#Pontiac vibe awd manual#
The wife can't drive a manual so I could live with an AT if it had some giddy-up to it.Here is what I am referring to: what the AWD transmission looks like.ONORM diamond tire chains refer to tire chains that comply with the standards set by the Austrian Standards Institute (Österreichisches Normungsinstitut). I am curious as to exactly what 1.8L engine Toyota used in the GT-4 Celica (I'm mainly a Nissan guy at heart, but I have loved the Vibe since it came out).Sourcing one would not be too difficult for me (my wife is Japanese and I still go back often), only finding out if this is pie-in-the-sky thinking or is this something actually doable without breaking the bank. Didn't have the power of a GTR, but the handling was great. I had an R32 Skyline GTS4 Coupe and I really fell in love with AWD. There was one on the island I taught English on way South of Okinawa. In Japan, Toyota continued production of the Celica GT4 past the 1989(?) final year here in the US. I am certainly going through a learning phase and I hope to not ask any questions that have previously been addressed.

Might have to get a matching rear differential to get the keep the front and rear wheels rev matched, maybe tweak that with different size front/rear tires.Lots I don't know and speculate on, My gut reaction is that 250 HP AWD is probably easier/cheaper/more reliably obtained by starting with a different car altogether.but anyway, welcome to genvibe, and if you do anything like this be sure to take lots of notes and pictures. Not sure if it would be cheaper to buy a GT and add the AWD stuff or buy an AWD and add the 2zzNot sure if there is another AWD powertrain from a different platform you could drop in and fit with custom front axles and rear driveshaft. You'd have to come up with a hybrid, maybe the front of the 5 or 6 speed with the back of the AWD auto tranny, but I have no idea if that is possible, or if you'd have problems from running ATF in a 6 speed gear box or 75W90 gear oil in the AWD backend designed to get ATF.The cars PCM controls both the engine and the tranny shift points, don't think there is one for 2ZZ and the AWD tranny together. I do not know of any manual tranny AWD option availability for these cars, the rear power comes from a driveshaft hooked into the auto tranny/differential, and dropping a standard GT 6 speed would eliminate that.

Greenfire put a S/C on his AWD Matrix, and didn't have any tranny related problems from the exra HP, but that was what, maybe 170, not close to your 250 HP goal.I assume you could bolt a 2ZZ onto the AWD tranny, and maybe the tranny could handle the power, although you might lose some power due to the required exhaust rerouting to get arround the AWD stuff.
