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

Justin is right. The NA won't run correctly on the turbo ECU and turbo injectors. It will probably run, but it won't run correctly, or at least not nearly as good as it would with NA injectors and ECU. The turbo ECU is mapped differently and is calibrated for 450cc injectors. In addition to the stuff that ncgalant mentioned a turbo to NA conversion would require NA injectors, NA ECU, and NA fuel pressure regulator. There may be some other things that I'm forgetting as well.
A turbo ECU on a NA car won't work for pretty much the same reason we can't just swap in larger injectors on our turbo DSM's without some kind of MAS signal correction. |
