Hello everyone, my name is Sean, I have just joined this forum and I am looking for opinions as well as ideas. My idea is to take my ‘02 IS300 and put around 8 psi of boost through the motor off a budget turbo kit I’m putting together. My only issue is that the IS300 did not come with an AWD unless it was the Sportcross or Altezza Gita. I looked around and found an adapter plate from PMC motorsport to swap to an Audi 01E drivetrain. I personally own a B8 S4, so I’m already biased towards the quattro. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I would make the IS300 suspension work, what kind of custom fabrication would be needed, who would be able to make aftermarket computers run this? I wanted to gather as many ideas as possible I already know some places and people who might be able to do work on it, just want to know what you guys might think, as well as suggest.

 

Wow, that would be an interesting build. I can't say that I've heard of that before, I would love it if my is300 had awd.

 

Have you looked into parting out a sportcross, I know these cars are much more uncommon but it's possible the drivetrain from a sportcross could be plug and play into the sedan.
