awd...cb7

[Dans92cb7]

still awd is sick we can drive in snow and ever thing and not have to worry about traction..problems

[deevergote]

thing is they have like 4 cams..dont they...it would be hard to work on there motors i live sti to death but there motors are so crazy

STi is Subaru's in-house tuning division. They don't make motors, and they didn't touch the older Legacy, at least not for our market. The engines they use are boxer engines... flat 4s (and 6s in some models). Porsche uses a similar design, as do a few other companies (some of which are sourced from Porsche and Subaru).


Kurobei, are you sure there was an AWD CB-chassis Ascot? If so, we could DEFINITELY use the parts... I've never heard of such a thing, though. 4ws is common, and often mistaken for 4wd... If you have a reliable source, I'd like to see it! You're the king of all things JDM, so I'm ready to believe it...


The Accord with the H23 VTEC and AWD is automatic only... so performance options are quite limited there. Nothing saps power like AWD automatic!

The AWD Civics mentioned in the original post CAME that way. There were AWD Civics in the 4th generation. Ugly boxes, but I've seen quite a few done up with B18 swaps... pretty sick. Not made for performance, though. Build that AWD setup, or blow it up.



The easiest way to convert to AWD would be to use DSM parts. It'd take a TON of fabrication, but they're similar in size to the CB (just look at the Galant VR-4... looks like a CB )

AWD is possible, if you have the resources, patience, a big saw, and a welder

subaru's multilink AWD suspensions are rediculously complicated but you could fabricate one to a CB chassis (not easily) but possible. in fact if your insane enough you could go all the way and put that beastie boxer in the accord. making possibly the SWEETEST track car ever haha.
and 4WS is lame anyways, theyre a pain in the ass to fix, and you cant get out of a parralel park to save your life (sounds wrong, but think about it, front end turning radius seriously reduced)

BESIDES! isnt a 4WD 400hp honda accord what we all dream about at night!?!?!

[bcjammerx]

is that the only year model awd accord made? or is there a cb7 awd?

with an awd...would this not make it much easier to make it rwd?

granted it would not be easy...but much easier than our cb7's...
would make dropping in rwd spec engine and drive shaft and better rear diff easier if it was already set up for that (all be it...smaller components stock)


*edit quick search
Accord Wagon SiR-T
awd and has the F20B

I think it's a 98 model though

doing more searching to verify this claim

[blizzard335]

NO No NO No

The 6th gen JDM Wagon (CH/CL) never got the F20B. it had either the F23a or the H23a. and all wagons were auto or Sportshift tiptronic (CL2)

The sedans (CF5) AWD had only the SOHC F20B making it the VTS spec. SiRs and SiR-Ts never had AWD. and the AWD models lost 10ps and a few torques compared to their 2wd brethren.

And yes, the CF5 Accord VTS was the 1st gen of Accord to get an AWD drivetrain. the CD chassis didnt get 4ws OR AWD. atleast their H22a fit into our CBs thank goodness for that.

our CBs, unfortunately had to make do with just a 4ws chassis option.

Honda never ventured into AWD territory in the late 80's (conception of the CB chassis) until when the civic wagon got the AWD drivetrain.

and then, it spawned.

almost every model had an AWD option by the late 90's, the EF had AWD, the EG gen RTS-i (RT= real time, geddit?), the EK followed suit, but i aint sure if the ES received any AWD options, although the RN Stream (1st gen) had an AWD option for its 2.0 variant. not sure about the 1.7

the humble Fittah got AWD, the JDM Odyssey (all gens), CRV (off course, ) the list goes on and on.

so...there IS a cb7 awd out there? is it a wagon only?

No No

what i said referred to the JDM CF Accord (6th gen)

sorry bout that

[xx93accordxx]

i think it would be fun to drive

[mikesCB-7]

didnt know the civic hatchs had AWD ??? OEM models too? (ek, eg, ef)
