I was just wondering if anyone has ever seen, or heard of swaping an AWD system for an EF wagon into a sedan, or if its possible without any crazy modifications.

 

Anything is possible, but you will have to modifiy the undercage for install of the drive train. Definately a cool project, but not practical, it will not hold high HP.

 

yea i had a feeling that would have to be modified. So theres no way around only being able to use the 1.5 or 1.6 SOHC engine. I'm not sure but would that tranny beable to accpet any other engine at all??

 

id think youd be able to use the jdm ZC(dohc) d series engine with the awd wagon tranny too

 

nice, i was thinkin that too. I know the ZC bolts right in. If I do decide to take on that swap i'd like to know if thatd work for sure or if nething else would work. i'll do some more research, i couldnt find nething touogh. thanks for the input man

 

sounds like an awesome build.

civic sedan, DOHC ZC, AWD.


get to welding!

 

haha yea lots of welding. still some things i dont know though

 

Somebody did it.

awsome thats pretty cool wish i could read it. Its got the stock engine though, i like to find out for sure if the ZC DOHC would bolt to the AWD tarnny, that would be nice

 

It's been done, a while ago there was a member of HT that had posted pics. It was a few years ago, IIRC...maybe it was turbo'd as well? Curse my old age and ***** memory...

 

that's a different rear crossmember and differential case than on the RT wagon.

 

so honda acutally made a 4wd sedan? thats crazy

 

German only? Looks german to me...

 

yeah the uk and japan got an awd sedan. the ef5 it wont hold under power though you could do b20 vtec crv awd

edit: here's a real EF5 from malaysia's EFCM

Turbo B20 VTEC in a CRV would be awesome. Sleeper 4wd.

damnit, why does the US get all the shitty models of cars

 

im just goin to get a awd wagin drop a zc in it with a turbo and go..... everything else stock... sleeper style

 

that would be awesome to have an awd sedan.. even if it couldnt handle alot of power.. it would be sick. why does north america get all the crappy stuff? compared to uk, japan?

 

I was thinkin about doin that with the Wagon too, but then i thought about how bad *** it would be to have a AWD Sedan. completely different and thats what im goin for. So how sure r u that the DOHC ZC motor works with the AWD trans??

 

take my opinion with a grain of salt, but from everything that i remember reading, all d-series trannies are interchangeable

 

As i recall there was a guy on HT that was selling them from canada. Canada also has them because i have seen them in vancouver BC

this is true....

 

Ive been seriously considering doing an all wheel drive conversion on my sedan also. Im flipping in between doing that or hacking apart my 91 4WS prelude and making the civic sedan 4WS with the lude setup, if I go that way, I want the steering from the 91 vs other years cause of it being mechanical instead of computer controled.

Can you say, 4WS K powered sedan track beast?

 

here is a conversion on a hatch being done, lots of work
