Default Honda Noob - Wagovan

Hello,

I'm new to Hondas and came here for some answers.

The Wagovan, some came with 4wd? Whats the story?
If I were to buy one that were fwd, would it be pretty forward to make it 4wd?

I'm hanging up my DSM shoes, and going with another route.

Thank you.

fwd, and 4wd are different suspension wise.

you'd be better off just finding an awd one and go from there.

it would be a big headache to make a fwd, awd. imo.

Great!

I found 3 in my area, 2 FWD and 1 4WD. I'd be all over the 4WD one, but it needs a clutch.

If anyones looking for one or two, theres a few up in Canada!

Too far for me

I got mine for 1k. Its the 4wd version. They are not AWD, they are real-time four wheel drive. The rear wheels receive power when the front slip.

I love mine, but it you easily get bit by the mod bug, this may not be the car for you. With the 4wd, you are limited to a D16. That's it...

With the fwd, there are some guys trying to squeeze a H22 in there, but that requires a bit of work. Most common swap is the 1.8.

There is always turbo charging, but I mean, a turbo system is worth twice as much as the car!! :D

I love mine tho, it's different and gets great mileage!

gota <3 wagovan's. StlyLEmon love the rotor pic "no rotor no motor" Once I get an Engineering degree I wanna engineer a 'plate' to utilize the AWD D16 'driveshaft' tranny to bolt up to any B-series motor. Just like how Hasport has the B-series tranny plate for the H/F-series motors. Real-Time AWD with a 2.2L Turbocharged B-series swapped into a '91 civic "ef" hatch, Its a lil dream of mine. Imagine that, that **** would be beating the **** out of those damn 700hp Evo's on the Highway, 1/4, circuit & Time attack races! I wanna be the first

There's B to D adapter plates out already. From what i've heard there's an issue with the plate clearing the differential though.
