Has anybody here attempted to match the 5SFE bottom end with a 3SGTE head. I found this link some guys building one.

Not as hard as you think... making a 3sgte stroker is in escense just bolting the 5sfe block (with an st165 flywheel) to the 3sgte head. Depending on the year of motor you may have to drill out coolant passages. There is a chance that, however, that the passages match up perfectly... not sure what year that is.
Doing this for a celica would basically be the same process as a 3s swap... just keeping the 5s block. The 5s block and crank are actually stronger than the 3sgte's, and in addition to having .2L more displacement.. that makes one MEAN turbo motor! |
