Celica FWD to AWD on E85

Bro just want to say this is the cleanest one I’ve seen!

Rad af! Wish it showed what you did to make it awd

[@speedwiz6041]

Really nice Celica!

Very clean

[@benxiong_]

Never knew you can make a Celica this clean sheesh

Did you get the AWD from a gt4? And how much did it cost to convert it?

1:47... uhhhh

[@BC-tn5ss]

So what happen was

[@syhawa627]

I wanted to do something like this with my 95 gt. But it’s hard finding the rear assembly. Wondering if a rear end from aristo could work🤔

[@Iamkoool2]

Aristos weren’t awd tho

[@thegamingnerfer1498]

Iamkoool2 aristos are rwd and all he needed was the back end assembly

Correct me if I’m wrong, but you could use an altezza rear end as well…

super clean

Beautiful, hope to do that one day.

[@concretepie9523]

I have two questions: where can I get a harness bar like yours and did you have to cut the trunk to fit the rear subframe and diff?

[@Spencer_R1]

Kent Barnes is the man

[@teamneverlost]

Hey bro just out of interest how did you sort the tunnel for the centre driveshaft? Did you have to cut and fab a new one along the centre of the floorpan. Loved GT4's since a kid, my current one an ST165 Group A.

[@jdmscene6thgencelica390]

Nope didn’t have too - just made brackets to mount it so it would hold in place in two areas

[@negativeindustrial]

The tunnel has always been there, even on the cars with an A-Series engine. The gas tank is the hardest part of the job.

[@denzilgounden5188]

Hi, nice job...how did you mount the rear suspension and diff? Did you have to replace the rear floor?

[@robertoarizon8394]

Yea I'd like to know how and what you did to the chasis? What did you run into? I would like to do something like this to my 95 celica

[@The4Castles]

Can you please share info about your interior

[@yaserabouagena1029]

So impressive, question? What parts u need for all wd conversion and approximate $$ Thanks

[@jdmscene6thgencelica390]

Rear GT4 suspension - driveshaft. Parts alone was about $3500

[@thegamingnerfer1498]

To just get power to the back what all did you need to do

[@jdmscene6thgencelica390]

Acquired the rear driveshaft and suspension components from the GT4 and mount where needed after relocating gas tank to fuel cell in trunk.

[@cantaso4291]

I’m doing the same conversion and I was wondering if you are using the super strut set up in the front also where did you get the fuel tank from?

[@jdmscene6thgencelica390]

Cantaso the front is still USMD. Suspension components. Fuel cell is from fuel safe purchased directly from their website.

[@cantaso4291]

Scott Nguyen well done that cat looks good I still have a lot of work ahead of me I purchased a clip from a Celica WRC GT4 that comes 265hp complete back in 2012 I did the engine swap and now I’m doing the rear end so I ran across yours and looks good do you still have it?

[@jdmscene6thgencelica390]

Cantaso yep still have it and working on minor adjustable rear arms as it sits among other little upgrades. Still a money pit but I love it.

@@jdmscene6thgencelica390 does the GT4 rear subframe bolt up to the ST204? Please help.

[@jdmscene6thgencelica390]

@@Just_Space_Dave does not. You have to measure / align and drill holes to mount the rear AWD components

How much did the conversion cost please!!?

ayo ik this video is old and idk if you already know this, but that Japanese logo is the symbol for the empire of japan, and is a bit like how we westerners view the swastika. To Japanese people that logo is incredibly offensive. just a heads up

[@JoseSantos-ys3rj]

was this "easy"?

[@silverrain99205]

Looks like you wanted a Supra and couldn't afford it.

[@jdmscene6thgencelica390]

Yeah no. I wanted a real GT4 but at the time it wasn’t yet able to import so had to do the conversion. Celica is the Supra’s little brother and the GT4 is even more rare in the states.

[@bishieboi9586]

What does a awd Rally car have to do with a boat like a supra lol

[@Fuffcat]

so the takeaway here is... spend more than R32 GTR money to make 250whp on 4 wheels on full time bind-up. got it. Joking aside, all those money spent on mods, nothing short of 350whp + on pump shoulda been achieved. more on E85. otherwise, what's the point on all that extra auxiliary fuel stuff? 300whp can be reached on mostly stock stuff with your average bigger turbine, standalone and fuel system, why go SO far.. for 250?

[@jdmscene6thgencelica390]

Ikura Burst - definitely capable of more HP but on stock internals any more than 350 crank is risking it. I do have spare engine that is being modded to 5SGTE and that should be about 600 HP hopefully. Definitely cost a lot but it’s a hobby.

[@maccadan90]

The CT20 turbo is the culprit. They're simply too outdated in compressor design. 20-30 years is a very long time in turbo technology, it's just not going to flow like a new turbo would

[@longsleevethong1457]

Full time Bind up? How so??

[@Fuffcat]

@Long sleeve thong 4wd cars (Evo, Celica gtfour, Subaru WRX) all utilize a bastardised version of what jeeps have. Instead of being locked on hi or lo to remove the drive train bind at higher speeds, they all utilize something called a viscous coupling. It allows a degree of slippage from front/rear torque rather than doing it manually through a lever- a happy medium that allows it to be streetable. The big flaw in this is that it is JUST a happy medium. All wheels are always interlocked to the same degree that they are always allowed to slip. Meaning that torque and power will always be pushing against the forces of front and back drivetrain at all times. Coming in great handy in low traction situations, but also being parasitically lost to heat when undesired. They offer no break. With that said, your final drive ratio entirely depends on BOTH differentials ratios, forcing the car to slow to the shortest ratio (they are usually matched up from factory anyways, and usually are set fairly short since 4wd needs all the torque it can get to overcome trying to spin front and back all the time with a 2 liter engine) This is where Audi's Quatrro, Hondas SH-AWD, and Nissans ATTESSA come in. They actually TURN OFF the FWD/RWD part of the equation when not needed to allow the drive train to freespin with as minimal drag as possible. This allows a higher top speed potential when going for straight or better fuel efficiency when cruising. And then allowing the benefits of 4wd when FWD/RWD by itself gets a loss of traction.

[@longsleevethong1457]

@@Fuffcat ahhh yeah that’s what makes Audis Quattro so good. I figured that’s what you were talking about. All my 4wd vehicles have had a slight binding issue at some point.
