I will soon be converting my celica GT to a GT-4. It is a 95 GTConvertible w/ a 5sfe (2.2L) engine. The 5sfe doesn't offer as muchpower as I need. I'm trying to find a 3sgte (2.0L turbo), AWD tranny,and the AWD drivetrain to drop into mine. I know that the 3sgte enginelines up with the existing engine mounts in my car, and so do thetransmission mounts. What I do not know is if I can slap the rest ofthe AWD drivetrain from a GT-4 onto my car and everything fits asperfectly as the factory produced GT-4. I know that anything can bemade to fit though. I have run into some problems in doing this, theholes in the firewall for the GT-4 are on the opposite side of thefirewall of the GT. This can easily be fixed by replacing the wiringand wiring harnesses with aftermarket harnesses that usually come alongwith an aftermarket CPU. I have figured up the approximate price to besomewhere in the neighborhood of $4G if i do the work myself. Also,does anyone know anything about dropping the V6 out of a camry into thecelica? I know the engine mounts line up on it also. If anyone elseknows of any other complications I can run into please let meknow...below is a list of things I am looking for and please respond ifyou see that I have left out anything essential. It may be cheaper toorder stuff directly from japan considering i'm in hawaii, but whateverworks...but i don't speak japanese :(-GT-4 front bumper and/or hood(needed asap)-standalone engine management system w/ wiring harnesses-3sgte engine even if it has to be rebuilt-3sgte tranny (preferrably aftermarket)-3sgte drivetrain-performance engine parts: --performance rods and pistons --injectors (about 750cc)i heard supra injectors will work --racing cams & camshafts-header-and the 3sgte or GT-4 lettering to replace the GT letters on the trunkI feel like I'm forgetting something.~Jay
