Rear wheel drive?

It’s seems as though this transfer case borg Warrener 48-13 is available in part time 4X4 variants. Also if you can “split the torque” which is a funny concept to wrap my head around, why not plait it 1/99 so you can do burnouts. There’s been people that pulled the fuse on the electric engaging mech, and they achieved RWD (on the track hawks, not TRX yet.) this tells me this should be able to be achieved through tuning.
Thoughts??! Just trying to have fun drifting, burnouts etc...

I'm curious about this too. I would rather not turn the front end when doing mundane daily driving, better mpg and less wear on the front end.

did anyone work out if this was possible?

You can get 2WD with the Tazer DT I believe.

Of course the Aussie wants it to do some skids! haha

According to research done by Audi, a driving wheel uses less energy than a driven wheel, so there would be no potential mpg gains.
Tests converting 203 (full-time) transfer cases to part time 4WD backed up those claims.

And since everything would still be turning anyway, there wouldn't be much of a reduction in wear.

In the old days when you could unlock the hubs and remove all the drivetrain parts from spinning that would probably help. But with the modern setups its probably minimal since most of the drivetrain parts are spinning anyways.

Not only minimal, but counterproductive.

correct! . don't want one unless it's RWD capable!

perfect thanks. this one seems to do the lot https://www.zautomotive.com/product/z_tzr_dt/#accessories just not sure if there any dangers associated with disconnection of front drivetrain... besides normal donut damage

Yeah. Generally good feedback but I skipped out cause don't wanna risk any warranty claims issues

Good point I guess you would need unlocking hubs along with transfer 2wd.
