I was thinking of doing a 4WD Mod to my Civic. I did a bunch of Research into and decided it was to much hassle.
It would be best to buy a Whole 4WD Wagovan and use it for parts.
You will need its Rear Trailing arms, Rear Brakes(Drums), Rear Diff, Drive Lines, Gas Tank, and Transmission. If you open the Tranny you can put in EX/Si Gears into that Case so you have a Close Geared 4WD Tranny. The Transmission will bolt up to any '88+ D-Series Engine.
The CRV Rear Diff wont work with the WagoVan 4WD Tranny. they go at different Speeds. Somewhere on Hondaswap.com someone put Wagovan Drive train into a CRX or Hatch(dont remember), He took tons of pics on his progress, I briefly looked but couldn't find that thread agian. You could use that as a Basis and put it into your Sedan. You will have alot of Fabrication Work ahead of you. I have access to a full metal shop, Most people dont. Keep that in mind before you start taking stuff apart. This wont be a weekend project.
