Me and another friend were talking. im gonna need a new engine soon since the current enigne is wearing down. (1996 Honda Civic EX Coupe Vtec) and im looking into making it 4 wheel drive, alota work but i tihkn it'll be unquie, because everyone drops in B16's and 18c's and i dont wanna be like everyone else. i looked up some info, and the RB outa the R32 Skyline would fit but take sum serious mods to the frame and firewall. but was also thinking recently of a the Evo 8 but cant find the info i need to see if its possable. what do you guys and gals think?

You're retarded.
thats Fing awsome ...... i want one
i looked up the engine and other fourms dealing with the engine, alot of what i saw basiclly the engine isnt street legal being its a str8 racign engine. aside that i was unable to find out anything else aside from wut was posted if anyone can find liek a price or someplace that sells it or sumthin...? cause i can get a RB25DET for round 2.5-3k. and have a godzilla civic
may sound rice but its about hte pwoer n performace id get the rb then man, this v8 would probably be around 7-8ki looked up the engine and other fourms dealing with the engine, alot of what i saw basiclly the engine isnt street legal being its a str8 racign engine. aside that i was unable to find out anything else aside from wut was posted if anyone can find liek a price or someplace that sells it or sumthin...? cause i can get a RB25DET for round 2.5-3k. and have a godzilla civic
I find it unlikely this will actually happen. I've seen plenty of these threads by now and we all see how common this really is. I believe it's more work than most people first imagine it might be.
There are 6th gen Civic sedans in Japan and some other parts of the world which are already 4WD stock (EK5 and EK8). I would suggest trying to get one of those chassis to begin with. I'd be interested in really seeing how different the chassis might be, but at least it already would have the driveline. It's made to mate to a D16A though, so I'm not sure how you'd decide to work that out.

x2......i think a more reasonable build would be a s2k swap.....rwd, good power, and people have done it before so theres all kinds of parts made for this swap
possably might cost the same as another car, but gonna be stickin wit this civic for a very long time lol
NOFX - dunno bout everyone else, but im not everyone else
already started saving for hte project, i jsu like ta get other opioins other than friends. altho the 4doors in japan have 4wd not only would the insurance be higher cuz of my age but it would cost about the same ta buy the RB and installed. prollyi can say 100% this is not going to happen..... sorry to break it to ya man, but you are wasting your time, and ours for trying to convince us. it would be cool, but like all the other EXPERIENCED people said, it'll be way too much time,effort and more importantly, money.
Regardless, id love to see the timeline of the build on whatever you choose to do. lol
Honestly dude, i think your wasting time and money. your talkin big baller/sponsered/company owned cars, its just not in the books man. Stop dreamin, stay true to your honda roots and go B/K series
Apearently not, cuz if it were for the power, you'd be happy with a fully buit b18 on a monster turbo, or a k-swap even. Being like 'everyone else' wouldnt be a factor.cause i can get a RB25DET for round 2.5-3k. and have a godzilla civic
I actually lol when i read that!
