🏁 Get your car to hook up on prepped or unprepped surfaces!

Transform your IS300 into an All-Wheel-Drive or 4WD configuration. Each kit from AWD Engineering is precision-fabricated and built to order using high grade materials and geometry developed through extensive testing. We did all the R&D to ensure your AWD setup drives OEM+ .

We did NOT use any rare, discontinued JDM-only parts. Every serviceable component (such as wheel bearings, axles, differentials, etc.) are still widely available and very affordable, ensuring you can service your car at home or the track. While this kit is bolt-on, professional installation is highly recommended.

Additional components are required to complete the full AWD conversion — details below.

I had shops quote me anywhere from $50,000 to $150,000 for a custom AWD conversions due to fabrication complexity, labor and custom parts needed. We invested years of R&D to create an affordable, OEM-like bolt-in solution so every JZ enthusiast can experience AWD performance and we can take out godzilla head-to-head.

Other AWD IS300 builds rely on discontinued rare JDM parts costing $30,000+ for imported components alone, and still require extensive chassis modification. Our AWD JZ kit, however, bolts directly to factory IS300 mounting points and our AWD JZ Oil sump bolts directly RWD 2JZ/1JZ blocks, with improved oil pickup design and baffling for consistent oil pressure under hard launches.

What’s Included:

(All parts are patent pending)
• Custom AWD Front Subframe (1): Heavy duty custom AWD subframe that bolts into factory mounting points on the IS300 chassis.
• Custom AWD Sump (1): Bolt-on AWD JZ oil pan designed for RWD 1JZ/2JZ blocks, featuring integrated baffling, integrated oil pickup, and 10AN oil drain
• Custom AWD Spindles with LS460 adapter Brackets(2): Pair includes built-in roll-center correction and LS460 big brake compatibility (uses IS-F rotors and LS460 calipers that you source separately).
• Custom AWD Engine Brackets (2): Provide clearance for factory A/C lines and front differential.
• Custom AWD Engine Mounts (2): Low-profile polyurethane mounts for vibration isolation and OEM fitment. Easily serviceable bushings
• Custom AWD Steering Subframe (1) & Custom Inner Tie Rods (2): Custom steering rack subframe and custom tie rods designed for the Yaris steering rack conversion. (if you wish to keep power assisted steering you must convert your steering column to the Yaris/Prius electric steering rack). The Yaris steering rack (sourced separately) is required for front differential clearance on LHD cars). RHD IS300 owners please contact us directly for a RHD specific setup
• Custom AWD Lower Control Arms (2): Fully Adjustable with Chromoly Heim joints.

Transmission Compatibility:

Your Transmission must support a transfer case! If it does not you will need to create a custom setup or find an alternative transmission option. Common options: 4L80E(4wd), TH400(4wd), 6l80e(4wd), ZF 8HP (xDrive), 10r80(4wd) or custom T56 AWD setup. Choice depends on power, budget, and fitment. We are working on a custom T56 Magnum F AWD setup but it is currently in R&D and testing. Contact us for recommendations.

Fitment & Installation Notes:

• Tunnel trimming or hammering will likely be required depending on drivetrain setup.
• Professional installation required — verify torque specs and wheel alignment after installation.
• Very minor drilling(1-2mm) of shock towers to fit IS250 AWD Front Coilovers may be required.
