Would be Very costly and too technically demanding and reliability would be a downer, for all the hassle and cost / unknown factors IMO if you want AWD go for a Subaru that has been designed and built with it.

Go proof your lude is a 13 car? Howbout a timeslip? Replacing stock parts won't necessarily make you go faster like the master and slave cylinder, or the radiator and rotors unless they were in horrible condition.

RWD and AWD conversions are not meant for street cars...

So to answer your question... NO!

So you are kidding about your list of mods and actually you have Arturbo's ENDYN setup right? Cuz last time I saw "roughly 300whp" and dc header, and no nitrous in the same sentence it had nothing to do with an H22.

Of course you may have just completely gutted your car... like no doors/top/hood/bumpers/brake discs/gas tank.

Or you just have a ton of vinyl/leds/multiple wings/300lb stereo system/aem-dcsport license plate holders and chrome 20s. Those make good speed too.

OR... you are dreaming and forgot that in your dream, your dream turbo puts out 300, and the list of mods you have there on your imaginary prelude was taken off something in the kills forum.

Your list gets a lot shorter if you remove all the useless "improvements." Once you get rid of the crap you have:

Apex-i N1 catback exhaust
DC Sports Header
AEM Cold Air Intake
AEM Tru Time adjustable cam gears (work only if tuned)
AEM Underdrive pulleys
Clutchmasters 12 lb flywheel
Ported my stock intake manifold 2-3mm

You're joking, right? This stuff is good for maybe 10-15whp. That puts you all the way upto 170 or so. And you haven't listed anything that tunes the car for these parts, it's quite fair to get many calls of "BS" on this. Did you just "decide" it must be 300whp.

Gads, this thread should be locked... what a waste of typing.
