Default bB Front Clip

Hey if I bought a bB front clip how hard do you think it would be to customize the original bB engine into the xB frame. Is the engine bay to small, custom engine mounts, etc..?

Why would you want to do that? The 1NZ is the best engine available in Japan for the bB..there is no "upgrade".

what engine is in your front clip? is it the 1NZ-FE? if not it should still just bolt in. I dont think the mounts that are in the engine bay are different from the xB to the bB.

it is the same as the USDM
so screw the front clip and just get the AWD parts
and have an AWD bB

if you have looked under your car
there are accomodations for the parts

If you can get all of the AWD components, I'd go that route.

that would be ALL new running gear and trans + differential
rear suspension
mounts
possibly a new ABS module(don't think a 2wd will help a AWD car)
probably a new ecu
the differential may need it's own ECU

while you are at it get me a JDM NAVi
