AWD crx project... 56k, go for a walk..
First off, i gotta thank highroller54 for the idea to get our own awd car on the go. This isnt gonna be a trailer park rally car, but its gonna be HM awd track slut thats gonna be beaten within an inch of its life! We got about a weeks worth of 2-3hr nights in and its coming along pretty good.
Check out the progress, The majority of the thread will be copied from another forum where im constantly updating with pics and info. thx guys :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- well, the old light bulb went on when a guy on Home Made Turbo built an AWD ef chassis hatchback using the Realtime AWD drivetrain from the 88-91 Civic Station Wagons. The guys that built that car used a sohc d series. For our motor, we are gonna be using a DOHC 1.6L JDM ZC block built with low compression D16A6 pistons and rods, and a PG7 86-89 USDM Integra cylinder head. The donor car for the drivetrain will be a 88 Honda Civic Station Wagon with the Realtime AWD standard transmission drivetrain. All of this madness is gonna be stuffed into a 88 crx that belonged to my 9th grade gym teacher. he is gonna be in for a shocker when i take it back to HS to show him. BAHAHA. awesome score. picked the crx shell for 400 bux and the wagovan donor cost us 800 bux. ZC cost us nothing. Anyway onto the pics. This one is gonna take a while so dont expect too many quick updates. These first few pics are of the donor car and the dismantling/part out of everything we are gonna need for the swap. Thx to cole @ plus one in nanaimo for finding us a buyer for the motor from the donor car to help us with cost of the car. :thumbsup: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...h/IMG_0243.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...h/IMG_0244.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...h/IMG_0245.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...h/IMG_0246.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...IMG_0247-1.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...h/IMG_0248.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...h/IMG_0252.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...h/IMG_0254.jpg |

I dont think we are gonna need it. Id rather go the route of drilling out the driveshaft hangers from the wagon and welding them into the crx floor and rerouting the exhaust as required, but hey, im not about to argue with the head tech on the matter. We cross that bridge when we get there. |

Re: AWD crx project... 56k, go for a walk..
update:
got the motor in tonight basically to get ---- mocked up and to figure exactly what we have to do with the floor boards. as well we got the passenger side trans mount hanger welded in today. Between the normal crx/civic d series trans mount frame hanger and the wago version there is slight height difference. Give or take i believe it is an inch. From the other 2 guys that did this swap in the EF hatches, the 1st guy welded a tab onto the existing frame hanger This is probably easier initially. Since we had the complete donor wagon, we cut the hanger out, drilled out the spot welds that attached it to the frame, and transfer the mount to the crx. honda spot welds the mounts in the same place, so it was just a matter of lining up the new mount to the old spot welds and welding it in. easy. Next project is, notching the oil pan to clearance the tranfer case and once thats done, its time to start cutting the floor up. That will be the biggest pain, but it looks like honda once again got lazy and they may have taken the hard work out of it, we'll see. Like i said, pics tomorrow. bed time for now. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...h/IMG_0312.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...h/IMG_0313.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...h/IMG_0314.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...h/IMG_0315.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...h/IMG_0316.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...h/IMG_0317.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...h/IMG_0336.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...h/IMG_0337.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...h/IMG_0338.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...h/IMG_0339.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...h/IMG_0340.jpg |

looking forward to more updates. I have heard of people doing this but never seen it done.
In Honda Tuning a few years ago they a series on Awd a '98 Integra with parts from a CRV and they mentioned that this could be done civic also with only some modifications. |
