Hey Guys, I'm not sure if this should be in the off-topic or in engine maintenance. I started this topic in engine cause it partly related to the 6 gen celica. I've been working on a 88 celica with a 3sge engine trying to gain some experience in swapping before i do my 95 celica.

The plan was to swap out the usdm block and internals for a jdm block and its internals because the usdm crankshaft was badly damaged. During this swap I've encountered a few differences, for example the pistons are different (jdm have wedge top as where usdm have a flat top). The one difference that I'm stuck on is the flywheel. The usdm flywheel (11-1/4") is smaller than jdm flywheel (12") and the hole for mounting are slightly off. The jdm flywheel is actually a 5sfe flywheel. I know that both celica uses The S53 tranny, so is there anyway to make a hybrid flywheel? or some sort of setup that would work. * usdm starter is in a difference place compared to the 5sfe starter

I need the size of a usdm flywheel with the mounting holes of a 5sfe flywheel.
If you guys have any tips or suggestions that would be awesome, THANKS!

use the flywheel for the specific crank. you dont want sizing issues. in alot of toyota cases the flywheels are a little different but the same clutch will fit and work. as for the pistons being flat or wedged, that to change the compression
