Sup ht? Started on my winter build a few months ago looking to have it running and driving by spring time. Little history on the car, I bought the car a little over a year ago with a k20a2 with a few bolt ons and daily drove it for a while. During the summer I installed a zex kit dry 50 shot car made 263whp and it was a blast! But as fall was approaching I decided I wanted another turbo car and I wanted to keep it simple and affective... So I started gathering parts and realized I wanted a little something out of the norm so I decided to make my car awd! Looking to make 400whp so much for being simple! Lol


When I daily drive the car


One time I brought the car the track full interior, full exhaust, pump gas, 50shot on 24.5's ran 11.8








Now onto the build

Engine

Stock a2 bottom end will arp rod bolts
Arp head studs
Hybrid tensioner
Stage 2 n/a cams
Super tech dual valve springs
Xesssive intake

Turbo setup

Sheepey t3 sidewinder
Ball bearing 6262
Tial 44mm gate
Tial 50mm bov
Precision core I'm building the end tanks

Driveline

Still deciding on a clutch
03 crv trans/t case
91 wagovan driveshaft, rear end, trailing arms


I sourced all the wagovan parts from a guy out of state that was parting out a whole car picked up everything I needed and some for $800 shipped to my door. First thing I had to do was build the trailing arms. The wagovan and civic trailing arms are very similar but once you start taking measurements there a quite a bit different. So what I did was built a jig for the factory civic trailing arm which gave me the mold to piece my customs arms together. I ended up using the front portion of the civic arm and the rear of the wagovan

For the tranny Im using a 03 crv 5speed trans and t case. The rsx and crv have the same bolt pattern for the trans mount to the body! Winning! But the rear mount to the subframe isn't. So I had to build my own


This weekend I spelt a little time on mocking up my intercooler end tanks, going to get material this week to finish them up. Piping should be here this week




Couple pics of the turbo mock up





I couldn't stand the color someone painted the interior of the car so I recently painted it gloss black and also mocked up my shifter box

Haha sorry man! But knowing people have interest will give me more ambition to keep going with it! And yes I'm working on better pics

Wow man I can't wait to see this build, I am very interested in how you are gonna mount the dif, not too much info out there about how people re secure the rear subframe. Hella stoked on this build. Can't wait to see it further along.

Your right there's only a few people out there that have done this, I have a few ideas in my head how I'm gonna go about it. Epic tuning in PA they have a eg coupe AWD that's looks very good! They def have inspired me a lot on my build! Yes! Stay tuned more progress is coming! Thank you for the interest!!

Please make like a write up, or atleast lots of pics of how you mount the rear diff, any parts you used, gauges of metal you use ect, I would really like to do this in the future.

Will do, I'm not expert on fab work but I consider myself to have a good eye when it comes to building stuff. But yes ill post up some good photos when I get to that part

Thanks man! That's a complement for sure, I really appreciate it! I've had this idea for many years and its finally coming to reality! I can't wait to be doing awd donuts in a civic Bahahhaha

In all honesty, that has got to be the cleanest rear trailing arm mash up I've ever seen for an AWD conversion. I think what I like about your approach is the simplicity of making a jig to fit your needs. Even the merging of the two arms and the new mounting point for the camber arm is so simple. This right here is the perfect example of K.I.S.S. Much props to you sir.

nice work. gotta keep my eye on this build

When making the car awd was just an idea after researching a bit I thought ehh building the trailing arms won't be so bad... When I acutally got the parts and looking at the stock arms and the wagon arms I started to feel overwhelmed and second guessed myself a bit. But I stepped back for a few days and put more thought into it and gave a call to John at epic tuning, building a jig was the only way it should be done. Building the jig and the first arm took me roughly 20 hours I'd say. I really appreciate your interest and thank you!!

looks like a pretty cool build so far. I'd rethink using those Megan racing camber arms. Their bushings aren't known for lasting very long. Just a heads up.

Thanks man!
