okay here we go im starting my 5sgte thread im planning to go with the 3sgte crank instead of the 5s crank. does any body know exactly how this would work and if it does work. i know pressure2 was doing a big bore set up for someone like this and was wondering if you could use the 3sgte crank and rods.

how much extra meat is there between the cylinders of a 5s-fe compared to a 3sgte gen3?


I came up with 2069cc for 87.5mm bore and 86mm stroke

be easier starting with a gen4 block to do that.

if you have to grind a 5s crank to fit a 3s block, how you gonna add the meat back to the 3s crank

You grind the crank to fit the 3s RODS, not the block. The main journals on both 3s and 5s are of the same diameter.

Yeah I decided not to go with the oversquare set up until later since I already.have the 5s crank fitted to 3s rods. And running Cp pistons pictures should start coming this weekend

well now that my build thread is dead its time to bring it back to life.. im planning to go with the over square since i never got what i wanted from that guy my dad knew because he never sent them after i paid for them.. but thats besides the point my car has just been sitting for 2 years waiting for the beast of the 5sgte i had promised it so lately i got a great opportunity to get a 2000 5sfe camry hehe lucky me.. well i get that next week and within the next year im going to be buying things for my swap. being said, caldina head is my go to for a 2000 camry am i right? ive seen a guy i dont know what forum but hes kinda the same setup going on but i want to oversquare the setup and see how the caldina likes that. its going to be a long and painful year waiting for this beast of an engine grow. but when it goes in im going to have myself a beast and thats what i wanted my little st to be. so let me know thoughts, or questions pertaining to the build.

I'm going to be posting pictures of the camrys engine and transmission as soon as I get it either Thursday or Friday it has a lot of miles so I'm going to replace everything when I have it out to build it of course so I've been researching some stand alone ecu's anybody got some suggestions that are some great ecu's that worked for them?
