Mk4 4WD?
« on: 14 October 2011, 20:02 »
Anybody know if its possible to put a 4wd off a 4mo onto a 1.8t?

Or do you have to drop the 1.8t into 4mo shell?

as above, easier to drop 1.8t into 4mo shell..
to fit 4mo to 1.8t,
you will need :
boot floor pan from 4mo welded in,
4mo fuel tank
4mo exhaust
4mo running gear (prop shaft, rear diff, gearbox, drive shafts, rear arms, rear subframe... the list goes on)
all in all, just not worth it.

You can put a 4motion lump in a FWD shell with the 1.8T gearbox, you will just have a 2motion then lol

I fancied putting a 1.8t in my 4mo when the engine gave out but found it to be a load of mither. Sacked it off and im going to re engine it and try the JBS / Custom Code VVT attack map to make it more exciting. (it needs to try keep up with my dirty nissan  :laugh: )
