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

QUOTE (gsxracer80 @ Mar 5 2004, 04:42 PM) someone asked me last night if it would be fairly hard to yank the turbo off of a AWD DSM and set it up with the N/A manifold, downpipe, ect... I think a few have mentioned the turbo ECU paired with the smaller non-turbo injectors. If I read the post correctly though, it is basicly along the lines of de-turboing a turbo car. Given that, the 450cc injectors will already be in place. Wouldn't the turbo ECU run them just fine? Just like reflashing our e-proms for larger injectors. Given as someone brought up the SAFC, I'd almost assume the MAFT Translator could serve the same function to lean the car out. With my recent experience completely blowing off upper intercooler pipes, I have some limited experience running a de-turboed car.  I'd expect him to be able to swap out the exhaust manifold and removed all the asssociated turbo and plumbing and then run what would be the equivalent of a blow through set-up on our cars (would end up being draw through once the car was deturboed). -------------------- |
