Hello, I was wondering about how much it costs for parts and labor to convert my car over to all wheel drive. Also if that means I will need the 3s-gte engine swap/transmission to handle it?

The AWD parts you can get from me, Trans, axles, driveshafts, rear diff, etc will run you 1800 shipped. A GEN3 3sgte will run you 2400 with free shipping to your door.

If bought together, you can save some money. Everything together will run you 3800 with free shipping to your door. Then you will need to find a competent mechanic who is wiling to take him time and read the wealth of information on this site about swapping to a 3sgte. Then you need to bring in a guy who does frame repair and show him where he needs to weld you up some subframes for the rear. Once the subframes are made and welded into the car,,,you can basically bolt the AWD stuff in. You will have some more fabrication work such as cutting out the spare tire well in the back, running a fuel cell, or ST165/185/205 gas tank, extending brake lines, and welding in some drive shaft support brackets,

It is possible, but you need someone with a good head on his shoulders, and someone you can trust, I hope this helps.

would you be able to ship over an entire rear subframe off a gt4. That way the guys in the USA have a way to make a OEM specification jig for the awd parts.
