I know this because its been popular at times for people from around Ottawa to try and register their cars with a northern address in order to be exempt from the requirement to do emissions testing.
