FWD to AWD donor car

[southsiderida90]

I just recently got a 90 Eagle Talon TSi AWD. It has no engine but everything else is there. I am pulling the engine out of my FWD 90 GS-T. is there anything that i will be needing to change or modify. The owner said something about the flywheel, which he included anyways. is there anything else i should modify or be aware of?

you will need the awd starter plate/flywheel/and awd mounts that are bolted to the front and rear of the block and clutch pressure plate.

well the seller included the motor mounts and a clutch and flywheel. what do you mean by starter plate?

The plate that goes in between the motor / trans

so the starter plate was diff. on the fwd and awd even though they are both 6 bolt

Yep. If you didn't read the whole thread (the link I posted above), you should do that. It'll explain the different starter plates and how to figure out which one you need.

so i use the starter plate for a 2g? if not i can get a hold of the original from the seller.

Please reread the whole thread again. The answer is in there.

And if you don't want to, here is the post that tells you how to determine what starter plate you need.

that doesn't really answer my question, that is the 5th time i read that thread and nothing is really sticking out. i clicked on the link this time but the video doesnt work. can you just tell me what im gonna need .

 

[snowborder714]

You didn't need to watch the video. turbosax2 posted this right under the link to the video:

According to Jack, you match the starter plate to the bellhousing (transmission), not the block.

So you need to get a starter plate for whatever transmission you plan to use. Since your car is an 1g AWD, that is the starter plate you will need. You also need to make sure you have a 6 bolt AWD flywheel as well as an AWD starter.

 

[southsiderida90]

well got the clutch and flywheel, but do i really need the starter?

 

[snowborder714]

If you want the car to start...

There is a difference between a FWD and AWD starter. This makes sense (and is needed) since they have different flywheels.

o ok, thanks. sry for all the stupid questions. Ill keep you guys posted on how my project goes.

 

[southsiderida90]

i got another question guys, one of you guys mentioned that the pressure plate is different on the awd. is this true? if so can i use the disc from my fwd cause the awd disc is done.

 

[link16]

If you are in there already it would behoove you to get all new parts be it oem or aftermarket, certianly better than having a piecemeal drivetrain that leaves you and your hot date stranded in a not so nice part of town.

No, the pressure plates and disks are the same between FWD and AWD. This applies to both generations as well.

thanks for the response, the clutch from the fwd is relatively new, ill just scotchbright it up and resurface the flywheel and hopefully ill be fine.

does anybody here have a picture of how the vacuum lines are routed, i am pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. I think its a jdm motor because it has the cyclone intake. I have looked at the diagram for all the platforms turbo and non turbo, nothing really makes sense for my setup. I have a 90' so if ANYONE can please help, i am going crazy trying to figure this all out. I cant find the purge solenoid and i dont think it has egr, and i dont see a canister in any diagrams but my fwd had a canister. nothing is making sense!!

edit: i think i found a diagram that bypasses the egr and makes alot more sense, but i still dont know how to hook up the vacuum lines for runners for the cyclone manifold, theres this little piece that looks like a little fuel filter with two inlets.??
