just purely out of curiosity would it be at all possible to convert a FWD turbo to an AWD
 
I just finished my awd swap yesterday, so far everything is running great. Haven't had a chance to launch it though because it's been raining.
 
WWW.TEAM-TRINITY.COM it was finished and completed by some of us (yea my newb ass helped out some too). done on a '97 spyder (i believe thats the year).
 
Hey, your name and profile implies that you have a 1G...

If so, then no... the AWD conversion would require extensive work and the fabrication of many parts. The 1G's don't have the drive shaft tunnel. The 2G's do, and therefore can perform the conversion... I've already researched this, since I had a 1G AWD donor car and a 1G FWD that was perfect...

Here's the article for the 2G... http://www.automotivearticles.com/AWD_Conversion.shtml

You can see that they have the tunnel... look under your 1G, we do not :(
 
Yeah I Figured 2g Due To The 2g Posted In The Title Lol. N/t 1g Awd Would Be Pointless Imo
 
oh sorry i didnt really search so very hard i guess i could have:( but no i have a 1g nt right now but im buying a 2g with a 6bolt swap but its fwd and im so sick of fwd i have a crx with an integra motor swap too that im selling and the no traction and understeer pisses me off to no end so ya but thanks guys sorry i didnt search very good
