All-trac Conversion Information!

[RedPhoenix]

You guys are saying that why create something already out there... What about a 5th Gen Convertible All-Trac... With roll cage....

[Rick89GTS]

Only problem there is that a 'vert is gonna be even heavier than a regular All-Trac.

[fibrewizard]

so if you like sticky this reply.........

i got a mate of mine atm.....

who is in the middle of a V6 twin turbo, AWD conversion in his 184/GTS

very very interesting stuff......and not really that complicated..... but this guy knows what he's doing..........

basically......

1> remove fuel tank.....as diff goes there....
2> make mounting point to chassis.
3> remove rear chassis and floor pan section....
4> bolt up diff cradle complete with diff and struts, axles etc etc......
5> re-inforce chassis....
6> weld in gt4/alltrac AWD rear floorpan.

no need for cutting or any mods to front half of the celica.... all celicas came off the same production line..... only difference between the gts and Alltrac.. is the rear floorpan....and fuel tank position.....

3sgte and gearbox bolts in..... there is already a tunnel there for the tailshaft... you will just need to move the exhaust system as it run down the tunnel.............



it is possible...... and given that the person interested has the skills to do it... or the money to throw at it.... its more then possible and has been done.... i have seen with my own eyes the process invloved......

i may decide to do this myself in coming years as i get used to the power and hunger for more traction from my V6 conversion.....but untill then it is hjust a thought........

POSSIBLE?.....YES
WORTHIT?.....Jury is still out........

You said it yourself, but there comes a point where it's just a waste of time and money to re-create what came from the factory. It's different if you're attempting something unique or a one-off, like your friend is doing.

That's why you don't see many successful conversions. Even the big talkers who swear they can do it - they never post up again and just disappear.

Throw up some pics of your friend's conversion, I'm sure everyone would like to see

and i am sure that with all the talkers that get online with big plans, dont fully research and plan any mods properly then put it in the too hard basket.....

blaccasjay.....90 model gts in cardomain.com..... he has pics on there.......both myself and him are the only ones in the world to own 3vz-fe converted 5th gen celica's........ their are 6th gens but only 2 5th gens... to my knowledge..........

and pics of my celica and v6 conversion, can be found on my imageshack.us/fibrewizard...... album............

both him and myself have video's on youtube...... search V6 celica...... there are many 6th gens on there but only mine and his are 5th gens.....

i will update my build thread when more gets done..........

[drawsemaj]

idk if anyone has sugested this but i dont have time to read threw 6 pages but if your that good of a fabricator build a 7th gen all trac that would be wicked bad a** lol i mean why build a 6th gen just get a rwd supra

[3SGTS]

AWD 7th gen sounds cool.
I have a few 1992 All Trac parts im selling here in miami; rear differential with support frame axles brakes hubs , driveshaft , gas tank

[fibrewizard]

to do a 7th gen alltrac......

just get the rav 4 runnin gear.......

they use the 2zz..... so would bolt to the 4wd tranny and fab rear diff and axles in........ that would be wicked.....

also the v6 out of the rav 4 would be a great powerplant
