i wanted the same at one point, but take into consideration that SV21's were built as FWD, there are no provisions for a drive train, diff or rear axle. that would require some MAJOR mods.
if all you want is the celica 3S-GTE then i wouldnt really know, but i think getting the non turbo 3S-GE and slapping the turbo of your choice on it would be a better plan.

You could get the 3sgte and only set it up for fwd since it's a 4wd thing, just leave off the rear drive axle. That's how I see it anyway. 
How about a 4agze from an MR2? Those are rearmount/reardrive, thus, engine straight to axle, setups.
Or how about the v6 from the camry, with a HKS supercharger kit?

well i have seen the conversion done it is possible and not too hard from what i have heard but i need more details and as the camry of that model was realeasded as a 4wd in other countries and also shares a floorplan with the celica it shouldnt be too hard just time mainly anyways thought someone on here might have heard of the conversion it has done in nsw and quicfit motorsprt did the wiring for the car but thats as much info as i have found

OK then, why is it that I keep asking questions on this forum about my own car yet I get very few replies? dunno...
AWD is possible but you have to fabricate rear suspension crossmember unless you wanna drag over all the gear from a celica and make that fit, or import CAMRY ALLTRAC gear. I guess that the 3s-gte out of a celica should sit on the same mounts as camry but my 3s-fe mounts had to be modified to make my mr2 3s-ge sit properly in the bay. Your camry gearbox should bolt up to the block no worries (my 5 spd did, i guess your auto should) i wouldn't know if the celica GT4 gearbox share the same positioning as camry box mounts in relation to the engine bay. I would happen to agree with wizzfizz on saying leave it fwd. Upgrade to a -ge then boost it later, thats what i'm considering (sc14 from a 1g or a ct28? turbocharger)
Anyhow, I'm one of a few people who have messed around with an sv21, if you want to know of any issues I encountered I'd be more than happy to let you know about this conversion. Just remember though, nothing is ever a simple swap over, you're gunna come across alot of the little unexpected things that'll drive you nuts.
