The G6 6 speed swap is somewhat in the works, but it needs the Saab bellhousing, which seems to be hard to come by.

Probably $12k-$15k

The trans alone would be $4k, unless you went with a used one. Then there is the driveshaft, rear end, rear axles, rear suspension, fuel tank, etc...

 

AWD FTW! check out this evo. i know these guys personally. this car is a daily driver, i have rode in it. unreal. pick up a used evo, and take it to these guys.

ya i knew id be real low on the conversion but one can dream, i didnt peg the tranny at 4k, but i knew the axles and rear end etc would be a lot more.

 

also with awd...dont forget modifying the floor of the car for a driveshaft tunnel unless you want the driveshaft and transfercase close to the ground. also with electronic boost controllers.....they really arent ment to be toyed with that much. you tune for your boost levels. its pretty much the same with a manual boost controller aswell. your not going to just go out there and turn it to up your boost with out looking at what your doing to the car.

 

So Matt, lets just say, I had an extra 12-15k lying around and decided to go the AWD route (which I don't have that kind of money right now anyways lol), how long do you think it would take you guys to fab something up?

 

Money and brains.. you decide the proper ratio..

 

The transfer case is attached to the transmission, and last time I checked, Cobalts already have a tunnel.

 

This would be epic but alas makes no sense haha

Leveecius
it would probably take him about a day or two..

Step 1: Take your 15 grand.

Step 2: Go on autotrader and find an 03/04 Evo/STi in decent shape for that price

Step 3: Go buy it

Step 4: Give you the keys.


And now you have a turbo four bangor AWD potential monster....

oh and he added two doors for free!!!!!

 

Gotcha lol. Forgive me I haven't been under th car recently. The exhaust is offly tight up there so getting a driv shaft up there would be interesting. Regardless. I think some modification will be needed

 

There would be a learning curve there and parts to order and wait for. Honestly, it could take a couple months. If we did this on one of our cars first, it will be much quicker after that.

 

Haha! If I were to do that, I'd get a 1g Talon TSi AWD for about 2k, and drop 10k into it, have a 10 second car, and take it to the club and party. But again, that's just me.

Yeah I figured as much. That would be kinda cool though. Just don't see a lot of people doing it for 15g's. lol. Now the 6spd, I can see more people doing that though.

 

I have a buddy who has done exactly this.

 

Anyone have RPD and compare numbers to dyno with bolt ons and tune? I have well, everything you see in my signature... bolt ons and trifecta tune. My car's RPD has said highest for both Hp and TQ are around 325 ea. That doesn't seem quite right for Crank HP and TQ. The tune gave me about 22 psi (spike). I've had a re-tune done, but it actually hindered performance a bit. I figured 320's or so should be numbers to the wheels, not to the crank (which is what I would figure the RPD to read). I haven't had a dyno yet, but I'll be tempted if I can ever get these numbers up a bit. I'm waiting on a new tune to come in, hopefully I can get these numbers up a bit. Just trying to get a feel for what other people are seeing. Thanks for any inputs...

 

AFter all that, though, it's still a DSM.

 

I know he loves those damn things. At least its awd...........

 

Well, it is official, my car is bye bye for the deployment. Jus watched it drive away yesterday, the family came down to spend the day with me, then we loaded up all my suff and off they went. it was cool watching my dad,, who is a IL state cop, (master sergeant) drive it.. With the cutout open lol.. But it hurt so bad to watch it leave, few of u know what it's like, but for those who don't, it hurts no matter how much of a man u think u are. This will be my 2nd deployment, goin directly into the shitstorm this time. Iraq is bad, Afghanistan, is ******* extremely dangerous. so as I watched everybody drive away, I wondered if that was gonna be the last time I saw them. it's real ****. joke about it if u want.

 

Good luck to you and yours. Kick some ******* ASS!, then come back here and toast a beer to your best frend

 

Bless you and stay safe. Thanks for your service!!

 

good luck and thank you for your service..

 

Good luck John, we will see you on the other side! Stay strong and safe, and thanks again for the service you have given us, so that I can sleep sound.

 

Good luck and make it home safe

take care john. it was a pleasure meeting you. stay safe. kick ass and come back in
one piece.

 

Shoot first and ask questions later. Good luck and be safe.

 

Thanks guys, I Appreciate everything. I will be on here as much as I can while I'm over there, to keep you posted on the build. I'm sure mkriebs will do the same.
