Default All Wheel Drive Turbo Scion xB / bB

Found out where I can get the tranny and the Turbo engine and norm-asp I'll keep you in formed about cost and hp of engine with / without Turbo . I will be converting the RS 2.0 #1666 to Turbo AWD hope fully this will not kill me in price for importing almost a whole car less body.
Maybe get in a mag or something who knows the possibilities ???

how about you dont post anything like this again unless you have
1. specifics on your setup, at least a theory so we may discuss something here.
2. proof of completed project.

Just a friendly thought.

hahahahahahahahahahaha and ha

seriously. I know they had a bB that was awd and turbo, but the motor is a 1.3L and none of the drivetrain components will fit the US version. All of those parts are for the first gen bB and the US got the second gen bB/xB. So unless you are willing to pay around $15,000 for the car, $3-4,000 for shipping, registering, documents, etc. and even then risking a chance of not getting approved, please scrap any idea of this actually working. Then you have to consider scrapping the whole motor since the Japanese ECU is the only one that will work with the car and the fuel in the US will not work with the car since they run a high octane than the US. Unless you have the funds to be buying something close to 100 octane everyday (which in KY is about $7 a gallon) it doesn't seem logical to try this idea of yours.

Again, you have maybe a 10% chance of this actually working. I wish it would work, but take it from someone who has already researched this and a few other possibilities and just try to buy a turbo kit from one of the companies in the US. I know there are a few already and are a lot cheaper than what you originally wanted to do.
