I wonder if is technicly possible to convert a 2008 to a 2010 with those option :

The extra 10 HP
The Diff system S-AWD ?

i like that new feature of the S-AWD because the tire dont spin that much if you press the gaz faster

I dont care spend a few 1000 for it, for that

 

Sell your 2008 and Buy a 2010...........

 

i still have to much to pay on it lol
but dont mine to pay a little Xtra to have the difference.

 

I agree

 

For the 4wd, you'll have to probably change the trannsfer case, driveshaft, axles, sensors, ecus, the console switch, wiring harness and so on and so forth.

for the extra hp, probably a new intake manifold or something like that, plus the new ecu....

Trade in the truck....the loss will be cheaper than trying to convert it.

 

I would just like to get the new fuse hands free link system. I would love to be able to stream bluetooth music.

 

Don't forget the idle neutral logic that automatically shifts to neutral at stop lights to save fuel. Thats new with the 2010 models.

 

The extra 10 HP, I think they optimized the engine. You can add things to optimize your engine too if you want.
The S-AWC, I don't think you can get one unless you buy a new 2010 Outlander GT... We suggest you to buy a new one if you like those...
Neutral Logic... Yea I like it too! But gas mileage is not my big concern...

 

You can't retro fit an older outtie with the s-awc system without paying huge bucks, if its even possible at all - that's why its cheaper to trade in and get a new one. $1000 I doubt would even buy you half of the parts, if they are even available, not to mention the labour and taxes. The closest you can come to limiting wheel spin at any given wheel is to install mechanical limited-slip diffs at both axles but I don't know how this may interfere with the e-diff. Driving the outside wheels on a turn faster than the inside wheels will require a lot of equipment, know-how and electronics, not to mention voiding your warranty for a feature you won't notice is operating. Good luck finding someone that can do this for a reasonable price.

For extra hp you have a few options under $1000 - talk to an tuner shop to see what your biggest bang for buck is, but $1000 still isn't all that much to play with.

 

I like the stitched leather panels inside, would be nice to retrofit them to my 2008.
