AWD TT Trans am?
AWD TT Trans am? ok as my car sits now its an automatic ls1.99 trans am.In the near future i would like to convert it to a t56,and twin turbo charge it.I would also love to have it converted to all wheel drive.Has anyone ever done this before?What would it intail?a whole new tranny or adding a transfer case?Where would i get the parts?Is anything from a wrx compatible since suburus part gm?any help would make me happy.like most my ideas,ive never heard much of this or i take that back,ive never heard anything at all on this topic so i dont know where to turn.Think about the pull a tune ,win turbo ls1 with all four wheels going, would feel!What about the sound?would i brake traction in 2nd gear?i think i would my friends 2005 audi tt barks second and that only 225 horsies think about 600!
converting to a t-56 ain't nothing...do that if you want to have a fun driving car. if you want a full out drag car that will whoop *** stay automatic and upgrade the hell outa your car and your tranny. my friend (a girl believe it or not) has a 99 trans am automatic and she has borla exhaust, shift kit, stall, intake, and she runs 8.00's in the 1/8 mile..and she is wicked off of the line
how about this...buy a subaru or lancer and swap an ls1 in it or even better swap a ls6 or even the ls7 in one of em'
dude...our cars don't have the room to do that. I don't mean to put you down or anything but how long have you had your 99 trans am?? and how much do you know about it? it just doesn't seem like you know a whole lot right now to be thinking about all that. I'm not trying to be an *** i just want you to realize what you are getting into. I have an 01 trans am ws6 and I do everything myself, I have only gotten to tuning my car with my computer and I want a turbo....its a little $$ but if i wait and save i will have it and know how to tune it.
basically if you want a fast *** drag car that can bracket race and can beat anyone off of the line stay automatic
if you want a fun car to drive and shift gears in and have fun racing go with the t-56...or even an upgraded t-56..they are weak stock

zl1killa;just to let you know this is my fifth trans am at the age of 20.ive had my car completely apart if you take all my experience and add it up.
People always says there no room for things but have you checked out an evo?or a mustang?theyre smaller and they make it fit.anything can be done if you want it theres always a solution. i only want a t56 for fun.i realize an automatic usualy has a gain at the strip but im trying to stay away from the strip and do some gt event type driving.As far as getting a gto thats a killer idea but get rid of my ta for a hoat?not happening anytime soon!Ill check into the minivan parts or you just reminded me that vibes are awd as well.there has to be someone whos done this.And to let everyone know-im not trying to have the fastes drag car.ive driven my brothers awd eclpipse gsx and my dads lamborghini murcialago and awd feels awesome as opposed to my trans am my brothers a28 and my moms zo6.Ok the z06 is pretty sweet regardless.Plus'i like doing things that are really different to my cars.

Look you can do it...but you need to use the tranfer case from a typhoon or cyclone...and you will need to rework the k member. Thats really the only way to do it. Its about the only tranfer case i would put in it due to the proved ability to hold all that horsepower. I also beilive that the firewall would have to moved back a bit to fit better. I have a few more ideas but that could get you strated, If you are looking for someone to do it, pm me Its something that i could do with a little time.

I have always thought about awd cars. I own a WRX. Guys with 300hp are in the 12's. That's fast for that power. Besides I can blaze corners at 90 mph in the rain like nothing. I have driven as fast as 90mph in the snow. Car sticks like glue. There is a WRX here in the middle of an LS1 conversion and he deleted the front drive because of space. I was going to look into the new Ford 500 for AWD and lowered stance when I do my next truck. Everyone always says why would you want AWD. They just haven't lived with one to understand that traction is king, not HP.
Let us know what you come up with. I would be very interested.

Of course, what do I know...I've only owned one TA.
GM actually built an AWD Trans Am. I have seen the car in one of their project garages. It can be done, but is was not easy. They used the AWD transfer case from a cyclone. I spoke with one of the garage guys and not a single panel in the floor of this car was stock. I believe they also had an oil pan with a pass-thru for one of the front axles. There was a ton of custom work done to make everything fit. But I was told that it was fun to drive. I believe they just added a corvette motor with a hotcam.
I had dreams to make my car TT and AWD as well. Maybe someday.....

why would that make me stupid? where would i find parts off of a cyclone?Those are prett rare right?i mean theyre kind of before my time but ive only saw one my whole life and the guy was a sort of a car colector.His daily driver is a viper rt 10 and once in a while youd see him in a pantera or his cyclone.One day i was pumping gas at the chevron he owns and i asked him why he doesnt drive the cyclone more because i think theyre really cool little blazers.His response was"when was the last time you saw a cyclone as clean as mine?"well the answer is ive never saw another one.His is the only one.So do i have to hunt down a wrecked cyclone or is there a part number still in exsistance?

I don't think anyone's trying to call you out on whether or not you're being honest.... we just want to see some Lambo pics!! As you spend some time on the board, you'll see that EVERYONE likes to see pics of EVERYTHING... whether it's a sweet car, a sweet-*** girl or a melted down turbo engine.... we like pics!!
