AWD-T EG Hatch build
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

Re: AWD-T EG Hatch build
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

Re: AWD-T EG Hatch build
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.
