burnout8488 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 It sucks the rear subframe from an AWD Volvo doesn't bolt up to the FWD body, otherwise this would be sooo much easier for you. All you'd have to worry about would be the front end of the car, and adapting whatever powertrain you use to the Volvo driveshaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maciekb2002 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 ^But you can adapt the rear subframe from a AWD to teh FWD body. You can almost bolt it up. Need to get some brackets form AWD v70 version . But that rear end set up is just wearied. Plus LSD is a must Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnderr Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 If you keep it on white block I'll provide the tuning no charge... Does this mean you'll be rolling out a COP setup too RWD orientation with the distributor might be a little tight by the firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maciekb2002 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Does it ? Not sure about that. Front doesn't and that's what drives rear . I am not a big fan of AWD volvo's , audi , subaru . Did it right way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb5 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yeah the rear diff is the same as the RWD 700/900 series cars. It has a limited slip built in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdlimy Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 The nice thing about using the awd rear end is it gives you an apropriate suspension setup and rear subfram setup for a diff and rear drive. If it was me, i would be doing the awd rear end swap but ditching the shitty weak stock diff in favor for a differential with some balls out of an awd car, like and evo for example, some custom fab to mount it where the stock volvo diff sat and some custom axle shafts and you would have a fully stock original rear suspension setup with a beefy drivetrain. Dont bother using the the stock transver engine configeration, if your going for rwd just cut up the firway and exhaust tunnel for a transmission and mount the motor the proper direction. The biggest pain in the ass i can see would be modifying the body to fit a transmission inline behind the motor. but if your planning on using that s6 aan 5cyl audi motor this is the issues you will be dealing with anyways.

Jardim Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yes, Idk who said it but the idea of swapping the crappy VC from the AWD for an open center diff and rear LSD was stated before, would be what i would do if i tackled a project this big. then i could retain a constant AWD system, the only significant loss you get from this is that your car is gonna run outta punch in the higher speeds, but if maciek keeps his current motor that shouldnt be a problem Now lets just say maciek wanted just RWD. Could a 700 or 900 series rear subframe setup be used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could a 700 or 900 series rear subframe setup be used? There's no point when the IRS AWD will properly align with the 850/v70 body. The rear LSD diff is the same unit used for RWD applications! If you're mounting the motor fore/aft, then there are no BG issues, you just eliminate the DS/VC setup & make a straight driveshaft to replace it.

Jardim Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 :Facepalm: I completely forgot about the rear AWD subframe.............That would be the real deal for a RWD setup, just one question...how strong are the rear AWD axles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maciekb2002 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I will say the rear axels are 75% thickness as front . I found today 99 m3 gear box , I am still thinking about set up !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
