RWD Celica, Swapping Supra drivetrain into Celica Options

[darksecret]

I know some might flame me for this but I was doing some research and the Supra is almost the same size as the Celica, wheelbase is only around 23mm apart and the width hopfully rotor to rotor (still need to get exact measurement) is only 98mm apart. the width wont be much of a problem due to the flare on the rear fenders and length can be overcome by a custom bellhousing that will be required. I got the idea from the Top Secret Supra. I know the Getrag will be a tight fit but it might be possible to do this without cutting the firewall. I'm know most of the parts I need and I know how RWD vehicles are set up so that is covered, I also have a live in welder (uncle) so fab work isn't an issue. Some might think this is highly impractical and they're right but it's a great concept that I will pursue. I'm going to hit up Supra forums and try to get more measurements for the drivetrain, etc. If anyone that can help with research it will be appreciated. Anything will help but I could use shifter placement, 3S-GTE width pully to output shaft and Getrag input shaft length. As I pursue this project I will post what I can and if it bombs at least there will be information for any other brave soul that wants to take this on.

i guess it just depends on how much work you want to put into it, but couldn't you build the alltrac tranny to handle the power, and save yourself a lot more headache, because almost everything would just bolt up

If you don't know how it's done... don't bring it up. Converting an AWD tranny to RWD is not easy and requires a completely custom differential when dealing with transaxles. Might as well build a new tranny while you're at it.

Also... don't even say "bolt up". Bolting up is EASY... getting things to work is HARD. Sh!t... a 3SGTE "bolts up"... but only a VERY small percentage of Celica owners have done the swap. The 4AGE 20V "bolts up"... but only 2 people in the United States has ever swapped the motor into a 6th gen Celica.

I say again... if you don't know what you're talking about... don't bother trying to pass advice from wherever you heard it or read it from.
