HAs anyone seen a functional AWD civic hatch? Ive been thinkin about starting the project of swaping in the undercomponents of a 5 door awd into my wee hatch. Any insight might help

 

one advice, put your flame suit on ,cause thats all you will recieve

 

looks around for the fire i have the engine tranny installed and just wanted to see if anyone else has or was willing to attempt it.. who needs a 'prez when you got a turbo AWD civic hatch

 

You need a Impreza if you want to push any more then 160whp down the assembly without it grenading on you, that's why.

 

its always one a week or something with the AWD ****, just buy a STI if you want AWD

for people who dont search on stupid stuff

I didnt know honda made An STI..
and ive had a lil 1.5 l pushing out more whp than 160 easy...allits takes is a turbo and some real engineering...not just an intkae and a big ole rice can

Gotta Luv da Kanuks...crv stuff is just too heavy and dif to put in...the 5 door project is almost a direct bolt in......so far.

If you want AWD go buy a Talon/Eclipse, WRX, CRV, ETC...what is the huge craze with making hatch's and CRX's AWD.

You guys should get together

Need anyone say more

 

Yeha i saw those post but noone had any good links to a working model..other than the quebec guy. Its great al you do is serch for th e AWD honda post and can your spam. Im waiting on some custom drive shafts.the only thing i dont like about the setup is the solid rear axel which i swhy most would think the crv is a better running gear choice(not to mention the bigger and more capable motor/tranny) the reason behind the AWD HAtch is ive done everything else..just about every imaginable swap and kustom built turbo kits for everything imaginable. this seems like a project worthy of work. And i wanted to see if anyone else had accomplished such a task and what the final outcome was..Learn from our mistakes isnt only for the military..Id rather learn from someone elses mistakes so far its an easy project..tie will tell..and my 1.6lturbo will own any prez or talon out there...

I dont know why I am posting on this thread.... but...

A turbo easily makes that power... that isnt what he was saying... he said no more than 160 if you want to keep that tranny alive... as in "grinding assembly" What good is a powerful motor when you are going to blow the transmission to crap... every time you step on it a little.

so true, so true

 

the rear diff will explode unless you forge it. you got the money to do that, then build that **** up.

otherwise listen to what people are telling you.

your going to blow up the drivetrain, and its not a true AWD anyway, its really more like a Limited Slip Differential with the front and rear wheels.

but since your an expert, you already knew that. a DSM is ******* dirt cheap, my friends eclipse destroys my fwd, and hes not even running a lot of boost.

and if he blows his tranny, its a simple trip to the junkyard to get another one for cheap.

 

FRee parts are always a benny..and yeah without my mods it is just a dual lsd setup. its just i love the hatch and AWD in it will help me in th mx circuits while stil keeping me in the DM bracket. Daily driver not practical. I used to run my 200hp civic (1.5/6 turbo) abd could get about 6 months without any tranny probs. it just seems theres a lot of haters out there..but all the input and concerns is great. now if only honda jumps on the wagon and makes me nice AWD hatch with like a h22 in it or somn...ill buy it till then ill make somethin

I have long since quit dreaming of an AWD honda... I would build a rear engine civic before attempting an AWD again...

 

Honda did make a SOHC DB, and EG 4dr AWD cars in Japan. The Integra was called a ZXi 4WD.

Are you referring to a Civic AWD or CR-V AWD drive system? Or are they similar enough that either would explode at 160WHP?

I’m curious because I’m going to collect a ’90 Wagon in a few days and I was wondering what my expectations should be as far as modification. The furthest I was imagining, at the moment, was the semi-stock d16 w/ a JRSC or Greddy Turbo Kit (or any other setup w/ the likes of 6-8PSI).

I haven’t been able to find any Civic Wagons with more than a ZC and some bolt-ons. So, I wasn’t anticipating the drive train to hold more than 150WHP, or it would have been done.

 

it will be sweet if you can get it to run right How much weight will the awd system add? Whatever it is, it will be way lighter then a wrx or evo
