This was covered in 6-03 hondatuning. I haven't seen any new installments. They're dragging *** on all their projects
BTW, IMHO I don't think you want to goto a awd setup from an 88-91civic or a CRV. I own both a 90 civic& 99 CRV. I'm switchin my civic to 2wd. The civic awd is good but its on-demand is via a silicon filled center viscous coupling. You will not get the performance type traction you seek from this setup. It is only good for snow & rain. On dry stuff I switch it off. I don't want to bust a 14yr old system.
As far as my CRV goes, I took a corner @ full throttle on dry once and now all I hear from the rear is a loud groaning noise when the rear engages
. The dealer is lookin at it now. I think the civic setup is better but the transfer case is small & weak, both are really.
Check the DSM guys, center diff isn't very strong for them either. The latest EVO tranny is supposed to be better but the only guy I've seen with AWD success is John Sheppard and he has a welded diff in his DSM.
I think the latest Hotrod mag has his article.
If I wanted AWD performance I would buy DSM.
Whichever way, good luck.
