5sgte rwd conversion Options

[toy8490]

well i've started what most people dont have time for. I'm in the middle of building my 5sgte and Rwd conversion,
I have a couple pictures to start with. If you have any question, just ask.









I'm using a 88 toyota truck rear end 2wd. This rear end is harder to find, because it uses the 8 inch center section. And that comes with 30 spline axles. I'm not using the third member. I went with a toyota v-6 4x4 3rd member, that will allow you to buy a supra lsd that will bolt into the v-6 housing. I'm going to be using the stock v-6 gears that comes with 4.10 gears, It may be a little high, but i'll run those for a little bit. Also when i have the lsd out, i'm install a WEIR MAXGRIP LSD Kits
It increases the locking force of the clutches. So i'll be posting pictures as i go.

When I first saw the thread I assumed that this would be another thread asking how would make the Celica RWD. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the pictures of the engine & trans mounted already. I love it. I can't wait to see the finished results. You are making excellent progress, it's only been 6 months. I wish I could say the same for my 3Sgte swap, it's been a couple years since I started. Life gets in the way of your projects sometimes.

What engine management are you going to be using?
Did you get a custom length drive shaft or where you able to find something that fit?
Did you need to modify the fuel tank to fit that rear diff?

I'm using the 4th gen factory computer

When I bought my Toyota pickup 2wd transmission v-6,, it came with the driveline, I had it measured then had it made,
It bolts right up to the pickup rear end that I used.

I had to remove my fuel tank, so that I could use that space for the suspension,,

I remove the spar tire, and cut part of the trunk for a nice square fuel cell , then mounted it . fits perfect,

If you guys have any question I can answer them, and again, i'll be posting some more pictures,,,

It is up and running, I've already competed in a very short 330 ft drag race, and a drift event..
After doing these, I have found that my posi needed to be tighter. I'm going to order the max grip kit online.
