Do any of you guys know anything about the drivetrains in the AWD civics? (88-91 maybe?) And is the rear suspension independent or solid axle?

 

did they make an all wheel drive civic? i know they made a 4 wheel steering lude & i think an awd accord, but i hadn't heard about a civic(?).............

 

yeah it was an older awd civic wagon... i heard that the drive train wasnt all that great though... there was a post on here a month or two ago about the gsr powered crx with the crv drivetrain... try searching for that if interested... dont know much about the factory awd civic though...

 

jeebs...its chassis code is ee4. I've got one. Not too good for much power, ,im building up mine to push out about 200 crank hp. Check out http://www.honda-civic-wagon.cjb.net. Im Jerry and I put some of the stuff up there check it out

 

Ohh the new rt-4wd uses hydrolics to engage 4wd so it can hold lots more power. The old school 4wd used silicone oil and air.

 

Yeah, I heard that even if you could get that transmission to bolt up to like an EF or a CRX, it wouldnt be worth it because the AWD system barely sends any power to the rear wheels. But those old wagons are really cool! I saw one with a b18c5 in it on this sight once.

it sends as much power as it needs so the front wheels stop slipping. All depends on your traction

 

How much would you estimate the whole system weighs? I'm not really planning on doing anything right now; it's kinda like a concept thought.

 

Oh yeah, and could I beef it up to hold more hp?

 

it adds an extra 300 lbs to the car. trust me, with my 6psi turbo on it, it won't spin a wheel thru a wet rainy intersection, it just launches and goes! it sends enough power to the rear!
