Awd S13?
I was searching on Ebay for a new tranny for my s13 and saw that there is an AWD canadian tranny for sale. Did the S13 ever come in AWD? Can this conversion be done on a USDM S13? And wha parts would be needed?
Here is the link to what i found...

and if im not mistaken the engine in those cars are actually mounted "sideways" (like in a sentra or a civic) and so it would be a ***** to swap the engine/tranny in...it would actually be easier to swap in a RB26DETT if you want AWD

I also thought that on the S13 came with an opinion 4 wheel steering system? Is that only in the JDM models?

I only asked for a point of clarification. I had never heard of an AWD S13. I wouldnt do the swap.
And as for why.... AWD > RWD. You put more power to the wheels and get better traction control.
So i
on you opinion and say...

See, Catharsis asked "Whats the poont?" In response i said "AWD > RWD."
And i never asked anyones opinion, i asked for factual information.

2) I didnt know you or whoever is a mod is a mod, and i dont care if your a mod or that person is. As a moderator of a forum, i would hope that the person was take their role seriously and actually be welcoming and provide people with information instead of trying to flame people once they arrive. Nice way to welcome people.

well you get better inital traction however in the end the fastest cars in the world are RWD and if i want more traction i wil get something like a DTA and have all the ajustable traction i want.
the fact remains the fabrication needed to make a RWD chassis awd is not worth it due to the problems it creates with the suspention.
go buy a subaru

RB26DETT comes with a AWD trans the RB25DET comes with a RWD trans, if you did a swap RB26DET you'ed use a RB25 trans..
Yes the S13 hatch had 4 wheel steering ad a option super hicas, it was avail in the US , rare but mostly unwanted...
