Default 4wd on a civic?

i was wondering if any of you had experience with doing a 4wd conversion on a civic a buddy of mine i hoping to put out a good amount of hp with his civic and is wondering how much trouble it would be to do it.. im thinkin we could use a crv trans and rear axles/end to do it. what do you think?

i believe that Honda Tuning is doing one on a Teg one problem you will prolly run iton is clearence maybe manking a new tunnel for the driveshaft to go through and redoing the WHOLE rear end of a CRV driveline VERY VERY VERY weak no **** the CV joints are like 2 inches around very very weak stuff but anything is possible with money.

Would you even be able to run in any street class with a setup like that? they do require stock type driveline for your car and that is not stock type for a civ.

if you really want an AWD civic...

since you're going to fab everything anyway, why not swap the drivetrain out of an AWD mitsu?

I've read the same article. Their doing it to two Integras. First is a project to make sure everything is matched up right. Then the final will be done on the second chassy they have.

jcarothers : I've heard that the 4WD systems from 80's Civics are interchangeable to 4th Gen Civics. With of course modification.

This has been covered many times.

There was a awd integra, but the tranny was not built to withstand high hp and torque.

If you wanted awd why didn't you get a subaru? Oh yeah, stupid question, v-tech is the ****
