    The 'wheel drive' bit is based entirely off what gearbox/transfer box is used, for example Nissan Pulsar Gti-r uses an SR20DET whereas a 200SX S14 uses the same engine.

    Yes, this won't be much of an issue.
    If you get an RB25DET out of a Series 1 or Series 2 4wd C34 Stagea (most are) then you'll have the sump already configured for 4wd. Drop in an R32/R33GTR RB26DETT 4wd gearbox and associated gubbins then you're all good to go.

    Oh when could I find RB25DET 4wd? RB26DETT is so fucking expensive.. and what about SR20DET?
    My idea is put some engine on SUBARU IMPREZA 2.0D 2011 with stroker kit.

    Good luck fitting a 6 cylinder into Scooby's engine bay, without relocating the rad etc.

    Why not just fit a Scooby petrol turbo engine?

    Exactly, its like deciding that youre going to climb a mountain, and then deciding to do it in a dressing gown and slippers, the view will still be the same at the top so why make it difficult for yourself ;)
