Rob!

hey guys, ive been seriously considering this because i love my crv and i want to use it to tow my integra racecar with a tow dolly. i dont have to tow far with it. i would like to use a h23 longblock, the h2b adapter and the crv auto awd transmission. does anyone know if this could work? what axles would i use? has anyone done this? any info at all would be appreciated.

im sure you would use stock axles, and everything b series with the expception of h series longblock and the adapter kit...i would seriously like to see this im sure there would to be some kind off fabbing required, but it's deff. possible with the right amount of time.

does the crv have a half shaft? thats the only concern along with framerail clearance. h2b cars use b-series half shafts with b-series axles and gsr motor mounts all the way around.
edit:beat me to it

high_revs

should have a halfshaft, you would prob have to use auto halfshaft and axles either way, right? lol

If the half shaft is different you will need to fab up a half shaft adapter plate.

which will suck..., but the end product sure would be fun...did crv's ever come 5 speed?

2fast4u831

dont think they did

they do, also come in AWD 5spd!!! and the half shaft on the 5spd is the same as anyother 94+ integra

I thought of this swap for my '88 crx, a cRx with a H22A AwD 5spD would be sick, but the rear end is just too weak for my taste!

2fast4u831

too much of a hassle IMO.

Rob!

they come in 5speed. i think i could do it if i ever did a h2b swap but i dont have any experience with it. i dont know how it works and i dont have a ton of time for the car to be out of commision. it sure would be an awesome tow vehicle. im not concerned about how fast it is. i just want to keep my car and be able to use it to tow

high_revs

well im in jersey and have experience with h2b, i'd be willing to give you a hand if you were to actually do it...i've seen you at a couple of meets b4

runsfromdacops

dose the crv tranny use a cable shitlinkge? if so you cant use the h2b plate,for the same reson you cant use the kit in a accord.

if you use the CRV tranny in the CRv it will work the only thing you will be changing is the motor

That auto tranny will go to hell very quickly if you're towing. I wouldn't mess with it.
Go 5spd and you have another story.

I got a AWD CrV 5spd tranny with a welded front diff 4 sale... IM for details if anyone is interested, only 31K miles on it.

The_Head

wouldn't you only be gaining like 20 hp by switching from a B20 to H23 block?

high_revs

soo...you'd be gaining torque as well and later on you can just throw on a vtec head that would be sick, h23vtec2b crv lol
