Celica GT/GT-Four questions Options

I have no one else to ask who may or may not know this and I am curious....


Ok here it goes. I have seen a few AWD cars turn into RWD cars, or more power put into the rear than the front. How is this done and is it possible for people to do this to the AWD GT-Four? Secondly, I was curious, and this goes for you all out there who have swapped, with some cars that have a swapped engine, I have been told that the gauges need to be changed over too, if the car is capable of reaching higher rpms. So when you swap from a 5sfe to a 3sgte, do you have to change your gauges? And if not then, what about when you stroke the engine to 2.2L? Because I am not sure on the conversion, but I think the GT-Fours redline a bit past where a GT would normally redline, and yet the Km/H seem either equal or less to a stock US GT Celica on max mph on the gauge. Any knowledge to be shed would be appreciated.

um hey random stranger. when we go to the meet next saturday. Just take a look at urbandork's celi. he has the original spedometer with the gt-4 rpm gauge on his 3sgte swapped celica. Didnt ask him exactly how it works. but i will when the meet comes around

yes they have a 2.2 stroker kit for the 3sgte. I believe that is what tufy has on his gt-4 but im not sure?? the kit on some website costs like $3,000. or you can just make your own somehow someway.

edit: ya i think it was 3k i forgot though, whats the name of that japanese website that sells cusco and jspeed 3 point strut bars??

$3k? Where? All the ones I have seen are for $6k. I think I may have seen some that were $3k and the same exact thing just without the rods, and I wanted HKS ones, but I guess they don't make those anymore so I have to go with Jun. I am really really planning on going for the swap in December.
