4ksq turbo conversion

[Ken Keith]

Hmmm...

I'm a bit excited.  I'm working on picking up an '87 5kta, which will 
be used for the motor for my 4ksq instead of my '88 5kcstq.

I was just realizing that if I wanted to go to 5 bolt hubs on the 
4kstq, then I can probably use the front strut housings from the 
automatic fwd, and then drill the rear hubs.  Is it that easy?  I 
realize I'd want to remove the stock perches in front, and make the 
4ksq strut inserts fit the housing a la a shimming tube or 
something, and other miscellaneous fitment things like the ball 
joints or whatever in front, but I don't actually need a "quattro" 5kt 
to do this, do I?

I may need some 5kt rear driveshafts tho', to work with the front 
housings.  Or do I?  Can I just use the fwd 5kt driveshafts, or are 
they too long due to the track width?

Let me just confirm what I think I know about using auto cars for 
donors:  I have to get a flywheel, and swap the pilot bearing in the 
driveshaft.  The computers are the same, in that I will be able to put 
a 1.8 bar chip in it?  Are there any other differences?

This is so freaking cool.  If this works out, then I will not have to 
cannibalize my '88 5kcstq, which is actually very nice.  I pretty 
much decided that if I keep a Type44, then I will get a later model 
with the newer dash and door handles (and engine/ignition system 
et al), if not a '91 20vt.

Do 5kt automatic fwd's have G60's up front?

And I'll actually have two running cars while I do the swap!  Tee hee!

Damn! :-)

Thanks all!
