arp bolts - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I have been trying to get some info from ARP, but with no reply (probably because of SEMA).
I am trying to find out if the 3sgte flywheel bolts, and main studs will work on a 5sfe. I am building the 5sgte using the 5s block, and crank, using 3sgte rods with the crank machined to fit, and the JE pistons for the 5sgte. I know the head studs will work, and would like to use the main studs and flywheel bolts also. Somebody let me know.

The 3s and 5s do have a different bolt pattern but I would say that the bolts would work. If you are interested, a lightened flywheel by Fidenza or other would fit both patterns which is not a concern here but, whatever. I can not help you with the main bolts except to say that they are likely to be the same thread count and bolt diameter. The length could be diff between the two. May I ask why you would machine the 5s crank instead of getting custom rods? From what I have read the 5s crank is actually stronger than the 3s. Seems like a bad idea to weaken it. Were you planning on using the 3sgte head?

and why would you use 3S flywheel bolts?

sup myfreecamry, quick ? for ya you say you're using the 3sgte rods, are you using stock or aftermarket because, if I'm not mistaken the 3sgte connecting rods are shorter than that of a 5sfe, might want to look into that to be sure, have you also looked into forged 5s rod? alot of mr2 guys use them when they stroke the 3sgte

RichieRichJP · 11-25-2008, 03:46 PM

Er yeah, the 3S stroke is shorter than the 5SFE so if you bought 3S spec rods...well, have fun selling your them!

MyFreeCamry · 11-25-2008, 05:30 PM

I have 3sgte rods because I am building a 5SGTE.

RichieRichJP · 11-25-2008, 06:21 PM

Then you're going to have a destroked 5sgte

HOW???? Block deck height at 0, JE pistons with the wrist pin hole located different and 3sgte rods which are not much shorter than the 5s. I wont have a destroked stroker motor. LOL

RichieRichJP · 11-25-2008, 07:07 PM

Oh I thought you were going with Stock 3S specs. If it were the case it would be destroked.

taibones · 12-21-2008, 10:11 AM

a destroked engine would be when u use a 3s crank in a 5s block not just using rods from 3s and the 3s rods are shorter but not by much u can use 3s rods just have ur block or head decked
