gold28 Forums Junkie Location: Madrid - Spain Registered: August 2002	Re: rwd to 4wd ra2x conversion Fri, 07 March 2003 02:29 Rather than knocking the suggestion (anyone can do that) the real test is can it be done on less than the HRT's budget. My thinking and this is purely on the surface is yes it could. It would require some pretty trick engineering but it could be done. The biggest problem is the shape of the celica. It is too narrow to fit an east west engine without a lot of modificationin the engine bay. An independent diff would be located somewhere towards the engine sump. I guess that could be solved if you wanted to use a smaller 4 banger such as a 4A-G. No chance with a six unless you want to go sports sedan style and stick it in the passengers seat. The WRX engine is out of the question unless you want it sticking out past the grill. Look at most of the off road 4bies. They manage a North South engine and a diff in there somewhere. Most of them even use a live diff up there. You could just about stick in a 4WD Hilux drivetrain. Front diff location may require some moving though. I reckon putting a transfer case behind the celica/supra gearbox and using a 4A-G or even a 3S with the sump buldge at the back and an independent front end with the diff off to the passengers side. You would need a drive shaft / axle going under the front of the sump. Front suspension would need to be robbed from say a late model celica. Steering rack might have to go in front of the diff. No real drama there though. Anyone keen to give it a try????? [Report message to a moderator]
