1G Putting a FWD N/A 4g63 in a 1g AWD DSM

[Zero_Jay]

So I’m possibly going to put a NA (unmodified) FWD 4g63 6bolt in a AWD 1gB, in the meantime while I build up my other Turbo 4g63. Seeing if anyone did this yet, or even if the NA would even be able to have the power to make it down the road.

Just build the na block into whatever you want. I don't understand why you would do this?

I need it to still be able to move around, I’m looking at a few months to build this Turbo 4g63 and I happen to have access to a NA 4g63

I wouldn't even bother with it, put it on some dolleys and call friends when you need to move it.

So it doesn't currently run? Or it does and you want to build the engine in it? Elaborate please.

Yep the motor has been pulled and getting rebuilt. The car currently is lawn decoration I’m having to push to the street or back yard to the front yard. Part of putting the NA motor in there is nearly completely out of curiosity and if it can work and drive normally just less power

I'll move it just fine. You can drive a turbo awd car around without ever getting into boost to make it move.

There is no difference in the way the block bolts up between FWD or AWD. You'll need to use the AWD flywheel clutch and starter plate to have the engine bolt up to the AWD transmission correctly. You'll also need to change the injectors to the turbo ones or bypass the injector resistor pack to run the n/a injectors

Please explain bypassing the resistor pack to run n/a injectors.

There's also no reason you couldn't put the turbo on it and drive it around like normal. There are some differences but stock to stock its not a big deal. If you intend to modify then no I wouldn't start doing tons of bolt ons to a stock nt motor. Of course "tons" is a relatively term. The Long block has more in common nt and turbo than not.

N/A injectors are high impedance so the resistor pack needs to be bypassed in order to fire them. I really wouldn't recommend doing it this way since the n/a injectors are only about 240cc it probably wouldn't run very well. Tossing the turbo injectors on would be a better route. Imo.

My point was it wouldn't run at all since they're half the size.
