There is alot involved to this swap. The most difficult I think is the rear trailing arms. You need to use the wagovan hubs but the trailing arms are too long and the upper control arm mounting point is too high. We used the front half from the civic, the rear from the wagovan and fabricated our own upper control arm mounts. The stock subframe where the lower control arms mount needs to be removed. We welded plates with threaded inserts on the framerails to mount the wagovan subframe, which bolts on. On the next one we do we will use the wagovan tunnel also.

this is exactly what I found with my swap, The trailing arms were kinda ugly to fab. If I was to redo mine I would do many things different. It works great and I have no problems but I made too much work for my self in a few areas. My drive train survived many 12 psi 8000rpm launchs under my wagon and its still loving it under my hatch, I dont know why everyone talks about it being crazy weak when not many people have even run this set up. Props to you guys

WOW, AWD EF + 2300 lbs and 400hp is insane... I can't wait to see what it does on the track. People will be confused cause you'll be on street tires owning FWD cars with slicks LOL

Re: (661rex89si)
OMG i never thought i'd see another 4wd civic set-up into another EF especially in the forced induction section. people knock 4wd drivetrain but this is comeing from people who have never even been in a 4wd wagon. my wagon was boosted all sumer running 14lbs and i was always launching it off the 2 step and i never broke a dam thing. my crx with the right turbo should be able to make numbers close to yours too bad we dont live close we could have a 4wd showdown haha. in my sig is the way i made my crx 4wd its not quite done but it should be about a month till i can drive her. mad props
mad props
