thats spooky had not seen that site but was saying to some one yeaterday if fitted front subframe in the rear could mount diff and still use mini hubs and brakes on the back

looks good

pritty sure that the shutlle stuff is the same as the cr-v the diff is the same can see that anyway

I like this alot, but you will need to have more power than just the standard b16 puts out simply because the amount of work involved would not warrant only 160 bhp that i find perfectly drivable in a fwd setup, Look at the vortech supercharger kit that im considering easy 200+ bhp with a few small tweaks.

Also with the exaust tunnel being robbed fromm you by the prop shafts to the rear how will you route the exaust?... Custom tunnel?...

think 160 bhp will be enough to start with and can easy find more power without going to forced induction

exhaust will run down tunnel with prop as in american kit but will go up and over drive shafts to come out the rear as normal not out the sills as theirs does

well heres what its going to go into

had a play today

now has front subframe fitted in the back , temp mounts at the rear

need to plate over the original shock mounts and make new ones

also need to decide whether to keep the standard setup run coil overs on the rear

if run coil overs can remove the turrets and lower the cross bar then would end up with a flat floor at the same height of the standard floor

Hi i thought i would add a little bit of info from the world of honda tuning.

I have a 91 CRX vtec which did have a B16a1 engine.
But now its have the bottom end of a CRV which is a B20z1
The B20 has almost the same block as the B16 but is a 2.0L but the B20 have a non-vtec head.
What you can do is fit the vtec head from the B16 on to the B20 bottom end using this kit

Clicky

With a B20-vtec and a bit of tuning you can have about 190bhp and a good amount of FtLb with stock honda parts, And if you want to put some money into it you could get what i have...



And that with out any turbo or supercharger just good old vtec, and it's still running sweet to date.
