Sport 20 AWD conversion has any one done it?

[SniperPR5]

I was wondering if anyone on here has done the Sport 20 AWD conversion? I know of a place that can get it for a pretty good price.

Whats a pretty good price?

Well I was quoted $3500 for the FS-ZE motor and the full AWD setup. I sent another email asking about just the AWD setup(cost w/o motor)

You will need a lot more than just the drive-train. Floor pans are different, as well as suspension pick-up points. It would be cheaper just to buy an Evo.

in theory, wouldn't it lower the whp?

let's see, many have thought and almost attempted but none have truly succeeded. But it would be an awesome sight.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the AWD version for an automatic tranny only? Sure, AWD would be great but I'm not about to give up my 5spd.

XelderX would be the person to talk to about this.

no the AWD comes in a 5 Speed. I havent seen anyone yet who has actually done it yet. I really want to though.

would love to do it but i dont think theres any aftermarket lsd for the trans to handle the power, if other wise i would be interesed, ...

xelderx and corksport got heavy into the swap and eventually canned the idea as the price for the total swap with everything involved soared over $20,000 if i recall properly. he was pretty stoked about it but for whatever reason the price kept climbing

alot of money..but it would be great to have one of the only awd proteges in the country...

There are plenty of AWD pros in the US. Just not 3rd gens.
