AWD Protege swap

[weelyweels]

So i have been reading about making an all-wheel drive protege from a 4wd protege and everything i have been reading says that the drivetrain will not hold up to much power..... does anyone know which part/s wont hold up.. doing the swap would include a GT-X or GT-R transaxle so that would hold up.. the rear dif is the same as the GT-X the car is not all that heavy so it will hold up.... that leaves me with the drive shafts and..... well thats all i can think off... so does any one know anything that i am over looking or missing out on?? ohh... is it the mounts for the rear difs... or the drive shaft suports....

thanks for your time
Weelyweels..

Im assuming the reason for people doing such things as this is to learn from it, have fun doing it and having a unique car. Im sick of people like you who say stuff like that.

Fill me in on what the difference between a 4wd and AWD protege would be. Is the 4wd manual engagement, and the awd all the time? i know wrx's are awd, so the 4 wheels are always gettin power, i would assume that means the 4wd is manual, and you tell it to engage. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

there is no such thing as a awd protege...well stock aleast... 4wd has a 50/50 torque split as the awd gtx and gtr have a 43/57 rear bias torque split. 4wd normaly has a direct mechanical link to the rearend were as awd is normal equipped w/ viscus cluches in between the drive shaft and transaxle to prevent bineding when driving on pavement which you would get w/ a 4wd on the street........

i thought awd was computer controled sending power to the wheels with the most grip or something

 

[weelyweels]

it can be computer controled as in the subaru STi. i belive it is controled by a computer some how.... the mazda gtx and gt-r do not use any computer to control the awd system
