its going to be a very expensive procedure.
so to answer your question completely correctly.
Yes you can convert to AWD, but you need a very experienced shop, you have to cut away the floor pan in the rear, you have to fabricate a rear subframe in part.
It is by no means bolt on. 10/10 on the difficulty scale


It would be more cost efficient to find a GT-4 and put a curren front on it. Or 3sgte swap the curren in FWD.

Hey !

Anything is possible with time and money.

> what are the complications involved,

You'll find out. laugh.gif

> are all the parts from a st205 bolt on

No.

> or does it involve major modifications?

Yes.

> i want to do it in india by importing a 3sgte engine n rear clip,

Do you have a good shop in mind, or friends, or skills with a welder and fabrication yourself ?

> me coz the cost involved in importing parts to india are quite high.

It cost a lot here in the US as well. A few attempts have failed here.

> please guide

There is a search button available to search for information.
There have been several 2-3 conversion that have been completed.

AWD, conversion; ST205....

> looking for all the info and help i can get.thank you.

Look for "Celicaman05" He completed a swap. Several others are following in his example.

(He sold the car, but his info is still on the board, don't know if he will answer questions ? )

Plenty of information on this board. But no one is going to do All the work for you.
A lot of dreamers come on the board too and think it is easy. They give up after
they see how hard it is.

I wish you luck ! biggrin.gif

Regards;
