...just see this page what should be done with 7th gen celica and some 6gen GT-four parts for inspiration

result: 7th gen CELICA, 4 WHEEL DRIVE, 3SGTE ENGINE...

I believe that problem can be solved by using one off of a RAV4.

OMG i must meet you someday....

you have made this post soooo much better and proved a blatant point about certain people and issues here!



this is a very possible swap....its been done multiple times....

it requires RESEARCH, KNOWLEDGE, PRECISION and EXPERIENCE

or

a SH1T load of money to pay someone to do it

hmmm, with the fact being that there are a few 6th gens running around with this swap done, im surprised that ppl, still bring up the money vs skill issue....i just think that if there is a wil there is a way, and that the hardest part thus far is sourceing the parts to do it, and the ignorance of not knowing what formula of mix and match( of celica/toyota tranny's, diffs, suspension etc.) we need to make it work....plain and simple, ppl have done it, hardest part was sourcing the parts.....hey goferris, find a reliable supplier of the parts, learn to weld or find agood welder and tell s how it goes 6 months down the road, and good luck bro ^_^

Wonder how much would it cost to put 6gc body on 5gc full frame (5gc interior engine suspension drivetrain etc)

more cost efficient/safe... or brainfart idea ?

considering the celica is a UNIBODY design.....
brainfart idea for you +1

Oohh.. well i believe this topic took a turn for the worst...
I plead the 5th..

But to the topic at hand, go for the AWD conversion..
I just hope your pockets are DEEEEEEEEP... i mean like
OCEAN deep...

Either that or you have a good paying job and you live with your mom....

yeah no joke. i have decided that i am just too poor to ever be able to afford this mod.it would definitely be cool.
someone was saying that it isn't possible to ship the gtfour over here. why not? they ship r34 skylines over all the time. (well i guess not all the time but you get the point.) what difference would it be to ship a gt four? i suppose this might need to be in a different thread. not that i will ever be able to afford it but just curious. thanks far all the input that you have all provided

have you ever priced an r34? A lot of that cost is getting it street legal over here.

it's not possible because the gt4 hasn't been through the crash testing procedures like the skyline has. motorex spent a heckuva lot of money enabling the skyline to be imported, and those that are, have to have a lot of work done to make them legal.

i'm with lagos. it's not being negative... most AWD conversions to cars that are not naturally AWD are done for rally racing, and they're constantly reinforcing/rebuilding the car. it's just not a feasible thing for a street car. even a "track car" for mot people here, wouldn't work, because most people drive their track cars a fair bit on the street. a true track car, that you NEVER drove on the street, and made any repairs, reinforcements or adjustments to EVERY time before you trailered it to the track, sure, that would be feasible.

you're basically making swiss cheese out of a pretty un-reinforced chassis to begin with. the gt4 6gen chass is totally different.

IIRC the Rav4 transfer case won't bolt to the E150/51 trans.

Man this topic got heated Real fast!



but reading through it i didnt see any part where lagos said it could not be done, just that its VERY difficult. Dont know what all the shouting is about.



But as for the awd deal... looks like it comes down to money or skill. If you have the skill, give it a try. Or if you have the $, hire a bad a ss shop to do it for you. Looks like fensports got one under their belt



good luck to all who attempt this in the future!

i was thinkiing about this, and honestly with the drivetrain, suspension, and such of a gt4 you can most likely do this. i will most likely fing a 6gc with a blown motor/tranny as a shell for this project.
