Default Rocket Bunny K24 Turbo 4WD EG Build

Hi Everyone i am going to be doing a build thread on my Honda Civic EG, i am converting it to 4WD and putting a K24 in it and running a wide body kit in it (Rocket Bunny).

I have just started to strip the car out and starting to get it prepped for paint, as I wait for the rocket bunny kit to be delivered which is a 2-3 month wait for myself. When I first got the car pretty standard with a b18c

Firstly I was testing out some new brakes and brake lines and also upgrading the bushes and suspension and also the shifter linkage and bushes on the b18 to see if I would stick with this engine. I also got a tegiwa 4-2-1 manifold and a AEM V2 long arm intake.

Nice! I'm interested in seeing how you choose to set up the rear differential for this! Which K24 are you planning to use?

I am using a 4WD kit from America and got a few ideas with them what diff I want to use. I have my eyes open for a k24a2 block.

The 4WD kit I am going to be using is from this website.

And the Rocket Bunny kit I got from this website.

I will be using brembos 6 pot brakes with 17 inch rims which will be 5 stud.

So here is just some pictures of all the interior etc inside the car before I start to strip it all out and start prepping for its paint job.



Just took the radiator off just due to the cold weather to flush out all the water etc.

That AWD kit looks slick. Is it pretty much bolt in? And will you have any problems with the exhaust?

yeah looks interesting I phoned them up etc and with the bolt on kit the main thing modifying wise is you have to remove the tyre well from the boot and relocate the exhaust to the left hand side some have done it to the right but easier to do it to the left so av been told so will see how this goes.

the car will be going in for paint in May etc and that' when the real build starts.

Clean looking eg. K24 and awd will be pretty sweet.


Wide body, meh. Should keep it stock cosmetically.

More room for fat tires tho. Between good tread width and AWD he could throw as much torque at this as he wanted and it would actually hook. That'd be a beautiful thing in a 2.4L Honda engine.

So today was taking all the plastics out and the front dash so I can start to cut Part of the shell inside and also the inside of the doors. After that I will be starting so sand down the inside getting it ready for paint.
