Just drove one today and did a full stereo audio install in it :)
Feels just like my civic to drive......very easy, comfortable and smooth gearbox, however as said........due to the excess weight and lack of power, it fails to get off the mark!
But at around 5,800 rpm...the engine starts sounding a bit like the might D16A8 :)
Love to know if a B series motor would -
A. Fit in the engine bay without hassles?
B. Be able to remain 4WD?
C. Require any driveshaft/diff/other mods to work?
If someone really knows their stuff and could clear this up for us all I'd be grateful...
Just imagine a 1200kg 4WD ("low") 130KW sleeper with wheels and a 'zorst!
Mmmmmm..... Stealth!
and if it's possible the sums would be -
car $9000 (auction)
engine conversion $4000
parts $2000
TOTAL = only $15000
for a car that would munch WRX's off the line and
sound like a British touring car!
Dreams??? Someone tell me how possible it is!
iijjee
Just Buy a CRV and change the head of that..you're better off.
HRV runs a d-series so you will have to change gearbox, driveshafts, ECU, wiring harness etc.
You could always go turbo and VTEC head + ECU, cause I'm assuming you wouldn't be able to get a gearbox to suit if you did a swap :cool:
15000... just get EK4 and save the hassel
what EK could satisfy the needs of someone after a practical 4WD load carrying machine, with a sub 15 sec quarter? Not even a Vti-R! Nothing on the Oz market at the moment actually!

my forester GT does
plenty of room
and its a Oz delivered model...
The hrv around Ryde way if it was blue/purple indy its a mates and he traded it recently he had extractors , chip(intake) , big exhaust thats about it but he goes very hard .
i have his chip on my hrv now and just got a high flow air filter , huge difference , it was a big enough difference with a new free flowing filter but the chip is very nice response
Holy Old Post Batman!!
heheh
Wheels Magazine did a review of the HR-V back in like 2000.
Something along the lines of
Ride 5 Stars
Comfort 5 Stars
Handling 5 Stars
Power 1 Star
lool
I brought my HR-V along on one of the Melbourne cruises, was awesome fun. SOHC VTAK Y0
Show me a 15 second HRV with full interior and the D series without a turbo.Quote:
