Crazy Swap Help, Ideas, Information
I've been pondering on a HONDishi frankenstein swap.

I've got an AWD 4g63T motor (you know the spex), and I have a CRX HF (1967lbs)

I know anything is possible if you have money. But what's the fun in having a shop do the work for you. I know the basics, I've done a Cyclone swap in a 1g GSX (where this motor came from) and I've fundoodled with hondas for a few years now. I love DSM's peformance but I also love CRX's handling. How about having both. (maybe sacrifice some handling for more power) Heavy 4g63T engine on a light CRX. I mean, why go with an big heavy H22 motor when you can put a 4g63 in the thing.I know it's been done. I have been trying to look for info on this swap with no luck. Has anyone know a site where I can get some info on this?

So far here's what I have:

1G 4g63 Motor
1G intake mani w/ TB and sensors
fuel rail/ injectors
14B turbo w/ mani

Coil, etc.
AWD trans.. prolly FWD trans will work better
CRX shell.. Still running but it's an HF (62HP) great on gas


I'll need: (feel free to add any suggestions here)

Engine Harness (I know where to get one)
Halfshafts Prolly gonna be custom to fit Honda hubs
FWD Tranny
shift cables, brackets
Mounting kit. (machine shop?)

 

Anything's possibly with enough fabrication...honestly though you're gonna want a FWD tranny. I dunno why you'd even try with an AWD tranny.

 

FWD for now and maybe AWD down the road

 

AWD will be extreamly hard to do as there will be no parts that will be swapable from the transfer case back...you'll have to design and make your own...unless someone as done this already. also your going to have to make sure the engine bay is tall enough for the block to fit...because you have to match it up to the suspension of the CRX.....its gunna be tricky...very tricky...but as with anything..can be done...i would love to see it!.....

oh btw.....someone posted a site with a civic with a 4G63 in it...if someone can find it i'm sure that would help you out a lot.

 

I saw that site with the black civic. I think it's up in the air wheather it's true or a hoax
