please don't put on a GT-Four emblem, it's just not right.
Your car is not a GT-Four, it does not have 4 wheel drive.

Well thats your opinion batman.. you go by yours.. I go by mine.. Im doing a complete celica GT4 project.. so when its its all said and done ill have the AWD drive conversion also.. thus the reason for the badge. Im not doing an "GT-2" project.. I want that AWD power.. or else i would have looked for that badge .. thanks for your opinion though

>what do you mean the rear end is 90% complete?

just as far as making the rear look like an celica gt4... i put on the raiser blocks and put an gt4 emblem on.. i wanna put on an rear spoiler too sometime.. so besides that i think its done.. thats why i said its 90% done

LOL o0o0o0o ok I thought you were talking about putting in a rear for the purpose of AWD. LOLOLOLOL fair enough, looking good man.

lol naw man thats too extreme for an AWD conversion haha.. but i do know someone thats cutting their whole frint end in half and welding in an 3sgte front nose.. lololololol crzy but he insists.. but yea hopefully when this 1st stage is done ill save up for that AWD drive conversion.. i think it may cost more than the swap though.. on ebay this guy was selling the st205 diffs, subframe, and axels for like $2500.. so put that with the price of installation.. eek imma need at least $5000 saved up lol.. and thanks 4 the complement man i appreciate it..

if you do have AWD I would agree you should have that emblem on your car.

Since you don't have AWD "yet" why not just wait put the emblem on when it's completed, or just keep it on and be a ricer, it's up to you.

everyone who owns a GT has a GT-2 (GT with 2 wheel drive), you just have a GT with a st205 motor in it, ...almost. Do you have the GT-Four brakes ? or maybe the GT-Four gas tank/rear floor/SS suspension/ect.. or just a US GT with a st205 motor in it ?...almost

just be realistic about it and just don't badge it a "GT-Four" when it's nowhere close to being one. That's ghey.

I see another robdrummer in the making...

Im really getting more and more interest into just turboing my 5sfe engine, i was checking out some turbo kits on ebay for an 5sfe engine.. and 1 guy is selling an rebuilt turbo kit taken out from his 5sfe engine for only 200 bucks plus 60 shipping.. so im just wondering if this is a good idea, not in terms of buying his rebuilt engine.. but turboing my engine period. I mean i still want an Gt4, but im thinking maybe ill hold that off till i graduate and just buy another GT and dp the swap.. b/c i really love celicas ... and I also think I can do it myself!!!

heres the link to the turbo kit taken from an 5sfe engine:

i may.. all i need to get will after that will b the fuel pump, clutch, and the intercooler.. the seller is saying to get the side mount intercooler, they cost more but they look easier to install rather than the rear mount or top mount

lmao art

and you said "awd power" before...

from all of my experiances, awd actually takes away from your power. not to mention all tha trotating mass and weight to lug around at speeds above 40mph when traction is no longer an issue.

i sure hope you dont boost the **** outta that 3s and end up sending something through the hood of your car. would be sad to see such a good engine go to waste

and x2 on that rob drummer comment lol

I didn't check the link but alot of these "Turbo Kits" come from the MR2 guys - this is probably why he told you to get a sidemount intercooler. You want a FMIC for this project - it works well and is sort of an install it and forget about it thing.

Bro, really... wtf is a rear mount intercooler?
Its really clear that you have done zero research into this as you dont even understand the basics.
Save yourself a headache and a blown motor. You are nowhere near ready to do a swap or a turbo kit.
And I mean this in the nicest way possible.

I can't agree more with Lagos,

and yes it is a legit turbo kit. basic bolt on, perfect project for winter to break, get some friends that are into cars, just like you and give it a shot. this will be an experience you'll never forget, and you'll learn a lot.


Good luck and keep us posted, take a lot pf pictures and post any questions, we are here to help.

It's an MR2 thing - applied to a Celica it would be rediculous to the extreme.
