I seen where you did the AWD conversion on your Avenger. My thoughts are would it be possible to get the 6-speed AWD and twin turbo setup out of a Stealth R/T and put it all in a 1995 Avenger ES automatic. I am going to do this once I find a high mileage Stealth for pretty cheap but it won't be soon, kinda don't have a job. I will make it work but what all kinds of changes would it require. I plan on running an intercooler sort of like you did, but do you think I would have the room with the V-6 and the two turbos. The reason I don't want to just fix the Stealth up is that who would expect to see a twin turbo, AWD, V-6 Avenger and if I can get it to work I can do a step by step story on it and show everybody else how to make this awesome if possible conversion. Any other ideas you have please share them and thanks for reading my ideas.

 

With a lot of modifications, it can be done.
The issues with a conversion is always about fitment. The 6g72 TT is too tall for our engine bays. The 3.0 swaps (using the 6g72 N/A) is even too tall and so parts of the 2.5 are used instead. You can see what is all involved just to swap the 6G72 into our bays here. Now imagine trying to swap in a 6G72 TT. The turbo world is constantly trying to help the motor breathe better, but if you put the 2.5 intake manifolds to get this to fit, you've just down graded the intake. Then there's a matter of trying to get the motor to fit from front to back...not to mention having to upgrade the suspension so that it can handle the extra torque/HP, then the electronics...there's a lot more too.
So, obviously, there's a lot of time, work, patients, planning, and money that would go into a swap of this size. A V8 swap would be less extensive as it's been done before and even as we speak. I'm not saying that it's impossible, just awefully extensive compared to swapping in it's smaller brother that can make just as much and more power.

 

Yo Silver y did you choose an Eclispe engine instead of upgrading the original?

 

I wanted AWD and a manual tranny again...oh and did I forget...turbo

 

Thanks for telling me what is involved. I still plan to work on it but i probally will buy another Avenger to do this on so I can still drive mine in the time being. By the way is $800 good for a 1996 Avenger. Its an ES and all but something is wrong with the motor. They said one morning it just wouldn't start. The body and interior are both in good shape. I'm going to look at it today so maybe more on it later.
