Im planning on running the wagon into the ground, chassis-wise. Then, put the drivetrain in one of my two 4th gen 4drs. Looks to me like most of it will bolt up! Weld a bracket on in the middle of the exhaust tunnel, because the driveshaft uses a "halfshaft" type collar thing. Weld that onto the car, run the axles, whoalah. Oh ya, and 4 nuts to mount the rear subframe to

 

that is awesome. wouldnt mind having some sort of awd system on ye ol accord

keep up the good work

 

what kind of turbo is that?

 

its up there, read it

 

wicked.
dude , that motor cant possibly spool that turbo up??
lol

 

how much you wanna bet!?

if it does... let me know so i can go buy one for my setup... mmm sc61

 

go for it! itll pry start spooling at 5k, finish at redline

 

hahahaha nah ill stick to somethign smaller till i get $$$ to do the head and revv it higher. i duno if only 5000-7200rpm of boost is worth the bigger turbo

 

i dont think it is

im surprised not many people have looked into this for traction needs, the tranny is 6-speed too. 1 superlow gear, then the 1-5 speeds the superlow could be used for some killer 60 ft times
</TD></TR></TABLE>

not fulltime...realtime. on those wagons the power transfer comes off of the transmission through a driveshaft to the back. after that it goes through a Viscous coupling. this is probably the weakest link...it only sends power to the rear differential when there is a sizable difference in front to rear wheel speeds.


BTW ifr you decide to build those turbo manifolds in that configuration for A/C friendly Dseries let me know

Ill just weld the thing together then maybe when I swap it over to another car.

 

just what I like to see... a sohc, lol That must be a first for you, j/k.

 

for a personal car, yes it is. Jens car had an SOHC(the engine pictured) but I bought it after she smashed it and yanked it

 

the wagon is back, i owned this thing about three years ago and just saved it from rotting out in a field the other day. now i gotta get my red one back too. not sure on how the 4wd works but i have spun all 4 on pavment before and there is no lag time from front to back all 4 spin all the time. i am 99% sure that cody will break this thing before the first ice race anyway. peace out

 

lol...we are supposed to get around a foot of snow tonight too! Brakes should be fixed up, ready to go...AWD drifing fun, here we come
Rob(revhardracing) has a ZC in his, that was put in by muaw two years ago. That was still the baddest winter beater to date

 

hopefully the ponds will be frozen over by the time we get up there in December, got a tercel to donate on race day, just need to get some blizzaks

 

ount know...unless its colder than a witches titty from here on out, I aint drivin on now ponds up here till January. Id like to come back off the pond, even if the car is rolled a few times(caged, itll be kinda fun actually lol).

 

guess we'll have to settle for moto-sleds in dec and come back up in feb for the rally

 

lol, aight. Bring the civic You know you want to pull the Ebrake at 150+, go sliding across the lake uncontrollably for a half-mile snow and ice dont hurt anything, just the salt cover it up on the trailer while draggin it up here

 

I had one of those wagons a few years back... I loved it... ugly as hell, but a riot in the snow.... I kept thinking about turbo-ing it too, but just never felt motivated enough....

Nice to see that somebody decided to give it a whirl...

 

Theres a member on here, WagonMan I think. I know hes got the older 84-87 model, i think hes from down under too

 

theres an artical in honda tuning mag where there putting a cr-v 4wd in a 94 integra. ive always wanted to do something like that. you should check it out, i know you could fab it up.


btw- any thoughts on making the sst a/c compatible in h22 4th gen prelude? i want one, but may get the sidewinder insted since im a ***** and wont get rid of my a/c

 

lol...4wd would be easy...you havent seen my twin h22 del sol post yet? hehe.
I figured out a shift-adapter for linkage-shifting trannies, so one of my 4drs is getting the M-E treatment. All motor daily driver, but I think itd be cool to own a whole fleet of mid-engine/twin engine cars, LOL.
I could make a one-off SST, but I wont be producing them.

 

I think it's funny that you guys make fun of DSM's, and then when someone comes up with an AWD civic, it's the greatest thing ever. We've known this for years. )

(I'M JUST JOKING!)

Tinker- If you have problems with the viscous coupling taking too long to lock up, you can easily weld it into one piece and have a straight power transfer. You just want to drain the fluid out of the VC, and then weld the two halves together, it should make sense when you take it apart.

Take it out in the snow, you'll have more fun than you can imagine. Boost + snow + AWD = heaven.
