Anything is possible with enough money. But likely, no, this is not going to happen.

It's been done. They even had AWD Integras and Civic's overseas. You could modify a CRV drivetrain to work with enough time and money invested as well.

Is it worth it? No. Are you going to make enough power with that B16 to warrant AWD? Most likely not.

Yeah its not worth it. The CRV will work but I dont think the suspension and drivetrain fits on a civic. A lot of customization and fabrication. Also look at CRV rear axles.they are puny. they are not made for lots of torque, i dont think. but hey if you got enough money to spend then go ahead. Prolly be almost as expensive as a WRX haha

it's been done with CRV components before. The CRV rear diff can't take the amount of power to make it worthwhile.

Ive seen people cut 1.8s before with FWD and street tires - so AWD really isnt needed.

Dont believe me? https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1026528

not really.. he was using drag radials. awd DSM's can pull 1.6's on real summer road tires.

speaking of DSMs, anyone have a link to the civic with a full AWD DSM drivetrain??

Drag radials are street tires yo! They are DOT approved. And your right DSMs can pull 1.6s...but who cares swap on a set of slicks and pull 1.5s.

If you are going to do the swap you need to use some other rear end with the same gearing...bigger alxels.....custom rear hubs....300zx rear end might work....i was thinking about it just to say i did it... some one needs to do it....might as well be you...
