Putting a 3S-GTE into 7th Gen...its been done b4. It was BADASS...

Now converting to an AWD? I dont even think that would be even worth doing. Dont blow your money. if you want an All-Trac, buy one. But if your intent on doing this, do it. Would get tons of attention.

If you can get a V8 into a 5th Gen, then it may be possible to do this. But i hope you have a lot of money that you dont mind going into the car...

Good Luck

20k+, don't be stupid, buy a supra or something if you have that kind of money or import a 6th gen GT4. Also, how exactly do you propose using the alltrac's tranny to get AWD, and then using the GTS's tranny to get the extra gear?

As for V8s and stuff in 5th gens, check out the cardomain's celica pages.

not really, not when you can get one with AWD and then pimp it out/speed it up. I assume you're refering to the Turbonetics swapped 7th gen 3sgte?

yup, no K smile

3s has been done before. took lots of time and money. with enough trial and error you could get the AWD to work correctly.

you'll need...

1) a grip of money/time
2) second car to ues as daily driver, your celica will be down most of the time you own it.

well technically i heard that the 5th and 6th gen chassis layout is actually the same. so if nothing has changed for the 7th gen is should be the same demensions. now the motor swap thats the easy part. the awd conversion thats gonna take about 1 year with all the trial and errors youll have.

one main thing to look at is if you use the 6th gen gt4 drive train layout see if you can get a under picture of the car, and compare it with the 7th gen. im sure the first things that will need to be changed/cut will be the fuel box and the exahust path. also on the 7th gens there isnt really much room for the rear diff so there will be some cutting that youll need to do there too.

also the width of the 5th and 6th gen all trac is probably gonna be a little wider then the 7th gen so thats more cutting youll need to do to the body.

also the 6th gear wont really do shit for you. sure you have six gears but is it geared properly for you to take advantage of it. the 3s doesnt rev as high as the 2zz or 1zz so itll be a bigger waste of money to even try the 6 gear way. adding another gear wont make the car faster. you'll be doing 75 in 6th the freaking car will stall.

all in all itll be a ton of work and ill admit itll be a one of a kind car if your ever done but its a commitment youll have to make.

that car was $1,000,000 to build.

Why not just buy a ferrari that will own that all day confused
