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!

You should check your info a bit first...

First off... pretty hard. Gonna have to find some parts. Gotta find some low-comp 5SFE pistons, possibly rods, etc. Gotta use the correct generation 5SFE block, which is 92+ or 94+ or something like that. Water passages are different. Can't use the ST165 or any 3SG flywheel cause they're held on with 8 bolts as opposed to the 5SFE with 6... don't drill anything... Same basic process as a 3SGTE swap... you'll need a 3SGTE engine harness, all associated sensors, coil/ignitor, etc... and finally... the 5S block and crank are more than likely NOT stronger than the 3SGTE crank. Would make a pretty mean torque engine...
