\"AWD<\/a><\/p>\n

Ryan Tuerck’s<\/a> “GT411” project started as a 1994 Toyota Celica GT with a 2.2 L 5S-FE inline-four and FWD drivetrain. Ryan and his team swapped a turbocharged 1.6 L G16E<\/a> inline-three typically found in a GR Corolla or GR Yaris. Precision Balancing & Machine<\/a> rebuilt the motor<\/a> with Nitto forged pistons and rods, Kelford Stage 2 camshafts, Supertech valvetrain, Garrett G30-770<\/a> turbocharger, and custom exhaust header by Victor Teixeira<\/a>. The motor is capable of 500 hp (367 kW) on low boost and 650 hp (478 kW) on high boost. Ryan paired the motor with an AWD drivetrain featuring a Holinger sequential transmission and Wavetrac differentials. You can watch the project’s full build on Ryan’s channel<\/a>. <\/p>\n
