There's a fair bit of wiring involved too, as there's no connector present on the loom for the controller; we ended up running new wiring (stripped from another donor) - that was the least pleasant part of the job and isn't for people that are faint of heart. Sit down with a wiring diagram and the 6 or so wires yourself. If I did it again. Also, fuel gauge doesn't work properly until you recode car as 4x4...

Anyways I wrecked my car and got a GTI but one of the guys with the hybrid swap in his GLI has gone on to doing an AWD swap and he's just about done with it. So a mk6.5 gli making near 500whp due to being swapped to mqb AND its awd. Just though I'd share a cool project with you guys.

    Great video, thought the RWD series was hilarious. Spent about a week being delusional thinking about converting my B6 6MT 2.0T Passat Wagon to haldex because VR AWD's are hard to find in Canada, but bought a clapped out VR Touareg instead. Probably the same cost / pain in the long run.

      I converted a 1.8T B5 Passat to RWD using an E46 BMW 320d rear end and a Ford Sierra Type 9 Gearbox.. It required me to cut the rear floor pan and make 2 new mounts for the rear subframe but other than that it was stupidly easy and pretty cheap. The most expensive part of it all was getting a prop shaft made to length tbh.. all in, (that's the price of the Passat, including hybrid turbo, injectors and other supporting mods + all the parts for the RWD swap) it cost less than 5k for a unique 300hp RWD car. I've since sold the car but from what I've heard, it's still going strong.

    As I understand it the 3rd gen Haldex went into a few Volvo models, V8 and some T6 XC90s as well as the V8 S80. Fun fact, Volvo went hard on gen 2 Haldex used it in a bunch of mid 2000's models, S40, V50, S60, V70, etc. As far as I know gen2 and gen3 are mechanically identical. The controller software is different, but parts are swap-able. I know all of this because I'm AWD swapping a C30(it's a thing, you can find out about it on the internet).
    I will take a look at my Gen2/3 hybrid and see how similar they are to the VW stuff you shared. I'm curious to know if VW haldex controllers work on the Volvo units.

    If you were to use a DSG 02E on a mkv gti wouldn't you only need to get a transfer case and spindle from a mkvr32?

    Ok let say I have a 16 Passat 3.6. Those years didn't come AWD but the older 12 did but those from what I can tell used the o9g auto garbage. So what if I want to AWD swap the 16 Passat keeping my dsg and add some turbos. Would this still be a dumb swap?

    2 maybe 3 awd projects planned. Miata maybe with a Honda awd set up like civics for racing use keep the hp low ish like 350. More likely just a rwd engine swap.
    2 deffs at some point awd plans. 4 door gtst to gtr conversion. Either with an rb30 block with 25 or 26 heads. Or a custom rb30 rb26 and 2jz hybrid from Australia. Or potentially a newer v6 style gtr or z platform engine. Upgraded awd system based off attessa but electronic and faster scanning and more programmable.
    350z awd with a gtr style awd system but using some g35 bits. Gtr transmission and transfer case. G35 bits for the front suspension and hubs. Some stock 350z suspension bits. 350z engine but built. Maybe upgrade to an r35 engine. Widebody kit and extra rubber in the rear should help a bit with the added front weight. Since race car show car daily sports car. Eventually some custom or aftermarket suspension bits to reduce weight back to stock in the front. Weigh less than a skyline same awd system but now more programmable and can turn it off at will to rwd for drifting. Interior has to partially be re done but still looks factory so aftermarket bits can be used to make some of it easy. Since aftermarket gtr awd bits for sensors and computers and aftermarket ecus and other stuff. Means some reduced weight off the system and space. And reduced space off the stock ecu and wiring. Hide a mini car computer diy in it. Ssd storage and a connection to the ecu for tuning. Add in a sim card reader and attena and bam diy car wifi.
    Some of the stuff for the 350 also applies to the gtr conversion. Reduces weight increases performance and actually saves money long term on the conversion and build. Improves reliability. But both projects are gonna require so much build time and work.
    Basically instead of paying big money for certain oem gtr bits. You can spend similar sometimes less or only a little more for huge upgrades. Aftermarket billet transfer case and the aftermarket upgraded transmissions being examples. Though the lighter car means less stress starting with something 1000whp capable on an awd gtr means its done besides bear sets on the 350z. And should require less maintenance and servicing.
    Daily 4 door suoer car slayer family car. Lighter smaller more sporty looking 2 seater coupe super car slayer. Both at probably 800 to 1000whp for like 50k each or less depending. Skyline cost a bit more since I want it done right and might use some r35 bits.
    Can find a good clean manual 350z in buildable condition for 5k or less. Even expensive option with the 16-18k sequential or dct transmissions. Say 23k, billet transfer case I think was 3k. If I remember correctly the other attesa bits was like 2k for the upgraded one. The g35 bits not that expensive I'd say probably 5k at most.
    Body work 2 days so figure a couple grand at worst.
    Ecu couple grand for fancy one.
    All out engine and turbo. Like 10k on engine work 7k turbo set up
    Diy you could probably into it on all brand new bits for like 50k and be pumping pretty high horse power awd. Potentially less.
    One of the cheaper transmissions options. See about a stock transfer case from Nissan maybe a nismo upgraded one is available for less.
    But then you also have a bunch of spare bits to sell. And I'd you get one with the body work for a widebody already done cheap and or some turbo and engine work you might not need as much. If you can build the engine yourself and put together a cheaper turbo set up.
    If you can get the g35 bits cheaper than I guessed which is probably the case.
    Skyline starts where I live for a gtst for like 10k. Add like 30k for the engine from aussie but good for thousands of hp. Just need some turbos. Rest is very similar except a few more expensive gtr bits. And the necessary body work.
    But last I checked like 60 to 70k. Maybe more depending how fancy you go. Might be able to save a bit in some places.
    Lowest I figured the awd 350z conversion would be like 35k ish meaning potentially sub 40k. Lowest for the gtr like 55k ish.
    350z more stock. Gtr still pretty custom and the closer you get to factory gtr for certain shit the more money. Especially if you want built factory gtr. Custom highly built gtr with a bunch of factory shit removed and new interior cheaper.
    For my gtr a little bit more given left hand drive conversion. But less than if I was trying to fully emulate the stock interior. The touch displays are dying and annoying to replace. So custom infotainment. But still inspired off the stock just modernized like a resto mod.
    Plus the 4 door Skyline perfect family car for the r34. Big car anyways why not take advantage of the 4 door life. Diy car computer also means easy to do diy headrest displays and other cool stuff.
    For the price of buying a gtr and building it to similar levels. I get something more custom. Just as fast or faster. More unique. And modernized everywhere almost. So show car race car daily car cause the gtr can be dailied when built right if you do regular maintenance which is reduced in cost my route. Plus a family car. 350z cheaper gtr that's a 2 seater and with the 350z body kits available you can make look very very sporty.
    Gtr kind of a sleeper. 350z a sleeper but in a completely different sense. And monsters are different to rwd monsters.
    Also means for the gtr I can build in a roll cage that's hidden super easy given it's a full rebuild. 350z leave alone to start. Extra strength and stiffness hidden so stock look except a few peekaboos and you can still have bolt in side bars for track days but cleaner and hidden mounts. And keeps passengers safer. Plus the 4 door body would have to be made stiffer for the doors. And the rear door front frame gives you a perfect spot to hide a side bar that runs vertical. Both side of the floor. Front pillars rear pillars frame between the front and rear doors covers roof sides floor and connects the whole chassis.
    Cause body work means paint. Do the bondo or body filler yourself properly. Thin down to bare metal as little as possible. Get a cheap maaco or similar paint job. Then polish and smooth out the paint yourself. Use as a cheap primer. Have nice final color coat and clear done on top but less work for the expensive painters to do.
    Because old gtst likely needs work you save some money going straight to conversion upgrades like lights as well. Upgraded straight to modern brighter leds. Any custom body kit stuff can also help versus getting high end stock body kit panels.

    I want to do this on my car but only because the volvo c30 does not come with AWD as an option but because it shares a platform with other volvo models that also have AWD equipped as an option makes an awd swap is supposedly a bolt on project with some modification to the wiring harness. Theres not many guide videos on that though just videos of people with the end result already done

    I drive an Audi A5 8F convertible. I associate a lot of beautiful memories with this car, and I've also revised a lot and tuned it. I prefer a manual switch ... unfortunately the A5 Cabriolet with the CNCD engine was never built as a quattro, but as an automatic version. The conversion would unfortunately be much too complex and might not work properly.

    The only time this swap makes sense to me is to swap to a car that was never AWD like a beetle.. If mine was AWD, I would have kept it instead of getting an S3. For exhaust, cheapest to get one close and then just mod it. e.g. I got a GTI exhaust off ebay, then cut off the outlets and modified to work for my Beetle.
