Hi guys. I was thinking about doing this conversion on my '00 Civic EX. Has anyone here tried this? What do I need in order to do this? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

if you need to ask.. you're probably not capable of doing this.

 

If you need to ask you will not be able to do it.

 

yeah right hahaha i do you realize how much custom fab is involved in that jeez thats like a 5 year project and ill give you a hint start off with something more simple like a mid engine conversion or say and awd rex i dont know man i dont feel you have the knowhow time or money have you even built your first lsv or crvtec yet

 

Co-sign. It's okay to dream, but don't fool yourself.

 

jb weld, lots, and some meth or bath salts.

 

YAH....not happening any time soon

 

you should swap a three rotor in there, never seen that!

 

Actually yes, I know all the custom work, time, and money involved in this conversion. I was just asking to make sure I didn't left anything out. By the way, what's an AWD rex? Kinda like the sound of it. And just in case you where wondering, no, I don't have a lot of experience, but that doesn't stop me.

 

I'll start the build as soon as I can get my hands on a small pick-up to move around and go to work. I'll post pictures then.

 

You want this:











But more than likely it will look like this:

 

hey how'd you get a pic of my car !!

 

AWD CRX conversion. Involves using the powertrain from an AWD Wagovan, or a CRV, and making it all fit under the CRX. Unfortunately, the rear differentials for all of those cars are made for stock applications, and don't handle added power or racing applications very well.

Have AWD conversions been done? Yes. Is there a lot of information out there about it? No. This is one of those things you'll have to figure out on your own if you want to do it. If you don't have a strong quality work ethic, a LOT of tools (basically a fully stocked shop at your disposal), and a lot of free time, it won't happen. This isn't me talking down to you, or shitting on your dreams, this is me being realistic.

 

Thanks for the info jbpnoman, I really appreciate it. The AWD rex conversion sounds nice but I don't have a CRX, and as you said, they don't handle racing applications too well so, I'll stick to the original plans. B18 or F22 swaps. Although I'm more interested on the RWD Civic. I got my fair share of tools and have a few co-workers with a ton of tools and even more experience than tools. I'll keep you posted on the progress once I start the build.

 

ok im part way through a rwd conversion. didn't ask.. I just researched and designed/ planned.. it didn't leak onto the net until well into the build. trust me asking will get you know where. Garunteed that no matter how much you have planned it requires x4 the work and time/ money blood sweat and tears to get things how you want them. If your prepared to be broke, tired, lonely and have no social life due to building from scratch then try your best at it

 

Thanks for the support MR Envy. I already don't have a social life so, bring it on rwd conversion.

 

Somebody get this guy a grammar textbook.

 

Im sorry if my poor grammar upset you, but failing to see how that is important? The job is possible as proven but isn't to be taken lightly. I understand you lack the ability to think in such an out the box way.. as proven by your " I cant see my cam lobe" posts. Stick to just reading buddy and quit attempting to be a key board warrior. Cheers

or even better a build thread

 

I just checked out part of your build thread and all I can say is WOW. That is just too awesome. Believe it or not, after I did the S2000 engine I was thinking of switching to NSX engine after the S2000 hit its limit. You just motivated me even more. You have done an awesome job on that build man, keep it up.

 

You can't just swap from an F20B to a C30A/C32B. Pick which one you want to go with, and stick to that one.

 

why not? my setup still runs a s2000 gearbox clutch and flywheel?... could just make new mounts and bolt in a f20c
