Default 4g wagovan rt4wd

I've noticed alot of people don't know too much about this engine tranny combo, I myself am still trying to learn, i've been trying to find a performance torque converter that'll fit in, but they're scarce if any. I found out the converter can take about 170 hp before it ponders the idea of explosion. If anyone has any info on the rt4wd transaxle, i would **** my pants in excitement. I'll keep posting here when i find out stuff, i promise.

see if you have a local torque converter rebuilder in your area, they may be able to help.

the transfer case only transfers when it senses slip and even then it only transfers at the most 20%

Level 10 sells performance torque converters built to your spec.....call them up and tell em wut you want

actually there was a guy in california that put the 4wd drivetrain in a hatchback. he was running it at the dragstrip. takes some modification, but not impossible. I should know, I turned a 2wd wagon into an 4wd one, and thats not near as easy as it seems. everything is different. I can take off full throttle at a wet rainy intersection without ever spinning a tire. put it in 2wd and can't hardly get going at the same intersection. it does more than 20 percent to the rear wheels. the viscous joint allows 3% slippage and then it locks solid. thats straight from the rt4wd website.

that'd be cool, but where did he put the gas tank, exhaust, and how'd he hook the rear suspension up is what i'd like to see.
