Would the GT-4 Climate control unit fit into the USA ST Celica?

i was also lookin at this... i would see why not but im not totally positive.

[Batman722]

It would fit. Making it work is another thing...

[shid]

they're the same trim. Like batman said tho; you'd have to make it work, and the temp readings are in C

[Hanyo]

what is the econ button for?

[Silvan]

Don't really know. Why do you people have all the fun stuff?
Gonna try buying it though. Wanna see if I can make it work.

[SinisterWhisper]

if you did manage to get it to work all you would need is a new sticker to convert it over to F

[Silvan]

the switches aren't a problem, it's the temperature control that's gonna be a pain.. its electronic, ours is mechanical.

[SinisterWhisper]

me thinks you need to look at a toyota manual for a gt4 becuase something tells me this could work if you got a few other parts (and I would be interested in doing this if you figured out what all is needed)

[94silverst]

This would be such an amazing upgrade!! I would love to do it, lets get a few of us to work on it, and figure this out!

[SinisterWhisper]

well first off we would need the toyota service manuals for the gt4. second off its going to be a bear to get the parts for it seeing how the gt4 was not especialy common. Lastly were all the controls in english?

I looked into this WAY back in the day... first off, like it was already said, its electronic, not mechanical, so you need LOTS more parts than the control housing... You ned the air temp sensor control for sure, and I do have reason to believe that the A/C compressor is completely different because of the ECON mode (aka it utileses a lower power output to steal less power from the motor)... IMO this conversion isnt feasable on USDM"s... ohh and BTW, it isnt just the GT-4 setup- all celica models jdm 6th gen use auto climante except the SS-I's...

[25thcelica]

don;t out bid me please

[Silvan]

Still working on it... I am still not sure how the electronic tem control works. Most likely are servo's.
I'll come back to it.

[doGGy]

this unit is for the A/C equiped GT4 only... and all the other units on the GT4 are different (are controled by the motors, electricly)... i think it worthless mod, cuz you would have to change lots of parts to get this to work...

[25thcelica]

I want to try it just for the hell of it I don't care if it is jdm or not I just think it would be cool and I want a prroject right now so eh I will go dfor it

[FORGMANN]

hey,
i have working unit in my GT4 ... you need way more then what they include or what you can get in states ..

for all the work you have to do to make it work properly it is really not worth it ..

you also need dash sensors (jdm only ) for under steering wheel and on top of dash ..

but it is your $$$ so waste anyway
