4WD Civic conversion

why cant you use the 4wd civic/wagonvan trailing arms and rear hub, and the crv box/rear diff etc, then just get custom drieshafts made up?

would be easier than cutting and shutting the crv arm

trism, a 6th gen. 4wd civic is just a fantasy at this point.

Honda DID make them.

I think we are just slowly chipping away at confirming relevant part numbers for the bits from Honda which will bolt on.

Given the pace it's probably never going to happen, but that's not to say it doesn't deserve a little bit of effort.

no no, im talking about CRV gear into a 4th/5th gen civic

even if its just the box so we can use a b series rather than a d series

Because the B gearbox won't mate with the D engine. If you were to just use the CRV rear dif the VC would bind, they run (slightly) different ratio's.

do the crvs not use a transaxle? the box, front diff and transfer case are all one unit?

**~Sp33~** · 05-12-2008 02:20 PM

Yeah they are? But it still wont mate with the D engine.

Oh in my previous post i said D transmission, maybe that was the confusion, i meant engine. (edited)

lol

if you read what i posted up there, i asked about the crv box so i can use a b series engine, instead of a d series

Ha, sorry. I misread it. I went into a spiel on the previous page on how lame the CRV clutch actuated dif is, I'm not sure if the clutch section could be removed but you would need to upgrade your rear driveshafts, those things really are tiny.

On www.hondacivicwagon.com there was a member who put a B series engine into his 4wd wagon, but it was a lot of work.
