This guy from se.dsm.org is doing a FWD to AWD conversion on his GST. It only cost him $1500 plus a shit load of time. Who's up for doing it on a Turbo RS? That would be fucking SCHWEETTTT!

You don't even need the Caravan tranny
all you need is the PTU (Power Transfer Unit) ad it bolts on the nvt-350 too

But you will need at least the differential of the Caravan to do a custom read-end system

i'm up for trading my 2.4 money in for awd!!!!!!!!!!!! i gots the money....

Having Problems? Heres my Three step solution to anything 2gnt related.
Step 1: Put down everything in your hands.
Step 2: Grab a lucky strike, Smoke it.
Step 3: Walk to the fridge, double fist some keystone ice, sit down in the shade, drink one beer, finish cigarette, drink other beer, roll a joint, smoke it, walk back to your problem, and in about 5 minutes the solution will come to you.
If not. Go here: here

If still nothing, your trying to hard. Start over at step 1.

HMMMMM

So there is an AWD trany that "CAN" be modified to fit 2gnt (ok i dont mind doing crazy swaps on proj. vehicles, other project working on is a jeepster + bronco subframe + add inumerable frame, linkage, driveline changes....)

BUT its auto.....

Time to see if i can find one wrecked for cheap i can buy at auction bwahaha just considering the idea

2.4 2g awd turbo (but auto emoji )...might be that the weight gain isint worth the effort to have that title emoji

yea i talked to road race a while back about a FWD to AWD conversion on a gst for a friend of mine. not really worth all the trouble in my opinion, the underbody is totally different and needs to much fabrication. as to a 420a AWD all i can say is emoji

it is not totally different, they suspension is obviously and the gas tank is. The exhaust is routed differently but the driveshaft tunnel and mounts are still there.

The rear end is stupidly simple (90% bolt on).

The biggest difficult is the AWD hookup to the tranny/engine. Figure that one out, and you got an AWD 420a.
