Hello, in the case of a front wheel drive civic with no differential, what wheel does the power go to. front left or front right?

 

Both front wheels. And all modern cars use a differential. When you say "without a differential", you're probably thinking of a limited-slip differential, which is a specific kind that prevents opposite wheels from spinning too much. All cars use a differential, but not all cars have a limited-slip differential.

power wise. from what i think i know,i say think cause im not 100% sure but more power is distributed to the right front wheel.

 

as nsxtasy was saying, both front wheels pull just not at the same time (in most cases) with an open differential

open diff (what you are describing): power goes to whatever wheel has the least restriction, left or right

limisted slip diff: power is distributed through both wheels at the same time
