galant to vr4 conversion

[Ibz1bang]

hi i would like to convert my ulez exempt 2003 galant v6 manual to either a vr4 twin turbo conversion or evo engine conversion both need to be 4wd though.
which would be cheaper to do? .
i also have a 1997 legnum vr4 auto an 1999 galant vr4 auto (both are not ulez exempt and rotten body's so good as doner parts cars) ready for the conversion
from my understanding apparently the non vr4 galants have a slightly different underbody for the diff/prop shaft

i would like any advice if possible please will be greatly appreciated
also if anyone can carry out the work for me at reasonable price

thank you all in advance[/B]

Hi there Ibraheem,
the under body is completely differet from VR4 to none VR4.
you will have to cut the entire center section of the floor and fire wall out and fabricate the tunnel. you will also have to replace the petrol tank as it straddles the propshaft replace the entire rear ond of the car, subframe, etc. there is a lot more to it than just this, being quick with my response.
personally i would not bother with the four wheel drive, and just create a VR2, this has been done before and there are some threads on it on here if you search for VR2.

Thank you very much with the response...how does the power handle with the fwd?
And is the vr2 conversion pretty much a swap?
Thank you

i have not done the VR2 swap but there are people on here that have and it is basically an engine swap.
but a VR2 search will bring up the post where people have done the conversion and you can message them directly.
