ok this is not a flame or a dis to you. I dont know you your skills or the depth of your pockets....But the amount of money and time that you will spend in doing this swap you could have bought a gsx and built pretty damn close to the hp you are looking to get and still have money left over. I am not saying that it is not possiable to do with enought time and money you can do anything but here is just few things

1. you will need a wrecked vr4 doner car( to try and peice all the parts off of one these cars would cost you and are and a dick)

2 modify the engine bay. Im sure stuff would need to be cut weldded and moved to get this to even remotly fit in there

3. contray to what you may belive just because they make the eclipse in awd puting awd in it is not so easy. Extrem or rre did a gst to gsx conversiona nd said they wouldnt do it agiand because the labor parts and time it took was more than you could buy an awd for.

i could sit here all day and list stuff that woudl need to be done but i think you get the point! if you have the timeskill and money Great!! i would love to see it when your done and will be the first to congradulate you on a job that i didnt think could be done! If not the rs would amke a great daily driver whhile you build something else sounds liek you got a good deal on it.
