Engine swap for crx? - Honda Forum / Acura Forum

I was thinking of transplanting an nsx engine into a crx using
a crv four wheel drive gearbox and axles , drives etc. what do you guys think on this i can get all the parts fairly cheap so it wont matter if it doesnt work but it would be a nice project if it worked!!

Has anyone ever tried this conversion before or even coverting
the 4x4 crv drivetrain into a crx? its looking like the nsx engine thing might have to be dropped as i dont think it is going to physically fit in the bay i might have to go for a 2litre crvtec turbo instead if it wont! any links would be most appreciated

If you really wanna try AWD then take it from an old civic wagon. I dont think the CRV drivetrain will work, but hey if you can get it cheap then i guess it couldnt hurt to waste some time.

Well look this up on altavsita i know this you speak of has been done, it runs 11's it has been transplanted in the rear of the car...I have seen pics, but they raced it stock and blew it up revving to like 8-9k each time ... It is possible...

Hope you have alot of $$$$$$$ to get this done.

The CRV gearing wont bolt up to the engine, and all the axles and such would have to be custom. You mentioned using that and it wont work.
