1G engine flip?????

[Inprogress]

I am asking here just to be safe. I am interested in converting my awd in to rwd. I have seen it done, and understand the complications involved. Just wondering if there are any (kits) to help with the installation? I do mean turnning the engine 90 deg.

Buy a starion and just put your 4g63 in that, it would be alot easier.

Not looking for easy. Looking for a unique street car..

Its not really unique....

Put the engine in a diff car...Like a geo metro...That would be unique..

Buschur racing sells some rwd conversion parts. I am not sure if they are just for a 2g though. I never really took too much interest in the idea, I love AWD. I'm sure drifting a laser would definately turn a few heads though!

Magnus sells some stuff to go rwd.....but Buschur has done it the most as far as I know. Next season our tube chassis car (which is now a Toyota) will have 4G63 power, and most likely I will be using Magnus manifolds all the way around, with some slight modifications. The car will be a "Colt" next season.

You will have to email RMR (Rhys Millen Racing), he is the guy to talk to about making your AWD a RWD with minimal work. They sell a differential to run just the rear wheels, I was looking into it to make a spare 90 GSX I had into a drift car. Email or call them and see what they can do, if they can do a(n) EVO for the F&F3 it wouldn't be hard for them to do a DSM. Just give it a shot, it was what I was looking into doing and all it would require from what I understand is a differential.

Move the whole front end amidships. Make a mid-engine out of it. There's your unique. Or re-do the twin engine.
