I think the best way will be to use a Mitsubishi Evo parts because most the parts should fit. Because it's a transverse engine and the lay out the mostly the same.
Huh?
Why not use the drivetrain from the JDM AWD Sport 20?

There's a local guy here doing an AWD conversion, but this one has a little twist to it. Almost bulletproof drive train !!
Is that a Protege? can you tell all of what he did to this thing to get the AWD conversion done?
Thanks in advance!
Don't waste your time. The Protege is a neat car, but not a sports car. Unless you're REALLY sentimentally attached to the body, i would just leave the protege alone as a daily driver, buy yourself an AWD eclipse/talon. Already AWD and has twice the power of a protege right out of the box. The entire car ready to go would cost less than the conversion, and then you can let this thread die; after 7 years it is ready to rest.
Well, I am actually attached to this car... I have one that's been flooded (my original P5), and one that has rear end damage with 15K on it (won at an auction for $1500.00, 1 owner, all records and all paperwork accounted for, clean Carfax). I will be doing a full swap of everything from the totaled one to my original one and will have everything apart during the process. So that being said, While I have it apart, I with be "forging" the engine, adding turbo, etc. And while I am at it, Id like to do the AWD conversion as well.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! PM me if you can!
Thanks in advance!
