i know the wheelbase of the 4 door is about 3in longer than the 2 door and the 4 dr wb (atleast looking at it) looks as ong as the CRV, so if one could swap the CRV drivetrain parts into a 4dr integra couldnt you essentially make a 4wd 4dr integra?

has anyone tried this? would it work or am i on crack thinking this would even be possible?

Time and money are the key!

JeremyL

shouldnt really be that big a deal since the tranny is coming off a B20 and would bolt up to a b18, the CRV has independent suspension so its not like ud be dealing with solid axles

i would be very susrprised if noone has ever tried this

eh-D

I've sat behind a crv in traffic thinking the exact same thing, but the stance on the CRV is at least 6 to 8 inches higher than an integra. I don't think the geometry would work out in the rear of the integra. Honda did make an AWD integra in japan though...

I dont think anyone wants a 130 hp AWD teg. I say this because supposedly the drivetrain cant handle much more torque than the stock crv. Any more power and you will have differential soup.

gsr squirrel

thats what i would think. don't see the differential handling much power at all.

JeremyL

i seriously doubt that any increase in power would destroy it, im sure a CRV drivetrain could handle 200whp

anyone ever try to mate up a DSM drivetrain?

dohcsideSi

wrong..plus it's a waste of time and money it's realtime 4wd not awd and not true 4wd.

JeremyL

and also not every hp goes to one differential

in one of the mags i read i think it was hci they put a gsr head on a crv with no problems. i bet it had close to 200 hp and more weight which would be a lot harder on it than in a teg.

let's here more about that jdm awd integra. Where can i read more about it?

samagon

it was a prototype thing, no pics, no official word, just rumors.

it was done in the early 90s.

hello? crv? aka, AUTOMATIC! a freakin fwd manual can beat a awd auto any day!

vtecmissle

thats why david burschur uses an auto on his eclipse which is rwd because it is slower. in the overall horsepower gain the big guys are already making too much power and consistency is the key to winning and an auto lets you do that. and a properly built automatic only looses 10 to 15 percent horsepower and usually puts a great deal of torque to the ground. now stock to stock the stick will have the auto beat but in a racing situation the auto has its advantages. and the only reason we dont see imports using autos much is because factory import autos are weak and our engines lack the torque required to use them efficiently. also stall would have to be set at the torque peak which is sometimes around 5000 rpm or higher.

No, actually, they did make B20 CR-Vs in a manual tranny... A manual in an AWD though, idunno. Anyways, the AWD isn't any decent AWD at all. It's a "realtime AWD" as Honda puts it, which is all FWD until something slips and then the rears kick in. The benefits? Gas mileage and simplicity. The bad? It's probably good for nothing except getting out of snow and maybe some light launches.

u guys have a good idea but are not taking it all the way!!
how bout RWD integra!!!!!
u can just disconnect the front axles and there we go, a RWD intera
somethining i dream every night about

ingrate

aren't the AWD integras powered by a 1.6 SOHC VTEC engine?

johnisenglish

Yes, I believe they are. I think they're only 4 door too...
Here's some info on it: http://www.team-integra.net/sections...?ArticleID=478

a lot of people told me when i started my turbo project to just go buy a 1g DSM and build that up, i dont always buy into statements like that but in this case im thining it would be better to just go buy a DSM if you want a small AWD turbo car

hell it would probably be easier to fab up a DSM drivetrain to an Integra

AWD integras exist in japan, but the prototype supercharged (by honda) one doesn't.
