What do you need to put 4ws on a fifth gen??? Can you just use the fourth gens rear end or is it contolled by the ECU? Just fyi

It would be easier to get the parts designed for the 5th Gens - JDM, Aussies and Europe all offered 4ws.

get the parts designed for the 5th gen, but it has nothing to do with the ECU, there is a seperate computer for it.

So all you would have to do is wire a JDM 4ws rack and it would work on a SH since it has a seperate computer??

I think you're oversimplifying the install a bit...

Why are you asking anyway? You're not seriously thinking of doing this are you?

Cost wise it is astrnomical! Don't bother! Think of all that weight too! I know what you guys are like!!!

bb6flier · 05-24-2002, 01:21 AM

I'm not planning on doing this, I think it would be overkill for the SH and might actually hurt performance. I am just curious...

Here is the computer controlled gear mechanism. Glitched on me once and stuck straight, but I just restarted the engine and it has been fine since!

I have other mods, once I can get to the track again I'll post it as a comparo "Evo vs. Thermal" Sorry if my sig is misleading, I'll fix it...

lol. sorry if i came off as being critical but it was more along the lines of "the force is strong with this one"

If you are interested in a 4ws conversion on a 5th gen, do a search under my posts for 4ws. I researched this, and you'd be better off trying to import a 5th gen 4ws from another country. It is NOT an easy job, and you need a ****load more than just a rear rack and computer.

marcucci,

i've seen you mention this kinda stuff about 4ws time and time again.

why were you so interested in adding it on a 5th gen? do you think it would have helped that much?

just curious

fyi, now that i'm used to the feel, i really like it.
