Crank In 5sfe

**dwfronk** · 08-19-2007, 12:55 PM

Ok i am rebuilding my entire motor on a limited budget. and i was wondering if i should knife edge the stock crank or if i should just go for and after market forged one? If i should get a forged one where can i find one?

Oh nice but i dont see why you need a forged one....i dont think you can find one expecailly for this car...this is what i did for my car....i also rebuilt my engine. i did the work to it too... and i spent about a good 1100 for it... now just imagine when someone else is doing the work for you. when i first changed my engine i changed the 5sfe engine to a 3sfe. in other words i went from a 2.2 to a 2.0. why because all the pistons and rods and crank was forged. for some reason doing that my car is much better and faster too... finding that engine was a little hard tho, i live in south texas, i drove to get this engine in houston. now im trying to find a low boost turbo for the engine and other works for it...but not spending too much money on it... i want an all-track instead....FWD is not that great...fun to drive but racing it gets alot of laughs...lol

Since you're on buget, just reuse the crank.

You wont break that crank, ever.
people use the stock 5sfe crank in high hp 3sgte rebuilds, so they've been put to the test already.
