Hello guys,

I’m contemplating to convert my RWD 425hp RB25DET in my 240sx to an AWD. I hear all I need is the AWD transmission and AWD oil pan. Well, plus the hubs and axles,  and probably oil pan adapter plate. But is it possible and what are all the parts I would need?  It doesn’t sound hard to do. 
 

I’m contemplating this conversion for safer all year driving, faster track time/ acceleration. Better performance.

Could I just change my tire setup and increase HP to achieve close AWD performance instead?

This has been done but to do it properly is time, money and skill. Need matching diffs, awd gearbox, atessa pump, 4wd controller, custom front hubs or graft in r chassis front, awd front subframe, modify chassis rails to clear driveshafts, modify floor pan- will need to modify tunnel and relocate seat mount. I looked into it and started collecting most of the big parts but stopped as I did not have the skills to fabricate the metal work required. I looked at using n15 pulsar front spindles and modified R32 shafts so could retain standard front end. Cheaper and easier to buy an awd car

If your wanting better launches and traction control, get a decent aftermarket ecu, DBW conversion, front and rear wheel speed sensors, good tyres, quality suspension and alignment then set up traction & launch control.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
