I had a thought today...Do you guys think it would be possible to get a CR-V (Or oldschool civic wagon diff) into a crx, with the crv tranny mated to a b18c1 or a b18c5? has anyone ever done anything like this before? (or taken the oldschool wagon drivetrain and put it in the crx?) please dont flame...just curious. thanks.

 

uh oh. get your flak jacket on mang. do a search. this has been covered before. be prepared for the, "you can do anything if you had enough money," and so forth. even though you asked not to flame, people can be mean and put your on the bbq. oldschool wagon drivetrain? just say you put all the ends to make it happen. i doubt that thing would be able to sustain that much power and remain reliable. you'd have to custom fab a bunch of parts. to much $ and hassel in the long run. for the amount of money your gonna dish out, just buy a renault r5 and try to legalize it. hahaha...like uncle sam would allow that. hmm...maybe.

 

I know if you Searched you would find this. Seems like Every month or so someone Asks this Questiion. Someone did it already Search and youll find it.

 

Save your money, buy a Subie WRX or WRX/STI.

I have a WRX and a CRX HF. Lots of interesting upgrades for WRXs. Some for STI. But STI has drive-by-wire ECU that is giving the moders head-aches. Still STI comes with 300 HP, adjustable 4 all while drive split (front-to-back).

I like my WRX and I like my CRX. Each has it's good and bad points. Trying to make one out of the other is a waste of time in my opinion.

But if your just mad for an insane project.. then do it. I would personally rather spend money building a turbo'd dart block with some sort of high end engine managment, with LSD and suspension mods to complement it rather than doing a crazy 4wd CRX.

 

Yet another...

 

if you do it you should use the old civic wagon parts and use a ZC that would be easiest drive train wise

the major problem would be the gas tank and mounting the rear diff
you would most likely end up mounting the gas tank in the car and welding in some kind of bracket for the diff


you will be hard up to find a manual tranny from a 4wd civic
your best bet is to find a complete running donor car


if you do find a manual one it will be a 6speed

 

"hahaha...like uncle sam would allow that. hmm...maybe. "

Uncle Sam may not...however...the ol' Jean Chretien might...hahahaha...or paul martin i should say

anyway this was just an idea...all the suspension mounts and what not i could weld on...ive got some pretty good weldin skills y0. next time i will search first...i kind of thought that no-one would do this, but i guess im wrong

thanks guys
