would a crv awd drivetrain fit onto a 02 civic

 

not worth the price/labor/custom parts, now stfu

 

No. And heres the non-dick answer.
If you notice, there is no transmission tunnel that goes to the rear wheels. Youd have to have the floor cut up to fit the driveshaft and differential. Its just way too much work, because of the custom fab work, and purchasing of the k-series and drivetrain. It would be easier (and better) to just buy a WRX.

 

even if you got it to work, the AWD system in those cars wouldnt be half as good as an Audi/Subaru AWD system

 

Too much work for too little payoff, IMO.

 

You wouldn't neccessarily have to cut out the rear subframe, my friend has a 92 hatch with a 350 V8 in it. It's tube framed, and is on custom built suspension (he actually rides 3/4" higher than stock EG's) but the rear differential fits without a problem.

Moral of story: It can be done but you're looking at a lot of downtime and money for something that's gonna benefit you little in the end.

 

I was under the impression that the CRV had a special kind of AWD. They call it real time AWD, which basically means the rear wheels only get power when the front wheels slip, via some sort of fancy hydraulic system. I dont know the size or dimensions but it would be alot of work to get it to fit, not to mention you would have to use the CRV's automatic transmission as it also interfaces with the AWD system. And use of that trans requires the CRV ECU, and harness. The amount of work required is absurd.

Since its real time awd, it is useless for something like a rally or rallycross car, where you want all 4 wheels with power all the time, you dont want the car controlling when the rear gets power.

AcuraFanatic, that is crazy. But i have a feeling itd be a little different with a 7th gen because the floor is so flat, the driveshaft and all that hydraulic mess would actually be sitting exposed under the car, instead of in a tunnel like an EK/EG.

Actually to fit the rear differential housing, you would have to cut a huge portion of the subframe out. You'd be better off drilling out the tack-welds and welding in the CR-V subframe for the rear. Although, even after that thought, this is STILL an extremely pricey, not entirely "worth it", venture.

But the question at hand is can I make my civic all wheel drive for no ******* reason, all I wanted was to ask a stupid ******* question. But no everybody had to be a smartass.

who do I sound like?..................................everyone
