mobius Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 been wondering this myself would be a good project but don't know what handelling would be like. I know that some Aristos had 4WD option so been done so to speak with a 2jz-ge engine suppose could get one of these systems to see if it would work or transplant celica GT4 engine and drivetrain in.

j_jza80 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 One of the best things about the Supra is the RWD, there's plenty of 4wd cars around for you guys who can't drive. (says while looking at Quattro Audi S2 on driveway... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 i think a 80-20 split would be good, allowing for `some` slip but giving a bit of extra traction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Interesting. Was the celica gt4 engine and box any good. What bph did it have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 255hp. seen loads with more power, but think the box is only good for 350-400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobius Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 the celica engine or derivatives were used in the JGTC supras. From wikipedia JGTC/Super GT Since first appearing in 1995, Toyota has raced the JZA80 Supra as a GT500 race car in the JGTC series. Beginning with a four cylinder 2.1-liter turbocharged 4T-GTE mounted onto a stock bodyshell with wide arch body kit and spoiler.[18] Over the years, as demands for expensive GT1 race specials became common, the JGTC regulation drifted away from FIA rules, as a result, the Supra has progressively underwent numerous changes over the years,[19] most noticeable, the numerous body changes and by the late 1990s, the Supra used a developed version of the 3SG,[20] which was developed from the IMSA engine and similar to the 3SGTE engine found Toyota Corolla WRC car.[21] By the early 2000s, for the benefit of torque, the Supra moved on to 3UZ-FE V8 engine. Altogether, the Supra has taken the title four times in 1997, 2001, 2002 and 2005. Despite being out of production since 2002, factory teams continued to use JZA80 Supras with continues successes. The car's swansong competitive year was in 2006, when it was used by Toyota Team Tsuchiya and Toyota Team SARD,[22] since then, the Supra has since being replaced by the Lexus SC link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Supra_in_motorsport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
