I'm looking to make a mid engine car from scratch and I'm planning on using an evo 4g63. Big problem with this obviously.... I need to convert the trans to fwd.

Does anyone know of any kit designed to do this or is it easily done by disconnecting the yoke, letting it free-spin and welding the center differential?

 

There's fwd transaxles that bolt to the 4g63.

 

Be MUCH cheaper to get a 6 bolt 4G63 and a fwd tranny from a 1G...

 

I'm going to be picking up the engine from a wrecked donor car, price won't be an issue. Plus I want the strength of the awd transmission. So I suppose there is no blockoff for the transfer case made by anyone is there?

 

If you're building a mid-engine car, why are you going FWD?

 

The engine and drivetrain will be over the rear wheels. Technically rear engined.

 

why not just use a 6 bolt 4g63. it will probably be cheaper for you?

 

Yeah I agree I would use a 6 bolt fwd turbo motor and trans out of a dsm.

 

All I want to know is if there is a kit to do this or not and if ill just have to weld the center diff and run without a driveshaft.

 

Ever consider the front wheels won't get any grip on acceleration?

There's a good reason you don't see any R-F cars in production

 

He is planning an R-R setup.. like an mr2, atom or lotus type design...

 

Thank you, thought it was fairly clear due to the first post but apparently not.

 

some of us are pickin up what youre putting down perhaps labeling it as a transverse design woulda helped, then again that may have only confused folks even more. lol

wish i could help out. however the only swap/conversions i have ever built/owned was an AE86 i used to own.

 

Like everyone else said, you best bet woule be to get a 4g63 outta a DSM with FWD.

 

Then why does it say FWD in the OP and title?
