Impressive!
Now the question is why to do this when, the Steyr Puch Syncro system, especially on a t3, especially with it's dual lockers, (and some light modifications, where and if needed), is better than Quattro.
You are welcome at: vwsyncro.eu , when you can find, between others, some comparisons, Syncro/Quattro, Syncro/Haldex.
Better? Maybe for your use it is better. A lot of guys don't used their Syncros for heavy off-roading and want the advantage of Quattro for use in the snow or rough gravel or fire-roads to get to a great camp-site.
The big advantage is now it uses the easily available and affordable 5 speed transmission.
No more searching for the stock syncro transmission, they are getting very expensive and hard to find. Also it has very nice gearing for highway use.

Here: http://www.vwsyncro.eu/p/blog-page_91.html ,you can see some
narrations of two persons who use alternately quattro-syncro, (syncro with edl on the front and free rear diff), cars on snow and, both, have the feeling that quattro on snow is inferior.
There is a technical reason for that, which is that the Syncro system simulates the behavior of a central differential which has the one output, (front or rear depends on the car architecture), always locked and the second output locked at the extend needed and when and where is necessary.
This behavior is tremendously efficient in all the cases without exceptions.

Quattro system has no solid connection to the one, primary, axle, as Syncro does, and this is already a bottle neck for the transfer of the torque/power.
On the other hand, as you can see in the videos of this link, under specific circumstances, cannot decide to send the power where is really needed.
In order to have better gearing for the high way you can, easily, change some gears, in conjunction with a high power motor, not only for the economy but making them stronger, too.

Now if the Quattro is cheaper, o.k., this is a good reason to choose it.
Maybe it is not for you, I've been using this system on my own Syncro for the past 3 years and 20k miles, I'm very happy with it.
Right, and do you know how much a Syncro costs in the US? Maybe in Greece they are giving them away but here they are closer to $30K. The US only got about 5000 Syncros. And even if you have one, the parts, especially transmissions, are becoming very difficult to find. And then you are afraid to use them because you are afraid the parts will break.
So this guy turned his van into a reliable 5-speed 1.8t AWD, one where he can now get cheap and reliable parts very easily, for around $10K and you are saying he should just go get a Syncro? You are either ignorant of the US market for these vehicles or ignorant in general.
"Ignorant in general" looks nice.
I' ll choose it.
Thank you.

«Hola
Alberto M. ¡Gracias por tus comentarios! A mí tambien me extrañó al
principio el tema de que se pudiera alcanzar casi el 100% en el eje
trasero, pero es lo que encontré en toda la información que estuve
recopilando para preparar este articulo. En concreto, en la web «The all
wheel drive encyclopedia» en el enlace dedicado a Volkswagen
-https://www.awdwiki.com/en/volkswagen/-, en el apartado «Golf Mk2
Syncro, Passat B3, B4, Sharan Syncro» indican lo siguiente «…The
coupling locks when slipping occurs and up to near 100% of torque is
automatically transferred to rear axle…». Por otra parte, en la revista… Leer más »

Gracias por explicarlo

Nice article!
Yes, the Syncro system transfers up to 100%, and this is one of the reasons why it is better than Haldex and than Quattro.
Please have a look here: http://www.vwsyncro.eu/p/blog-page_5.html

(Please, come in to see comparisons between Haldex, Quattro and Syncro on various circumstances and models).

Thanks for the info.

You are welcome!

What did you done to the suspension? Pneumatic system?
Invitado
Preferring a permanent body lift, (for passive safety and durability), a 5cm lift kit is installed, front and rear.
Editor
Passive safety? Do you mean bad road network?
Invitado
No.
I mean that I don΄t like the phenomenon of the crushed passive defense
of a car because there is a mismatching of the bumpers height.
It is described by IIHS in this, (and many others), video:
