I know this is probably a noob question but is it feasible do an AWD conversion for the 5sfe engine? if it is, what would I need?
AWD Conversion - 6G Celicas Forums
You can do a awd swap on a 5sfe but it won't be cheap an the 5s is too under powered to move it around after your done

Don't forget to mention that you need to trim the back side of the block so that the transmission will fit

It may be doable

Learned a lot in 10 years...I hardly log in anymore, last loginToday Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOLIf you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in2grfe Swapped...Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.@llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore.
I had an AWD 5sfe for a while. It was kinda slow. I have a 3sge now, it's still slow.

Haha I think most things would be considered slow in comparison to that beast of an rx7 czwalga!

Thanks for the input guys. aside from the awd tranny, any advice on beefin up the 5sfe? is there a peak hp you can get out of it? I've never done a swap before, this is kinda my first real project. Not sure which route I wanna take, just want it faster than what it is

The general consensus is if you want extra power go for an engine swap; 3SGTE / V6 (like 1MZ-FE) / BEAMS 3SGE red top. The latter being awesome but quite expensive for the power you will make. The most tunable for more power will probably be the 3rd gen 3sgte with the V6 being the 'in thing' at the moment for guys in the states looking for a cheaper swap.
Obviously there are exceptions for all of that depending on your skills and the amount of money you have though.
If you want to stick with the 5S for a while focus on handling rather than power. You can do intake and exhaust and stuff too if you want, but they are really just for sound, not performance.

True haha. But really its the gearing of the GT4 transmission that ruins it. The gearing is terrible for a high revving engine.

If this is your first real project AWD is not the way to go. It can be done cheaply, despite what people think, but if you can't do it all yourself its going to be a major headache.

if you are going to spend the money to beef up the 5S-FE...just get a 3S-GTE
