I just got a B12 wagon just like yours!! Anyway I can pick at your brain a bit? LMK, I'd love to do a swap in this car, it deserves better than a SOHC throttle injection engine.

I am here Ryan,

Yes you will need to use the original GA16i flywheel and the original 200 mm 4WD clutch. The GA16DE's 190mm clutch and flywheel will not work. Hey got any pics of your car? The 89's are fairly rare.

Apparently they made them in 1990 as well? Yes, I have pictures of it, I will post them tonight. would there be any way you could fix the links that you have on your other posts too?

I wish I could. For reasons unbeknownst to me, the editing feature is turned off on this sight after a short period of time nowadays. Something to do with knucklheads screwing around. There always seems to be a few bad apples.....

I have never seen a '90 4WD wagon. Has anyone else?

P.S. Does your car have a tach?

Wow,

I thought someone took pictures of my car........

The 4WD wagons were only available in the XE trim level and did not have tachs. I upgraded mine with a factory tach cluster from a GXE model.

Thanks for that link which shows the specs of the car. I didn't remember that they were rated at 23-25 mpg. Mine actually gets 30 mpg quite easily with the GA16DE, but that is partially because I drive the car in 2WD all year, except for winter. The 4WD definately costs power and therefore fuel mileage. Each Spring, I remove the rear driveshaft [which weighs about 60 lbs.] and put the transfer case into 2WD.

Ryan,

Your car looks really nice! What state are you in, how many miles are on it, and what did you pay for it?

SENTRASER · May 16th, 2006, 04:53 PM

Updated sig, it has 90,500 miles on it now, it had 88,000 on it when I got it. Weird, I was looking at the database I have on it at work, and it shows the 4wd avaliable in GXE with a diffrent center console, I cant seem to find any power windows or power mirrors for it though. How hard was it to convert it to the GXE instrument cluster? The car was about 2 states away from you when I bought it, it was in Pittsburgh, PA. I got it for $2235 or something like that, I know I paid premium, but I knew how rare it was, and I wanted it BAD.

Thanks for the complements, it does have a bit of rust, but not really visiable unless you look close, the good news is my pops runs a body shop, so I can fix it there.

Well it's six years later and the same GA16DE is still going strong. Only now, it's a GA16DET.

I'll start a new thread with the details, but I always knew I'd come back to this thread and answer dundee's suggestion some day.

blownb310 · Feb 9th, 2008, 01:08 PM

HERE'S the new thread. I appropriately posted it in the Forced Induction section.

nice work!!!! Kinda makes me wish I didnt sell my Sentra 3 months ago!

TOOQIKK · Sep 17th, 2009, 06:07 PM

i am inspired! i have an extra gtir tranny laying around(hehe) and have a gti-r long block on the motor stand, and the wiring harness, and a jwt reworked ecu laying around.....hmm
to do the sr2o awd swap i would also get the gtir front bar for the front motor mount and weld that in...my pulsar does not have that stupid cross member in it! and taking the motor out and putting it in is a breeze all the mounts you can get to standing!!
now should i put the parts back in my pulsar or give the wagon a heart transplant?
and I will be looking for a subie rear for the lsd and axle swap for both cars!
