In short. NO.

why would you even want to put atts into a base?

You could alway's just buy a LSD and put that in instead. You'll get better benefits out of that then the LSD.

...no....

not without tons of time, money and regret

dont you mean he'll get better benefits out of the limited slip than the atts? lol

No it can't be done. The SH not only has a different trans, but a slightly different block (so you'll need an SH engine too) not to mention all the extra sensors, extra control unit, dash lights, et al. Oh, I almost forgot, the steering rack, strut tops and much of the front suspension is different too.

thanks again

...but dont say it CANT be done..

but it can be done.

I disagree with you there, they way I understand the system, it cannot be retrofitted to a car that doesn't have it, even if you have all the parts.

Though I've never actually tried it.

I just recently did my clutch on my 99 SH, it was pretty intense. I actually kinda regret buying the SH. But after the regret passes, I actually enjoy the car. Mind you I won't be doing anything crazy with it. It's kinda like the 4WS prelude's.

The ATTS unit bolts onto the block, so the block is totally different and and their is a halfshaft to the transmission. The engine is a H22A4 not a H22A and the transmission is different as well.

If you're looking to do some major changes, the atts can have issues above 250HP, from what I've read.

it can be done, time and money. nothings impossible.

A LSD would be far more cost-effective, as previously stated.

if you really wanted to, couldnt you just swap an entire SH engine, tranny, comp, etc into a base?

Refer to above post regarding the fact that much of the front suspension (including things like the strut towers) are slightly different.

sh!t man i didnt even see that part, sorry

i shall grace you all with my presence.............

why the hell do you want atts?

so when it goes all the money you put into putting it in your car you gotta repair it? get lsd and call it a day.

lol, can it be done? not prolly 100% like they come out of factory but yes $1000's of dollars could lead to that being done, and lots and lots of down time.

should you do it? no, your probably going to want to go boost then realize i wasted money on this crap..

or you could get yourself a nice cosmetic upgrade,
(lip kit, body kit, hood, spoiler, rims, paint etc..)
or a very very nice sound system for the money your going to pay with putting on atts on a base

ATTS sucks, my friend has it on his SH and i hate it!!!

not worth it. nothing bolts right up. block design is dif. the only thing that is the same is the head. im dealing with ERL now cuz they sent me a built "type-SH_it" block instead of a base block. just go lsd. you plan to take it down a mountain or auto X or something?

Quaife makes a good LSD from what I've read. You don't need ATTS when there is a much easier out. Also jtrizzo is correct in his post to the effect that if you are going to do serious engine mods, turbo/super then your LSD/ATTS would break quickly anyway so don't waste the $ if that is your plan.

On that note if you are just going to do the old header, intake, exhaust stuff to it then LSD will be nice for handling go ahead and go for it.
