#18465, "Gs to Gsx Conversion?"


          

Is it possible to make a Gs front wheel drive an Awd car? How would you do this? Is it expensive. I have searched and didnt find anything.

RoadRace turned a FWD turbo spyder into an AWD. From what I've heard, it was quite difficult and very expensive. And it would be 10x harder trying to mate our engine/tranny to the drivetrain of an AWD DSM.

Impossible to do it to ours....crank rotation and everything is wrong.

You could put a whole engine/tranny/rearend/gastank bla bla bla into your car. But for the $10,000 you're gonna spend doing it just sell your car and buy a gsx....


Now you can convert a GST to a GSX pretty simple...just tranny, drivetrain, and rear end stuff (gas tank, bla bla)

Thanks guys... kind of a bummer. Oh well cest la vis. Next question how hard is it to add a turbo to a GS? Whats involved in doing it? Who makes the best? Whats the best/fastest for a daily driver who wants to kick ass at any given moment?

Hehe, well first off, it is spelled c'est la vie. emoji

Adding a turbo to a NA car is pretty easy using the turbo kits offered by Star Performance and Hahn Racecraft. Use the search function and/or read some of the threads in the Turbo/Nitrous section. You should be able to find most of your answers there.
