Can you convert a 1G FWD carr to a AWD car?
What would be needed to do so if it was possible? |

Shouldn't need an ECU. I can run my Laser in blow through set-up on the translator without an UICP at all. Basicly makes it into an N/A car that way if that makes sense. As long as the engine is getting the air the MAS is metering it should be fine.
You should be able to use the existing intake manifold. Just run a pipe from the throttle body elbow to the MAS. Up near the finder should give you a little colder air. The downside will be running a normally aspirated 7.8:1 compression ratio though. Can he swap in a N/T engine into the AWD chassis? Or even better rebuild with some high compression pistons. I do have a stock N/T ex-man/header around here somewhere if it helps as well. Has he considered other options here as well like the Galant GSX (not GVR4) or one of the AWD non-turbo Subuaru options? -------------------- |
