    4WD Civic conversion

    First of all,
    Sorry to everybody for starting a thread like this and Im sure a million people will burn me, but I have information that alot of people may be interested in.
    As we all know the Civic RTSi is the 4WD version (Real-time 4WD) of the 92-95 5th Gen Civic sedan.
    If you didn't know, there's a small groove in the centre of the Fuel tank on the RTSi that allows the driveshaft and rear diff to pass through to the rear (just like the CR-V)
    After months of research I found an RTSi on a NZ trading site.
    Got a vehicle history check using the rego number.
    Got the VIN number (this was the key!)
    Contacted Honda NZ
    And guess what I found?



    The last fuel tank in Japan for the Civic RTSi (Or so they told me)
    So I did what any idiot who wants a 4WD Civic would have done
    BOUGHT THE F"N THING!
    2 weeks later and look what just came in yesterday









    I wont be able to start this conversion for a long time but at least I have the fuel tank.
    As you can see there are two holes either side of the groove.
    These are for the fuel pumps, I do not have these but I'm hoping I can use external pumps or something,I have little mechanical knowledge and a fabrication skill of zero but thats okay cause all I have is time
    At the moment this fuel tank is more valuable to me than the car itself...My wife....My first born.... Nah,
    But really....

    Good work

    Heard of a few American guys getting this but failing miserable (and or having there shit gone shortly after announcing they had it)

    Cannot wait to see the final product

    Just curious are you planning to go with 100% OEM (where possible) or are you planning to improvise?

    *Very Very interested in this*

    Yeah, Um.... Not ready to disclose the engine type (In fear of servere criticism) But If by OEM you mean "Real-time 4WD" then no.
    The driveline wont be that of the CR-V type.
    Realtime wasn't designed with performance and reliability in mind, I just don't see how a viscous centre diff would be all that reliable.
    Does anyone know if the Epic Tuning EF have driveline issues?

    Anyways, Im interested to see what engine/driveline combination you guys think are worthy of such a setup?
