Turbo Terri RWD conversion?

[k31th]

that's quite interesting, as I wasn't going by redbook rather my own experience, but redbook appears to agree with ralphy. best way to get the correct answer to something is to post incorrect information @RHR has/had a RWD petrol territory turbo, but perhaps it was modified to be this way before he purchased it (or my memory of what he said and how his car was propelled on a snowies cruise is incorrect - which is possible)

 

either way, my advice still stands, other than the fact you'd have to swap the motor for a RWD Petrol model to include a turbo motor for that scenario. So it's either swap an entire driveline (aside from motor) or sell/buy and swap motors.

Typo.  Turbo territory only AWD

Hey guys

 

thinking of converting my territory this turbo to rwd. Haven’t found any threads which seems like bad news but any info would be appreciated on whether or not this is even possible.

also whether it’s safe to do so. 

I've had 2 TTG's, now have a 2007 Territory TS RWD with a BTR 4 speed auto. Have fitted a built FG engine with FG turbo inlet, exhaust manifold, GTX3582R turbo, PW FG FMIC, fuel pump upgrade (Walbro 460), 4" dump, 5" cat, Manta twin 2.5" system. Makes 402rwkw on 98 fuel. 

 

I prefer the handling of the RWD, it's sharper than the AWD. The biggest challenge is finding a BTR that will hold together, I've found a trans builder in Perth that builds these trans with custom valve body modification, billet 2/4 servo, cryoed planetary gear sets. So far, so good. 

 

Apart from the twin exhaust tips the vehicle is a real sleeper but goes very well.

sounds like you would be breaking driveshafts and CV joints often

 

I noticed the studs/nuts you've replaced the exhaust manifold bolts with... any link to those?

[Romulus]

Not enough traction to worry about breaking the driveline yet....

 

Exhaust stud/nuts bought off EBay, do a search for Mamba Ford Exhaust Stud Kit.
