Application and Fitment:
- Toyota 3S-GTE - Celica All-Trac/GT-Four (ST165, ST185, ST205), MR2 Turbo (SW20), Caldina (ST215, ST246) - Primary application
- Toyota 3S-GE (BEAMS) - Altezza (SXE10), Celica (ST202), MR2 (SW20) - Direct cross-reference; shares 3S-GTE flywheel thread specs
- Toyota 5S-FE - Camry, Celica, MR2 (naturally aspirated) - Also used in 5S block / 3S head builds
- Toyota 1FZ-FE - Land Cruiser (FZJ70, FZJ80, FZJ100/105) - REQUIRES 2 KITS (12 bolts total)
- Note: Verify your engine configuration before ordering
IMPORTANT - 1FZ-FE Land Cruiser Owners:
The 1FZ-FE is a 6-cylinder engine requiring 12 flywheel bolts. Since the ARP 203-2801 kit contains only 8 bolts, you must purchase two kits to complete the job. Do not attempt to install with fewer bolts than required - proper flywheel clamping requires all bolt positions to be filled and torqued correctly.
What's Included:
- ARP flywheel bolts (8 bolts per kit)
- ARP assembly lubricant
- Installation instructions
- Note: 1FZ-FE Land Cruiser owners require 2 kits (12 bolts total)
Installation Notes:
- Professional installation recommended
- Remove transmission and clutch to access flywheel
- Clean crankshaft flange and flywheel mating surfaces thoroughly
- Apply ARP assembly lubricant to bolt threads and under bolt heads
- Install flywheel and hand-tighten bolts
- Torque bolts in star pattern to ARP specifications
- Do not use OEM torque specs - use ARP recommended torque
- Reinstall clutch and transmission
8740 Chrome Moly Pro Series:
ARP's Pro Series bolts are manufactured from 8740 chrome moly steel, heat-treated to achieve 200,000 psi tensile strength. This is significantly stronger than OEM flywheel bolts, providing a substantial safety margin for high-performance applications. The 8740 chrome moly alloy provides excellent fatigue resistance, which is critical for flywheel bolts that experience repeated loading and unloading cycles with every clutch engagement.
12-Point Head Design:
The 12-point head style provides better tool engagement compared to standard hex (6-point) bolts. The 12-point design allows the socket to engage at more positions, reducing the chance of rounding and allowing more accurate torque application. The 3/4" socket size is standard and compatible with most torque wrenches.
3S-GTE Primary Application:
The 3S-GTE turbocharged engine, used in the Celica All-Trac/GT-Four (ST165, ST185, ST205), MR2 Turbo (SW20), and Caldina (ST215, ST246), is the primary catalog application for this ARP kit. The 3S-GTE's turbocharged power output and motorsport heritage make ARP flywheel bolts an essential upgrade for any clutch installation.
BEAMS 3S-GE Application:
The BEAMS 3S-GE, found in the Toyota Altezza (SXE10), Celica (ST202), and MR2 (SW20), shares flywheel thread specifications with the 3S-GTE, making this ARP kit a direct fit. The BEAMS engine's high-revving naturally aspirated character and popularity in performance builds make ARP flywheel bolts a worthwhile upgrade.
5S-FE Application:
The 5S-FE naturally aspirated engine, found in the Camry, Celica, and MR2, is also compatible with this ARP kit. The 5S-FE is particularly relevant for builds using a 5S block with a 3S head, where the shared flywheel bolt specifications make this kit the correct choice.
1FZ-FE Application (Land Cruiser - Order 2 Kits):
The 1FZ-FE 4.5L inline-6, found in the Land Cruiser (FZJ70, FZJ80, FZJ100/105), is compatible with this ARP kit but requires two kits due to its 12-bolt flywheel pattern. Always purchase two kits for 1FZ-FE applications to ensure all 12 bolt positions are filled and properly torqued.
